Sizing Recommendations:
- Hoka Sizing:
- Typically accurate to size for those familiar with Brooks, ASICS, or New Balance.
- For comfort, it is recommended to size up half a size to a full size from regular casual shoe sizes.
- Hoka tends to run narrow; if you prefer extra room, consider a wide version (2E for men, D for women).
- ASICS Sizing:
- Runs half a size small compared to Hoka. It is recommended to size up by half a size for a better fit.
- Extra room for toes is recommended, about a thumb’s width between the longest toe and the front of the shoe.
- ASICS GEL technology absorbs shock and fits snugly, particularly in the heel and midfoot.
Key Differences:
- Fit:
- Hoka: Slightly wider in the forefoot, known for its maximal shoe design, which provides more cushioning.
- ASICS: This shoe has a more narrow fit, especially around the heel and midsole. It is known for its GEL technology, which enhances support and shock absorption.
- Durability:
- Hoka often lasts longer than ASICS, likely due to the maximal design and use on less abrasive surfaces like trails.
- Stability:
- Hoka: Designed entirely with stability in mind, featuring a wide stable platform and cushioned heel system.
- ASICS: Stability through Duomax midsole system and external heel clutch for natural foot movement during running.
