UPPER
Material: Engineered mesh
Comfort: Nice and plush!
Breathability: Amazing! Plenty of airflow on a hot day.
Tongue: Semi-gusseted, helping to keep it in place on the top of the foot.
Lockdown: Despite the lacing system being a little sloppy, the overall feel was snug and secure around the foot.
Collar: The new heel flare adds to the secure fit around the heel and the overall lockdown of the shoe.
MIDSOLE
Midsole: The 5mm EVA midsole is very soft, creating a cushioned ride for the legs. I was able to hold a 7.05 per mile (4.24 km) pace in the shoe, but it is better suited for light days on pavement or hard buffed out trails.
OUTSOLE
Material: Rubber adds weight to the shoe, therefore, Hoka, nailed it by having lots of exposed EVA, and only a little rubber through the heel and the forefoot.
