Why you should trust us

We purchase all the shoes we review at retail with our own money, then we run in them for at least 50 miles. We don't receive free samples from companies and provide only expert, unbiased opinions.

Hoka One One (hint: it's pronounced oh-nay oh-nay, it comes from Maori language and it means something like "to fly") was founded in 2009 in France by two former Salomon employees.

The company - now headquartered in California - experienced tremendous growth in less than ten years.

Just out of curiosity, have a look at this chart with the popularity of Hoka One One searches in Google.
