      In California I see everyone wearing them. People are tired of all these shoes turning into socks w grips on the bottom and overpriced. But these are real shoes.

    I've been running with the Hoka Bondi 8 for the last 2 years. As a not so young man, I pretty much gave up on the idea that I could still run until I started wearing them. I got the recommendation from an employee at my local sneaker store and it opened up a whole world for me. Getting the right pair of shoes, socks, compression socks? When I feel like it, i can rip off 10 miles now. This is from someone who's had feet problems from youth and is "not young"!

    Hoka has drop, which is for running and not good for standing still, so its a bit of a myth that these are the best, but they dont make cushion sneakers so this is the "only" option we have. also, the toebox is not wide. Hoka actually has too narrow toebox compared to others, so this doctor probably has extra wide, which not all hoka come in. I also want to add, one of the reason hoka is solid, is 1: vibram. 2: gore-tex. Which is NOT hoka.
    I love hoka myself, but holy shit this is overhyped.

For context I’ve worked on balenciaga 3xl’s and they were more comfortable but hey I’m not gonna work in $1,200 dollar sneakers 😉
