Good pair for water-proof trail running.
Yes , I recommend this product
Love this pair of water-proof, trail running HOKAs. They feel as cushy and supportive as the 1st pair of HOKAs I ever bought, which made me a fan of the brand [unfortunately, I can't say that for the last 2 pairs I purchased]. The only negative is that the pull-on loop in the back is too tight / not enough loop, and therefore can't be used to help get the shoes on. But big picture, they feel great when I'm running, and my knees don't hurt when I'm finished with my run!

Super Comfortable Hiking Shoes
Yes , I recommend this product
Incredibly comfortable and grippy soles for hiking and trail running. I thought I would hate the cement/grey color, but I actually love it for hiking.

Great but
Yes , I recommend this product
These are great except there are no loops in the tongue to run the laces through so the tongue moves off to the side making them a bit uncomfortable. Other wise they are great!
