The Stinson B from Hoka OneOne may be their most exciting shoe released to date- versatile for a wide spectrum of runners and walkers of all abilities that could be a game changer for many people.
It combines the best features of its sister shoes- the revolutionary very light-weight racer/trainer model, the Bondi B, and the trail model designed to excel on rough, technical surfaces encountered during ultra trail races, the Mafate. This creates a superior fitting, versatile shoe at home on any type of running surface with a level of responsive cushioning, stability, injury prevention and efficiency that far exceeds anything else on the market.

Ideal for most runners and triathletes as the oversized midsole absorbs much more stress on the legs over longer distances, on road or off.
For those who want to really enjoy their running and walking, these shoes may be the ticket! They may well be the technical breakthrough in everyday trainers that help significantly to extend running careers.
How it Works:
- Recent breakthroughs in materials technology allow for 2.5 to 3 times the usual amount of ultra lightweight resilient foam to be utilized in the patent pending midsole, which is scientifically designed with a midsole geometry engineered to provide far superior biomechanical efficiency, cushioning, responsiveness and performance.
- When running or walking, the feather-light EVA midsole compresses to providing excellent shock absorption- it springs back under the forefoot for increased acceleration and propulsion.
- The outsole of the Stinson features a rubber compound well suited to all kinds of surfaces, either on road or off.
- Using a lower ramp angle from heel to toe of only 4mm and a precisely engineered rockered forefoot and rearfoot, the midsole encourages the wearer to move in a manner similar to the way a barefoot runner does on soft surfaces. This low ramp angle also allows for tremendous confidence running downhill, engaging the glutes and lower back, without isolating the quads as most traditional running shoes tend to do.
- Despite the shoes being drastically more cushioned than virtually anything else on the market, because it has approximately 50% more surface area in contact with the ground and a midsole that positions the foot deeply recessed into it, the shoe provides lateral stability and protection on a level similar to many traditional stability running shoes without any midsole posting.
- The oversize midsole is designed to maximize muscle efficiency through the reduction of stress on all muscles and joints, regardless of surface or distance.
