These are the most comfortable running shoes I ever owned. I will definitely buy them again. Just wish they weren't so expensive.

Hoka One One convert

4/5
Overall
This was my first Hoka One One shoe, which I got on sale online. I typically wear a 8.5, but ended ordering a half-size up which fit perfectly. I moved to this shoe because I wanted something with more cushioning after running with the Saucony Guide and Ride for the past few years. I slightly overpronate but didn't think that with my mileage (40-43mpw) I really needed that much support and went with a cushioned shoe. These shoes feel really good on my feet, and now my shoe rotations include only Hoka One One shoes. Buy them (on sale) and try them - most likely you won't be disappointed.
