Hi Juan, great video, and great channel...I've subscribed. Have you had any issues with the mid to upper lace prongs? I've purchased these (not from REI :( ) so I can't really put them through their paces, but I'm undecided. Do you still like them 5 month in?
Hey thank you!! I haven’t had any issues with the lace prongs. I still like them but I’m switching shoes to something more barefoot feel. They are soooo comfortable but they have so much cushioning that it might be making my legs a little weak. But that’s because I have some issues so I doubt you’ll be encounter that.
@Blasquezadventures The reason I don't like to use the HOKAS for Mountain or Woodland hiking is because they are too spongy, and I feel off-balance with them. For negotiating tree roots and rocks and rubble, I need to get a sense of my connection to the ground so that I can be responsive. All that spongy bouncing makes me feel reactive versus responsive.
I love them, I wear them A LOT, take them to the gym too and the sole seems to have a lot of life left. The one thing that sucks is that they freaking stink, I have to wash them often, changed the insoles and they still smell, they don’t have air flow because they are water proof. I’m still trying to figure out how to deal with the odor, but they are still some of the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned.

@@filmsbyone btw I'm also in SoCal, so the channel has Greta info for me.
I own both pairs of shoes myself. I like the HOKA for urban cement walking, and the Timberland for woodland/hills/mountain hiking.
I agree, the Hoka are I think one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever had haha
