HOKA has never been about minimalist footwear—their reputation was earned through ultra-cushioned trail runners honed on the technical trails of the French Alps. The Stinson has always been a platform that focussed on maximum stack and cushion for ultimate control and the Stinson 7 continues that tradition.

Built on a super-thick 42mm heel stack, the 5mm drop means you've still got a whopping 37mm under the forefoot. Within that high-profile EVA sole unit is a two-part construction featuring HOKA's H-Frame™ system for stability, nestled atop a Deep Active Foot Frame™. Traction is provided by 4mm Durabrasion rubber lugs, strategically placed for maximum grip whilst avoiding unnecessary weight.

The jacquard mesh uppers are made more durable by the camouflage patterned rubber overlays applied to the toe cap and heel, which helps to reduce tear and abrasion risk.
