How it ranks
The HOKA Torrent 2 trails most trail shoes in our data. Durability and value are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 2 runner reviews and 4 other rated shoes in the Torrent product line. Another 10 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

Overall
This is still overall my favorite trail shoe. Lightweight, but responsive and good ground connection. Good enough cushion, but low enough stack height to feel grounded. Love the grip for the first 150 miles but the durability goes quick.
