What model of Hokas did you try? I've got 2 different pairs of boots for work, the anacapas and Kaha gtx. I have 7 other pair of sneakers. 2 pair of bondi 7's, 1 pair of bondi 8, zinal, mach 5, profly, challenger atr 6. I just started the on clouds, Cloudtec and some other "cloud" name. Waaaay too many for sure, but I was off 14 months and REI has some killer deals!Honesty, the Hokas didn’t work for me. The support ridge that is between the toes and the ball of the foot landed right on the balls of me feet. Made my toes go numb. I ended up with the Cloud brand
