I'm not surprised to see this article on the rise of "maximalist" running shoes. I'd argue that Hokas aren't really "maximalist" since they're not motion control shoes, but they do have a lot of cushion.

people need to get over themselves
if minimal running works for you....thats great
if running in regular shoes works best for you.....good for you
if being a vegan works well for you....nice
if eating meat makes you run well.....grats
i mean really. stop with the attitudes that you all know whats best for every other person. if the same thing worked for everyone.........we'd have found that out by now.
I dunno dawg .. I like the cushioning of Hoka shoes (I have a pair of Cliftons) but I hate that I'm so far off the ground. I do feel that, on uneven surfaces, it's far easier to turn an ankle in those. I can't understand how Hokas have been so popular with trail and ultra runners. I only use the Cliftons for the road and use traditional shoes and sometimes even minimal shoes for trails.
My god!! That extra 1 and 1/8 inch I am off the ground in my Clifton's frightened me into such a panic, I contracted the acrophobia virus. I don't mind the quarantine though. I've been putting massive miles in on the treadmill. Since I am basically just jumping up and down as the belt goes under me, I don't count it as real mileage. I may be the first person to wear out a pair of Cliftons without actually running in them.
