Bought hokas online. Thought the same thing when I tried them on. Couldn’t return them in time and they sat in my closet for 2 months. Decided to wear them out one day just out of the guilt of not returning them in time. that turned into a 15 hour day on my feet where I was comfortable the entire time. I understand the hype now and reach for hokas over brooks, asics, new balance, Nikes. Trying them on at the store does not give you the experience of truly wearing hokas. You absolutely have to break them in and they will form to your foot in a way that brings indescribable comfort. I think far too many people have become used to having their toes jammed together and don’t understand what a shoe should feel like on the foot. Hokas for all.

Running a race with new shoes is pretty risky 😬 I don’t think it’s the arch support from hoka that bothered your feet (they’re known for making pretty neutral shoes) as much as it could have been that they were gussetted. That means they have elastic bands around the middle of your feel that help a bit with arch support but other things also. However, it makes them feel tight, almost like they’re pinching your feet. I learned about it and started cutting my gussets on my hoka, but now I don’t run in hoka anymore.

I don’t know why everyone is body shaming her, it’s gross. Anyway, as a distance track and cross country runner, I wore brooks and honestly they begin to flatten out really easily. Take that as you will, this can obviously lead to injuries, etc, and I wouldn’t recommend them if you’re doing high, high mileage. Hokas offer a lot more cushioning and it takes some time to get used to, but they eventually get super comfortable. Nike as well. If you’re a distance runner, go for more cushioning. If you’re thinking of only doing sprints, flatter shoes will work.

I am also a medium arch girly but three years ago I started wearing zero-drop shoes and it changed my whole life. No more shin splints or sore arches or that thing where the ball of your foot burns for no reason when ur just standing for a long time. zero-drop basically just means flat, but most zero-drop shoes also come with wide toe boxes that allow your toes to splay all the way while you run. This corrected my balance issues too

I like 0-drop, but I don't always like "barefoot" (ie, I like some distance between my foot and the ground), so I really love that they have a chart with the "ground feel" level of each of their shoes. I've owned 4 pairs 😅. The Primal Zen is my gym shoe, the Boulder Summit is my work boot, the Trailhead is my hiking shoe. I also have a pair of Primal 3s, but the soles on those are too thin for me. A lot of people also like Altra shoes, but they are very expensive and not great for people with wide feet. Personally I think they are a little over-engineered, but I like my Escalante 3s for days when it's too hot to wear my boots at work.

It looks like even though you have medium arches, you do pronate when you walk which is the flexing/falling inwards of the ankle and arches. This may be why the Hoka Clifton or Bondi were uncomfortable as the arch piece is suited for medium to high arches with little to no pronation axis. While the Brooks Ghost and New Balance have a more similar shape and lower arch style like the Nikes you have. Every brand is different and it’s super important to find what works for you! 500-600 miles is the max that most running shoes are good for otherwise they may start hurting your knees, feet, or back.

Im super flat footed and that means a lot of "professionals" jump to me needing super high arches to "fix" my feet but like i dont actually have any of the issues that come with "problem flat feet" because mine are my natural skeletal / muscular build, so high arches cause me pain and make walking and balencing harder. Ive finally settled on shoes with really minor arches, enough to help keep me from pulling my feet muscles but not so much as to disrupt my natural build and cause pain. :))
