HOKA ONE ONE Arahi 4 Review

The HOKA ONE ONE Arahi 4 is a uniquely designed daily trainer geared toward creating dynamic stability from initial contact to toe off. The shoe features a surprisingly responsive ride for a stability trainer with a 5mm drop ratio and a relatively firm landing with maximalist like protection. The dynamic stability system also acts as a full length platform, rather than just a single posted region. Weighing only 9.6 ounces, this may be one of the faster true daily stability training shoes out there.

Hoka One One Elevon 2 Multiple Tester Review

The Hoka One One Elevon 2 is the most cushioned shoe of the Hoka Fly collection, now in its second iteration.  A firm riding but highly cushioned and responsive ride for such a maximalist shoe.  The upper is surprisingly volumous for a Hoka shoe and an interesting tongue provides an anatomic fit.  Best used as a daily or uptempo trainer, the Hoka One One Elevon provides a unique and very stable ride that may work for a variety of people.

Skechers GOmeb Speed 6 Hyper Multiple Tester Review

The Skechers GOmeb Speed series has varied significantly in design over the years.  Initially, the shoe was a versatile long distance racer that was designed for the marathon.  That evolved into version 4 and 5, which each became lighter and more aggressive.  The Skechers GOmeb Speed 6 HYPER manages to drop even more weight while going back to the original versatility thanks to the addition of a full length HYPER BURST midsole.  An almost complete redesign (save for the pebax plate in the midfoot), the Speed 6 HYPER should be on your radar.
