Overall

This shoe is amazing... I tried on like 7 different trail shoes, and the moment I put this one on I immediately knew i had to get it. SO I did. It feels so comfortable and relatively light . I'll probably get this shoe every time now.

Overall

Ooh-wee. I used to favor low-structure, high-flexibility shoes. Then I got horrible shin splints. I needed a shoe that would let me train at full volume while still recovering. HOKA ONE ONE had me covered. Lightweight, a comfortable upper, an incredibly supportive midsole, and premium traction. I used this shoe for every type of run on technical trains, dirt roads, pavement, and even ice. It performed magically in all conditions. Last year, I rotated three pairs of Torrents and got an average of 850 miles out of each one. I highly recommend this shoe for almost all runners. The Torrent is arguably the best all-around trainer ever, and I hope the new one is even better.

Overall

This shoe provides the traction needed for any terrain with adequate cushion while still weighing less than 10ounces ((close to 9ounces flat) for a 10 US size. It has gone been worn through all the different terrains of PA that can be offered from rocky ascents/descents, dry creek beds, muddy trails, soft hard packed tracks and fire roads. This would be a solid shoe to have for Ultras (i.e. worn at Eastern States 100 for a portion)

Hoka One One Torrent Trail Shoe

HarrierStu · Aug 7, 2019

3/5

Overall

I won a trail race and was awarded a free pair of Hokas. The torrents were what I chose to replace my Altra Superiors. The upper of the Torrents is very snug and protective in the toe cap. The toe-box is fairly roomy I had to choose a half size up of my regular shoe size to get a comfortable fit. It took about 30 miles of easy trail running for these shoes to break in. At first I din't like them, but know I routinely wear them for trail runs up to an hour, hill strides (on the trails) and strides. The traction is great and the shoe is responsive. The torrent's mid-sole is snappy and just soft enough to not beat you up. These would be good for a trail 5k-10k race. Anything longer than that I would go with a different shoe.

Great shoe for mostly trails and for someone who needs extra cushioning. Not very durable for those doing high mileage.
