While the ultra-cushioned shoes were originally designed with runners in mind, they now have options to suit almost any activity, from hiking to training. Hoka One One (pronounced ho-kah oh-nay oh-nay) was founded in 2009 by two trail-running enthusiasts, Nicolas Mermoud and Jean-Luc Diard. Here's everything you need to know about the trendy sneaker, plus the trending and expert-loved styles to shop. So we consulted two top experts to get all the details on what makes the shoes such a good pick. And, as it turns out, they're not just a hip shoe to show off around town - they're a favorite of podiatrists, too. Hoka One One's chunky sneakers have been extremely popular in recent years, winding up on the feet of celebrities and seemingly everyone we come into contact with. And we couldn’t help but notice one brand that has been making waves in the shoe industry and popping up everywhere from the gym to the office.
That’s why we’re always searching for the most comfortable and supportive options to carry you through runs, walks, casual outings and just about every activity in between.
A good pair of sneakers can take you far - literally.
