Hoka Vanquish 2 Women's Running Shoes

Built to perform mile after mile, the Hoka One One Vanquish 2 delivers cushioned comfort and responsiveness. These neutral trainers use dual-layer midsole construction with a high-rebound body EVA midsole and high-cushion EVA top midsole. With an athletic fit and spacious toe box for stability and more powerful toe-offs, these shoes help you perform at your highest level.

Breathable and Supportive Upper

For 2016, the Vanquish 2 receives an updated upper with a focus on increasing breathability. Employing this new webbed upper within the design specification ensures greater air-flow; generating an environment that is altogether drier and more comfortable as a result of this inclusion. Additional comfort ensues from a ComfortFrame inserted into the heel and midfoot, providing the shoe with excellent stretch and recovery measures. Hoka infuse seamless supportive overlays which provide necessary stabilisation around the midfoot from medial to lateral. A seamless interior environment to the ATR reduces irritation and blistering, as well as the number of potential weak points throughout the shoe that would otherwise be prone to tearing or breakage. A lightly padded tongue merged onto the upper provides increased protection and comfort across the foot.

Cushioned Midsole

A prominent design feature in the Vanquish, enables the wearer to take advantage of two midsole technologies featuring within the shoe: a full-length CMEVA midsole, provides industry-leading cushioning, whilst IMEVA offers a firmer, more pliable aspect to cushioning. Specifically engineered with a low heel-toe differential and a sculpted outsole radius, the Vanquish encourages a unique natural rolling motion for the wearer. This supports natural form and encourages an efficient, continuous positive rolling motion from heel strike to toe-off. Hoka shoes offer a unique rolling motion for the most natural, efficient and effortless stride. To achieve these results this has an extended profile; a logarithmic shape for a smooth progressive rolling motion. There is unsurpassed shock attenuation, a sense of weightlessness and an inherently stable ride which is designed to reduce the fatigue in your feet, legs and core.

Durable and Grippy Outsole

The outsole of the Vanquish is integrated with H-Shape dynamic stability technology, promoting a wide midfoot platform for maximum underfoot stability, with Full Ground Contact that enables increased traction and a smooth heel to toe transition. Add to that abrasion-resistant rubber and mapped zonal placement, grants the shoe with a longer life as durability is increased. Completed with strategically placed flex grooves, allows the wearer to take on uneven terrain with consummate ease.
