Expert Review
Historically not able to wear many models of Hoka's bc I have narrow, low volume feet and I didn't like the high stack height, this one works great for me. Light enough for racing but protective enough with excellent grip. Perfect for a runnable course with some technical sections and slick rock + sand underfoot. I personally love the built in collar too.
