Thank you for the video! Very interesting information!

[@PracticalHealthNow]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Manzinger-rd3zj]

I was a retro Jordan kind of guy but I had switched to ultraboost and now a Hoka guy I love them

[@PracticalHealthNow]

Yeah, Hoka identified the ultra-cushion trend and has heavily benefited from it!

[@user-gb8jo9wt1z]

Thanks for the great information and do more videos 😊

[@PracticalHealthNow]

Thank you! Will do :)

[@tj5511]

Can you do the history of Brooks, please? Your content is easy to digest.

[@PracticalHealthNow]

Thank you! I am busy these days, not sure that I'll have time to do that, let me see.

[@MrAndrsi]

Cool info! You should make more videos about different running shoes specs!

[@PracticalHealthNow]

Thank you, more to come!

There’s one more secret you didn’t mention here in your nice video. What are the numbers for on the sides of all HOKA shoes? Is it a secret code for something? And thanks again for the brilliant video.

[@dcgunman]

I bought my first pair 1 year ago. I was 230lbs. After walking 1-1 1/2 hour everyday with Bondi 8 and change of life diet I now weigh 170lbs. I just bought 2 new pairs of Bondi 8. I’m a firm believer in Hokas after wearing New Balance my entire life. I just turned 64 and loving life more than ever. Cheers!

[@PracticalHealthNow]

Thank you! And you brought up a good question and I've thought about that. I thought it's just a version of shoes - Bondi 6, then 7, then 8 and so on. Like iPhone -12, 13, 14, 15. No?

[@KRAFTiMAC]

I learned something new. Thank you. I’ve been considering “rucking” over running. My girlfriend bought me a 5.11 Tactical Rush 12-I really like it. I put some cast iron weights in the pack and go for a brisk ruck. What are your thoughts on rucking?

[@PracticalHealthNow]

I don't have that much experience with "rucking" myself, so I need to rely on other people's opinion. And it looks like people, specially military people, like it!

[@brenthair1228]

why do their soles fall apart?

[@PracticalHealthNow]

Brent, I see two options - either their shoes are poorly manufactured, or you are a tough runner :)

[@ytv6770]

I’ve only ever seen pencil thin skinnies wear Hokas. The biggos all wear sketchers or open toed sandals

[@PracticalHealthNow]

I haven't paid attention to that, it's funny :)

[@urgirljenn]

Hoka hurt my ankle!!!

[@PracticalHealthNow]

Interesting! Hoka shoes are supposed to save ankles. They might hurt knees and back, but not ankles. Do your ankles hurt you when you run in Hoka, other shoes are good for you?

[@erinmalette7276]

It’s the lower drop! Increases the work of the ankle.

[@motodrummer6132]

There are only two shoe brands in the world. HOKA and others.. 😂😂
