Hokas ...I love that you pictured me tall! :) :) :)<br /><br />Hokas are zero drop, and I have never been happier with a pair of shoes as I have been with my Hoka Cliftons. They are a little "less shoe" than some of their other models, but super cushy and comfortable. You should try a pair on, and if your running store has a generous return policy (as mine does), buy a pair and give them a few test runs!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-55456290377091410592016-01-20T21:36:34.733-06:002016-01-20T21:36:34.733-06:00That is one sweet medal!
I had to laugh when you ...That is one sweet medal! <br />I had to laugh when you said you were short because I actually pictured you in my head as a tall person! Pictures can be so deceiving, eh? <br />So let's talk about these Hokas. As you know I've been having sore feet during higher miles. This never happened to me while I wore my Altra Olympus shoes. I can no longer wear the Altras cus they are those zero drop shoes. I have switched to the Mizuno enigma. The Mizunos have treated me well up until this sore feet during high miles issue. I am thinking perhaps I should try the Hokas because they look like they have lots of cushioning. Are they zero drop? I am a neutral runner, which Hoka would you suggest?
