HOKA Running Shoes & Sneakers

HOKA

HOKA was started in 2009 in Annecy, France and has quickly become a leader in innovation in the sports footwear industry. Nicolas Mermoud and Jean-Luc Diard had a simple idea: to change the way people run downhill. HOKA is named after a Māori phrase that means "to fly," and its groundbreaking shoe designs embody the spirit of flight. The brand's success is based on its unique combination of oversized midsoles and exceptional cushioning, which have become synonymous with HOKA.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is HOKA known for?

HOKA is known for maximalist, oversized-cushion footwear that began in trail and road running and now spans everyday walking, hiking, recovery, and kids. The brand pairs thick yet lightweight midsoles with a smooth rocker geometry for comfortable, protective steps.

What materials and technologies does HOKA use?

Most HOKA shoes are built on lightweight EVA or CMEVA midsoles with a MetaRocker geometry and a stabilizing Active Foot Frame. Uppers use breathable engineered mesh or knit, while outsoles range from Durabrasion rubber to grippy Vibram, with GORE-TEX on waterproof styles.

How do HOKA shoes generally fit?

Most HOKA shoes fit true to size with a comfortably roomy toe box, and many core models offer wide and extra-wide widths. A few styles differ, so speed shoes can feel slightly narrower, and the insulated Kaha 2 Frost Moc is designed to be ordered a half size up.

What does the HOKA collection include?

The range spans max-cushion road trainers like the Bondi and Clifton, the faster Mach, stability options such as the Arahi and Gaviota, road-to-trail and waterproof styles, amphibious and winter hikers, recovery slides and slip-ons, plus kids sizes.

How do I care for HOKA shoes?

For mesh and knit styles, remove the insole and laces, hand wash with mild soap and cool water, and air dry away from heat rather than using a dryer. Wipe waterproof and leather styles clean and reapply a suitable water-repellent treatment periodically.

How can I style HOKA shoes?

HOKA shoes pair easily with both athletic and casual outfits, from leggings and joggers to jeans and shorts. Their cushioned, sporty silhouettes suit workouts, travel, and everyday wear, while waterproof and hiker styles add rugged, weather-ready options.
