Assists the runner's running naturally.
These shoes are positioned as the elite of Hoka's road shoes," he said. They may not be suitable for complete beginners, but I felt they were easy to wear for people with a certain level of running ability. Rather than forcing you to run faster, they naturally assist your running. I also like the vivid coloring and the sharp, sleek form.
You can speed up comfortably.
. the foam material in the midsole has a great balance of softness and resilience, and the carbon plate has just the right amount of springiness. . My feet naturally move forward without using my own strength on each landing, and I can speed up comfortably. Another appeal of these shoes is that they are easier to handle than typical carbon plate-equipped shoes. They are recommended for a wide range of people, from those who run a full marathon in 2.5 to 3 hours to those who aim for a sub-4 marathon. If you are interested in these shoes, please try them on at a store. You will see the difference the moment you put them on.
The shoes were the reason I was able to set a good time.
I am not a fast runner, and I was not comfortable with carbon-equipped shoes. I have worn the previous Rocket X, and to be honest, I felt that I couldn't handle them. But this time, I was able to enjoy the feeling of moving forward with my feet in the shoes, and running was enjoyable and easy. I was surprised at the good time I was able to achieve in the 10 km time trial this time, and I think it was thanks to the shoes. I hope to use these shoes for my next race.
After running, work your legs with recovery sandals.
Fatigue is an inevitable part of running. For a runner who runs habitually, 10 km is not a big distance, but if you run at a reasonably fast pace, damage to your legs is inevitable. After finishing the run, you may want to give your legs some tender care. Hoka has a lineup of recovery sandals perfect for such occasions.
Nakajima and Yamamoto are wearing Hoka's ORA RECOVERY SLIDE 3 recovery sandals. They are slide-type sandals with a sense of openness. The midsole is soft and cushioned to gently heal tired legs. Let's ask them how it feels to wear them.

Relaxing feeling of having your feet wrapped around the floor.
I have been using the previous version of the "Orarika Bally Slide" and found them very useful on my way to and from the trails. This time, the sole structure has been updated, and the comfort is even better. I can relax with the feeling that my feet are wrapped around them.
The softness of the midsole is just right.
The moment you put your feet in, you will feel relaxed and comfortable. They are fluffy but do not sink in too deeply, and the softness of the midsole is just right. The color and design are also cute.
