HOKA made its name with maximal cushioning and rockered soles. The range spans the Clifton and Bondi road shoes, the Mach speed trainers, the Rocket and Cielo racers and the Speedgoat family on the trail.

A carbon-plated trail racer with a highly rockered, snappy ride for fast running on smooth trails and fire roads. It is stable and light for its stack, but the snug fit and modest lugs keep it off muddy, rugged terrain.
A carbon-plated PEBA racer with a higher drop and a stable, forgiving platform. It suits heel strikers and runners who want a durable race shoe rather than the bounciest one.
A carbon-plated max-cushion trainer built for slow, long miles rather than speed. Version 2 is much lighter and has a wider base, so it feels remarkably stable for its towering stack.
A maximal mountain trainer with a firmer heel, more cushioning and a forefoot stiffener for a smooth rocker. Vibram Megagrip and deep protection make it a long-day ultra shoe, at the cost of weight.
A trail super shoe with twin parallel carbon plates in dual-density PEBA and a Vibram Megagrip outsole. It is fast, smooth and stable over long distances on mild to moderate terrain.
A light, low-stack trail racer now built on nitrogen-infused supercritical EVA for extra spring. It is nimble and flexible on mixed, moderately technical ground, but offers little cushioning or stability for long days.
A Pebax-plated super trainer that pairs a PEBA top layer with an EVA base for long workouts. Deep cushioning and a quick-rolling rocker make it a fast-but-forgiving partner for tempo and long runs.

The Clifton rebuilt around a supercritical PROGLIDE+ foam instead of standard EVA. It keeps the big, protective Clifton ride but returns a little more energy on long and steady runs.
HOKA's most supportive road shoe, with a full-length H-Frame wrapped around a soft, rockered CMEVA midsole. It suits overpronators and runners who want maximum stability for easy miles and long days on their feet.
A cushioned road-to-trail shoe with a Clifton-style ride and lugs that bite on gravel and park paths. Version 8 is taller and roomier, making it a comfortable door-to-trail option for mixed surfaces.
HOKA's mid-weight stability trainer keeps its H-Frame support and smooth rocker under a redesigned engineered-mesh upper. Stable without feeling rigid, it suits easy daily miles more than faster work.
A max-cushioned hybrid shoe with an H-Frame for stability on roads, gravel and easy trails. It is protective and comfortable for long, easy miles but heavy and unsuited to steep or technical ground.
HOKA's budget daily trainer grows up with more foam, a higher drop and a smooth rocker. It is a simple, comfortable and affordable everyday shoe rather than the featherweight speedster earlier Rincons were.
HOKA's affordable all-round trail shoe gets a taller midsole and a protective rand. It is versatile for everyday dirt-path running, though the EVA foam and HOKA rubber are less premium than pricier options.
