Hoka Stinson 7 Trail Running Shoes
If you're going to pack just one pair on your next adventure, this is it. Known as the Swiss army knife of shoes - thanks to its road-to-trail agility - the Stinson 7 cues up the perfect blend of plush cushioning and versatile traction. Made to conquer any terrain, you'll find pavement, trail, and gravel are no match for the Stinson's stabilizing H-Frame, rubber toe cap, and multi-directional lugs.
Engineered Jacquard Mesh Upper
The upper unit of the Stinson 7 gives maximum breathability through its engineered jacquard mesh upper. The lightweight mesh material allows optimal airflow, keeping the feet cool and dry. The wider toe box will give your feet more room to expand on longer runs, which will improve comfort and reduce fatigue. Covering the toes, there is a durable toe cap which has been engineered for enhanced protection, improving durability as well as providing protection from heavy shocks and impacts. A traditional lacing system offers a secure and comfortable fit for the road and trail, locking down the midfoot to reduce the risk of in-shoe slippage and add stability to your run.
CMEVA Midsole with H-Frame Technology
The full-length Compression Moulded EVA is placed in the midsole, providing impressive cushioning, added stability and increased impact protection. The midsole of the Stinson 7 also uses Deep Active Foot Frame technology to increase responsiveness and feedback by allowing the foot to sit deep into the midsole. This has made the shoe highly adaptable to a wide range of running styles and foot shapes and has been further enhanced with wrap-around side walls for a secure and stable feel. The shoes have a broad midsole and accommodating fit for a comfortable ride. Hoka's Meta-Rocker midsole geometry is specifically designed with a low heel-toe differential and a sculptured outsole to create a unique fulcrum effect, like a rocking chair, to encourage a guided gait cycle. This design supports the runner's natural form while promoting an efficient, smooth roll from initial impact to toe-off. Styles with a Late-Stage Meta-Rocker have the transition zone placed in front of the metatarsal heads, which provides a more stable base of forefoot support. Containing Hoka's H-frame technology, the Stinson 7 is designed to prevent excessive inward roll or overpronation without overcorrecting your gait. Adventure seekers will love the Stinson's softer foams, new H-frame and deeper Active Foot Frame. Lastly, the Stinson 7 features a higher bed of soft cushion, designed to provide a forgiving impact and ride.
Zonal Rubber Outsole
With increased traction, the Stinson 7 provides you with max cushion from street to summit. When trail running it is imperative to have an assured footing, with difficult, unpredictable terrain often causing obstacles and challenges to your performance. The Stinson 7 boasts a sticky Zonal rubber outsole, which delivers an abundance of grip and traction to help fill you with confidence as you take on the trails. The highly durable outsole is able to maintain its high level of performance no matter what is put in its path. The long-lasting rubber looks after itself when exposed to uneven surfaces, abrasions, and scrapes. Strategically placed, the rubber outsole assists with certain movements, like takeoffs, landings, and sudden changes of direction. Completing the outsole are multi-directional lugs that give you the give required to conquer all trails.
