Seriously, Hoka has saved my life! After years of abuse, my feet are SHOT! I've developed a Morton's neuroma under the 3rd and 4th toes of my left foot, and had to quite jogging. Even walking aggravated it; it was just painful. Sharp shocks of pain would shot up my foot every time I stepped the wrong way. I tried many brands of walking shoes looking for adequate support and cushioning, and then I found Hokas! Alas, I can walk again! This is my third pair; the first two held up for about a year and logged between 500-700 miles each. I walk on city streets, gym floors, running tracks, country roads and trails in them and they perform beautifully and hold up spectacularly. They look goofy, but I'd highly recommend them for runners, walkers, and people who are on their feet for extended periods during the day.
