Leather: is perhaps the best material for the production of footwear - maintains its shape, it is breathable and the list of its positive properties is far from ending.
Textile: The textile upper of the sneakers is lightweight, breathable and comfortable, ideal for everyday wear and sports. It ensures air circulation, keeps feet fresh and adapts to their shape. Often complemented with synthetic or rubber details for durability and support.
Syntetika: The synthetic upper is made of synthetic materials that are lightweight, durable and easy to clean. It provides good protection against moisture and at the same time allows for a comfortable wearing experience.
Gore-tex Invisible Fit: Gore-Tex Invisible Fit technology represents a significant advance in footwear and offers a unique combination of lightweight construction and superior protection.

It provides a durable waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane that is seamlessly integrated into the shoe
EVA: most commonly used as a midsole material, because it has very good shock-absorbing effect, it also excels among other materials in its crack resistance and elegant smooth surface.
CMEVA (Compression molded EVA): CMEVA (Compression Molded Ethyl Vinyl Acetate) is a type of midsole material commonly used in sports footwear. This material is known for its excellent cushioning properties as it compresses and then returns to its original shape, providing constant support and comfort. CMEVA is lighter and offers better shock absorption compared to conventional EVA
SWALLOWTAIL: This innovative design incorporates a beveled heel that creates a wider and flatter surface, which is designed to provide a smoother heel impact when running.

Radical change comes when you're trying to solve a very simple problem. The founders of the Hoka® brand know this. They had a long-term goal of improving their endurance race times by designing a shoe that would go faster and better downhill - but in the process of figuring out how to do that, they unfortunately inadvertently discovered running shoes.
Their new shoes not only helped improve their downhill running but also improved the uphill running experience. And then down again. And up again. It turns out that redesigning a shoe that helps an athlete cover a distance of 100 miles in challenging conditions can help all runners perform brilliantly. While the founders ran trails at night, their day jobs were in gravity sports. They were involved in several innovations in winter sports and cycling - including parabolic skis. Every day they asked the same question: "How do we go even faster?" Their answer was a shoe, which some refused at first. But a few runners welcomed it, tried it out, and those runners started winning races, and those who initially refused quickly became wary. Nowadays, Hoka® is one of the number one running sneakers on the market.
Hoka® running sneakers carry on the vibe of surfing, skiing, cycling, but most importantly, running. So if you're looking for a top running shoe, bet on Hoka®. In our range of running shoes, you'll find both men's and women's Hoka® silhouettes, such as the Clifton Edge or Elevon 2.
