Subject: RE: Extra cushioned running shoe?YeaJackson - 2013-03-22 9:18 PM I run with the Nimbus because I underpronate (supinate) and they work especially well for this. The Hoka Bondi mentions the word 'stability' in their description which leads me to believe its not a neutral shoe. Anybody know? The Hokas only have a 4mm heel drop with enough arch support, but not flat. The "stability" comes from the wider tread, plus your foot sits lower that it appears and adds more stability. Stability isn't from rigid material like other stability shoes. My first run in my Bondi S was 12 miles, no break in needed. I've had issues with calf cramps and haven't experience them since using these over the last month and a half. I've had numerous injuries - two ruptured achilles, ruptured quadriceps, broken tib/fib, MCL tear, anterior tibialis torn (from getting hit by car on my bike). Those are just my lower extremity injuries. Running is actually fun with minimal pain and aches! |
