HOKA
Stinson 8
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.
What's new: About 22 g lighter than the Stinson 7, with an enhanced H-Frame, a softer bottom foam layer, a more breathable upper and a new hybrid lug pattern.
