HOKA adds more cushioning underfoot while redesigned multidirectional lugs improve traction across changing terrain, giving you a smooth ride on the road with enough grip and protection when the pavement ends. The updated fit through the forefoot and instep makes this an especially versatile option for everyday road-to-trail miles.
