OverviewHOKA was originally designed for running on steep mountains. At first, the company's developers began manufacturing modern off-road running shoes for rugged mountain races in the Alps, Pyrenees, and Dolomites. The design concept of thick padding and wide body is based on the oversized technology that has been successfully applied to pink snowboards, mountain bike wheels, and tennis rackets. In the early stages of the development process, the brand founder considered creating a pull-over style shoe for downhill use only. This type of shoe can be packed and carried on uphill roads or worn on rugged and long downhill roads. But once they create a lightweight work prototype, they know they are not manufacturing technical accessories, but manufacturing real running shoes.
