“My Hoka running shoes were recommended to me by a podiatrist who is also a runner. She advised these because I pronate, have bunions and a previously fractured ankle. These shoes stop me pronating and are wide enough at the toes not to rub my bunions. There is good ankle support too and they are very lightweight.
As it's been a while since I ran because of the ankle injury, I started with the Couch to 5K as advised by this podiatrist. I have comfortable runs in my Hoka shoes and so far have not had any injuries or discomfort at all.
The Hoka shoes may seem expensive but you get what you pay for- to be comfortable and injury-free. Northern Runner's price for the shoes was better than every other company I looked at and they arrived quickly, in excellent condition. I would buy from them again and I have recommended their website to my son.”
