WHICH MODEL SHOULD I CHOOSE?
Bondi - A shoe designed mainly for low speeds. The shoe's construction gives time for the cushioning to work even for a slower running step.

The slightly slower cushioning does also suit a heavy runner or a runner with a heavy running step. Find all Bondi here!

In the heel part, Elevon have a TPU-cup that stabilizes the heel a bit extra. Suitable for you who does not really need Bondi's durability against weight and for you who appreciate a flexible shoe.

HOKA - HISTORY
In 2008, Nicolas (Nico) Mermoud was famous as an ultra runner with, among all, a third place in the 166 km long Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc. Just like every other ultra runner, Nico had problems with extreme muscle fatigue during the ultra runs. He realized that there was a need of shoes which allowed quicker running downhill and which reduce the shocks for the knees during the long races. Nico contacted the former CEO of Salomon, Jean-Luc Diard, and shared his ideas. Without Nico knowing, Jean-Luc had already experimented with soles in running shoes. He was interested in how these could make it easier for runners to run more efficient downhill. The inspiration came from the technology that is successfully used on MTB-tires, skis and tennis rackets. -Mountainbikes float on the terrain with big tires and dampers and skis float on the snow. We wanted to make a shoe that worked in the same way, says Jean-Luc. Both of the entrepreneurs approached the shoe industry with a new perspective without looking back on how running shoes have looked like so far. In 2009, they came out with their shoe brand called Hoka One One (which means time to fly in Maori). Nico and Jean-Luc presented Hoka One One's shoes on UTMB 2009. –”Hoka One One's shoes were a direct hit among ultra runners, we let five runners take out prototypes for an hour of test run and they came back and asked if they could race in them. Then we understood that we were on the right track, says Jean-Luc.
