2/5

Overall

I had bought these shoes hoping they were the successor of the Hoka Vanquish. They had the amount of foam, and weight of the vanquish but not anywhere near the cushion. I did not see how the weight was justified because if someone wanted a "responsive" shoe, as hoka said they were going for, there are many better options at much less weight and a lower price tag

This shoe felt very clunky and uncomfortable at first, but after a few runs in them they felt normal but maybe a bit too bulky.
