Best trail shoe ever

Yes that’s what he said!

No. It was the prototype shoe with the high ankle collar. But it sounds like the TectonX3 might be similar.

É bom saber,você não é o unico a falar da falta de durabilidade dos tênis hoka!😊

would you recommend some durable brand of shoes which can withstand high volumes so I dont have to buy new pair of shoes every season? I had similar experience with inov8 parkclaw shoes this season.. they are so damn sweet in all aspects, but i can throw them away because of the damage.. thanks!

@@TK-ok6hk Well, I recently bought Saucony Xodus Ultra 1 on a great bargain(because it's an older model) and so far I am pretty impressed with shoe. The outsole is almost a 100-percent covered in rubber, which greatly improves durability. The midsole is a little bit firmer compared to the Speedgoat, but it also feels more stable and bouncier. The grip is also excellent. .My girlfriend has Asics Trabuco 11 and they also seem pretty sturdy although not as soft compared to the Speedgoat.

​@@radoslavstoev4550 Thank you for the valuable info. I might try Saucony shoes instead of Hoka this time!

@@TK-ok6hk Nnormal claims being designed/built for great durability. Asics and Mizuno, being above average subject to Japanese QA protocols and buyer expectations, will almost certainly hold up as well. More and more shoes are purely designed for "performance." Shoes are sold on the back of race wins and release-day KZfaq-tester "best in test" now. Any KZfaqr who waits until next season to finish his review, in order to gather reliable data on extended wear, won't have many viewers for long..... Leading to "high volume" users being conditioned to rotate darned near every month now, never mind once a season...... The latest Asics super marathon shoes, come with a disclaimer that they are built for ONE RACE. $500 for a bit over 2hrs of wear............ New World Record, by a landslide, though; so I suppose it's all about different strokes for different folks. Killian/Nnormal, for environmental reasons supposedly, claim they are trying to change this model. Going about it the way only Killian can: By winning race after race in the exact same pair. While also training in the same pair, for 1000+ miles. From what I have seen, the shoes are very pared down, and likely won't fit everyone. But if they fit you, and your intended use, they're likely to be among the better options. Otherwise, I'd try one of the "Japanese" brands.
