HOKA
Torrent 5
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.
What's new: The midsole is about 5 mm taller throughout, with a revised engineered-mesh upper and a protective rand, yet HOKA says it is lighter than the Torrent 4.
