A little history of the brand

When it arrived, the brand revolutionised the trail running shoe market. Everything about Hoka One One is different, from the look of their shoes to the technologies they use. Comfort is central to Hoka and the brand is renowned for it. If you've ever worn HOKA shoes, you'll know what a unique feeling they give.
