If you like hoka’s and they suit your feet then stay in their world! Every European town has a good running shop now coz everyone is doing marathons these days. Ask them to do gait analysis and get on a treadmill with them. Makes a big difference!

Hoka or Salomon

That's the look of a runner who actually puts in the real mileage! 🔥 If you want to stick with that plush Hoka feel on the pavement, the Clifton line is a no brainer. If you want something faster, look into Saucony.

Plantar fasciitis is no picnic. Take care of your feet.

Nah, there are still miles left in them. 🤙

Second what Joe said. Go to a store with a treadmill.

Salomon

Vibram's or other wide barefoot running shoes seem your style. I am wondering if barefoot makes your toes sprawl more than most?! :-)

Altra if you like zero drop and wider toe box: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/tetragrammaton-with-rick-rubin/id1671669052?i=1000653425860

flux has been popular with my clients

Recently discovered https://bahe.co/ and they are wide toe box + grounding. I use their Adapt model for walks and their Revive model for runs. Been really happy with them so far.

I wear these things called feet

That is proof of work 😉

Long runs or interval/sprinting?

You’re definitely a bitcoiner 👌
