UGLY, but like running on clouds

Anonymous runner · Feb 15, 2018

5/5

Overall

This remains my favorite HOKA model. I'm so glad I stockpiled them while they were still easy to find. The heel cup on the newer Bondi models comes up to high and bruises the underside of my ankles after only a few miles. This shoe is wonderful for long run days on the road, but shouldn't be used on uneven surfaces.
