Zažijte Flow ST

Loved the previous experience form. I tried the new flow ST with the new foam and it was too soft for my liking. Felt like I was walking around on marshmallows and my feet couldn’t find stability. Because of this I also feel like the stability pushes up into my arch too aggressively and at the end of the day wearing these my feet were sore. I went and bought the previous version for myself. I’m not into the new really soft foam fad.

After putting around 75-100 miles of running and walking in these over the last month, they've been consistently comfortable and easy to live with. Right away, the lightweight feel stood out, especially on longer days when you're stacking miles and time on feet. They never felt bulky or fatiguing, even late in runs. The EGO P35 foam provides good energy return, the ride feels smooth and natural, whether I'm out for an easy run or just walking around. It doesn't feel mushy, and it doesn't beat up your legs either — kind of a sweet spot. The roomy, foot-shaped toebox has been great for both running and walking. No hot spots, no pressure, and my feet feel relaxed even after long days. The flexible build also helps the shoe disappear on foot, which makes it easy to transition between running and everyday wear. What surprised me most is how well this works as a bridge toward zero-drop shoes. Stack height could be a con for some people. Durability still to be decided. *HOKA gave me this free product to try.

HOKA gave me these shoes free to try and I have been able to try them in the gym for CrossFit, on the treadmill, and also out on the dry pavement. I've worn them to my office job as casual footwear and they are very comfortable. Performed great in all conditions. I'm flat footed so a shoe must have great arch support or my feet will start hurting within 30 minutes. I've worn these to work multiple days for 8-10 hours starlight and had zero foot pain. Extremely comfortable shoes and very pleased with them. Even tested them beyond what they were designed for and took them on a snowy run today. They did great even though not intended for snow. Still had plenty of traction as I stayed on the hard packed road. Honest review: I love them. The HOKA Experience Flow ST excell as a lightweight running shoe for pavement training or racing. Can be worn as a casual all day sneaker or even to the gym.

Shoes were great, not was I was expecting but I actually loved them. I was planning on using this as a distance shoe but instead it turned out to be a shoe I use for shorter, sub 5 mile, runs and a lot of daily use and lifting. I work at a bicycle shop and am on my feet all day at work combined with working out and playing with my dog and such. The combination of a mid cushion shoe and the wide toe box with neutral drop made it comfortable to wear all day and much more visible for lifting too as opposed to overly cushioned shoes or shoes with a lot of drop. Would recommend this shoe to anyone doing a shorter run that likes to incorporate some lifting and cross training into their routine. I found these to be similar to the solstice, with more cushion... the light weight of the shoe was definitely a top feature.

The HOKA Experience Flow ST was a great shoe. I went from having almost numb toes at the end of my runs to no problems at all. The wide toe box and low heel to toe drop that HOKA is known for are a perfect fit for my feet. HOKA has done a great job making a more stabilized feel while running. One thing I would caution runners about is the uppers. They are super light and comfortable on the feet (almost cant even tell they're there), but also a little too flexible to really power through sharp 90 degree turns on sidewalk/asphalt. Hardly been a problem for my running, but something I noticed when I was getting after it.
