After trying them for myself, they go fast alright, and look and feel good doing it.
As a runner, theyre like nothing Ive ever worn beforeand I mean that in the best way possible.
Plus, a podiatrist agrees.
This is a serious running shoe.

Just walking in them, I felt like my feet wanted torun.
First impressions
Remember how I said this road-racing shoe is like nothing Id ever worn before?
Its also like nothing Ive everseenbefore, and stands out in a sea of plain white sneaks.
The see-through teal material engulfs your foot from toe to heel in a lightweight, barely there mesh.
For that reason, I skipped testing the kicks on the trail.
The midsole ishuge(a whopping 40mm of stack height!)
and my feet, knees, hips, and back thanked every single millimeter on runs.
I logged a few miles on a Stairmaster just for testing, which honestly wasnt that fun.

(The high-rise tongue of the shoe was uncomfortable on the front of my ankle.)
The way Hoka designed the carbon-fiber plates between the two layers of foam propels youforward.
From my experience, you might certainly feel the wind breezing in it.
