{"title":"HOKA","description":"\u003cp\u003eHOKA started in France in 2009 with a proposition that looked absurd at the time: a running shoe with two to three times the usual midsole volume. The idea came from downhill mountain running, where the founders wanted to descend faster with less damage, and the oversized midsole plus the rockered geometry did exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe maximal shoe is now normal, and HOKA has spread across the whole range — Clifton and Bondi for cushioned road miles, Mach for faster days, Speedgoat and Stinson for trail and ultra distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFRAME stocks HOKA for the two cases where the geometry earns its keep in the UAE. First, high-volume road training on unforgiving tarmac, where the cushioning is what lets someone hold a week of Canal loops without accumulating damage. Second, long trail and ultra days in the Hajar range, where the rocker helps late in a run when form starts to go and the extra stack takes the edge off sharp ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rocker takes a few runs to adapt to. Worth walking in before committing to a long session.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRelated: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/running-footwear\"\u003eRunning Footwear\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/trail-running\"\u003eTrail Running\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/road-running\"\u003eRoad Running\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/salectshopframe.com\/collections\/hoka.oembed","provider":"FRAME","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
