The latest version of the Stinson has evolved to become almost identical to the latest version of the [[Hoka Bondi]]. It's not clear to me why Hoka would produce two shoes that are so similar, but I suspect this is part of a wider problem that Hoka has with its range. It seems that as Hoka has become more popular they have created shoes without any clear strategy. The good news is that the update from the earlier Stinson Evo Low has produced a slightly lighter and slightly better cushioned shoe. While the Stinson is a little heavier than the Bondi, it has a better outsole that should wear more evenly. While it's close, I think I prefer the Stinson over the Bondi. However, I much prefer the [[Hoka Clifton]] over either shoe, as it has nearly as much cushioning and is much lighter.

The [http://www.zappos.com/hoka-stinson Stinson] is available as a road (Tarmac) or trail version, and the trail version has an outsole that is more aggressive than the road version, though I've found the trail version is quite happy on roads. The lugs on the outsole do make a little more noise on asphalt, but not enough to be a problem. The Stinson is slightly heavier and thicker than the Bondi, but not by much. There has been a 'Stinson Evo Low' which is a thinner version that I rather liked, but I've not seen it for sale for a while. The Stinson can be considered part way between the [[Hoka Bondi]] and the [[Hoka Mafate]] in terms of thickness and weight.

* '''Why you'd buy it'''. My top [[Minimax]] shoe is the [[Hoka Clifton]], but the Stinson Lite is slightly better cushioned, though it's also quite a bit heavier. I'd recommend the Stinson over the Bondi if this extra bit of cushioning is worth the weight to you.

* '''Cushioning'''. The Stinson is one of the best cushioned shoes available, and is slightly softer than the [[Altra Olympus]] or Clifton.

The latest incarnations of the Stinson, the [[Hoka Bondi]] and the [[Hoka Mafate]] all have surprisingly similar levels of cushioning.

* '''Drop'''. The Stinson has about s 5mm drop, which is only about half the drop of a traditional running shoe and I typically don't have any issues.
 +
* '''Structure'''. The midsole is a single type of foam, so there's nothing to interfere with the natural movement of the foot.
 +
* '''Flexibility'''. The Stinson is pretty inflexible, though the cushioning offsets this a little.
 +
* '''Outsole'''. The Stinson has harder rubber covering virtually the entire contact patch, so it doesn't have the uneven wear that I've found with the Bondi.
 +
* '''Shape'''. The Stinson has the typical Hoka shape, with a tight, narrow toe box. The toe box is so bad that I've noticed a distinctive pattern of blisters from Hokas when I'm working blister repair at aid stations. I believe it is critical to [[Shoe Modifications| cut open the toe box of any Hokas]].
 +
* '''Upper'''. The upper is thin, with quite a bit of mesh for breathability, but there is no cushioning and there are cutouts in the reinforcement that could cause friction. The padding around the ankle opening is less I'd like in a [[Minimax]] shoe, but it's adequate.
 +
* '''Tongue'''. The Bondi has a classic tongue rather than a tongue-less sock style of upper. The tongue is unpadded, so watch out for problems from the laces pressing on the top of the foot.
 +
* '''Lacing'''. The Stinson Lite has a "speed lacing" system that uses fine laces and a locking system, but they include traditional round laces as well. I generally prefer the traditional laces as it can be tricky to get the tension right with the "speed lacing" system. Like many shoes in the Hoka range, the Stinson Lite has elastic straps that pull the sides together even if the laces are loose, but it's easy to cut these elastic straps off.
 +
* '''Heel counter'''. The Stinson Lite has a mild heel counter with no strongly defined edges, so it should not cause a problem. The heel counter comes as far up the back of the heel as is normal for a running shoe.

Revision as of 16:32, 21 February 2015

The latest version of the Stinson has evolved to become almost identical to the latest version of the Hoka Bondi. It's not clear to me why Hoka would produce two shoes that are so similar, but I suspect this is part of a wider problem that Hoka has with its range. It seems that as Hoka has become more popular they have created shoes without any clear strategy. The good news is that the update from the earlier Stinson Evo Low has produced a slightly lighter and slightly better cushioned shoe. While the Stinson is a little heavier than the Bondi, it has a better outsole that should wear more evenly. While it's close, I think I prefer the Stinson over the Bondi. However, I much prefer the Hoka Clifton over either shoe, as it has nearly as much cushioning and is much lighter.

1 Characteristics

  • Why you'd buy it. My top Minimax shoe is the Hoka Clifton, but the Stinson Lite is slightly better cushioned, though it's also quite a bit heavier. I'd recommend the Stinson over the Bondi if this extra bit of cushioning is worth the weight to you.
  • Cushioning. The Stinson is one of the best cushioned shoes available, and is slightly softer than the Altra Olympus or Clifton. While it's not as thick as it looks on the outside, it is much thicker than a traditional running shoe. The latest incarnations of the Stinson, the Hoka Bondi and the Hoka Mafate all have surprisingly similar levels of cushioning.
  • Drop. The Stinson has about s 5mm drop, which is only about half the drop of a traditional running shoe and I typically don't have any issues.
  • Structure. The midsole is a single type of foam, so there's nothing to interfere with the natural movement of the foot.
  • Flexibility. The Stinson is pretty inflexible, though the cushioning offsets this a little.
  • Outsole. The Stinson has harder rubber covering virtually the entire contact patch, so it doesn't have the uneven wear that I've found with the Bondi.
  • Shape. The Stinson has the typical Hoka shape, with a tight, narrow toe box. The toe box is so bad that I've noticed a distinctive pattern of blisters from Hokas when I'm working blister repair at aid stations. I believe it is critical to cut open the toe box of any Hokas.
  • Upper. The upper is thin, with quite a bit of mesh for breathability, but there is no cushioning and there are cutouts in the reinforcement that could cause friction. The padding around the ankle opening is less I'd like in a Minimax shoe, but it's adequate.
  • Tongue. The Bondi has a classic tongue rather than a tongue-less sock style of upper. The tongue is unpadded, so watch out for problems from the laces pressing on the top of the foot.
  • Lacing. The Stinson Lite has a "speed lacing" system that uses fine laces and a locking system, but they include traditional round laces as well. I generally prefer the traditional laces as it can be tricky to get the tension right with the "speed lacing" system. Like many shoes in the Hoka range, the Stinson Lite has elastic straps that pull the sides together even if the laces are loose, but it's easy to cut these elastic straps off.

This review was made possible by readers like you buying products via my links. I buy all the products I review through normal retail channels, which allows me to create unbiased reviews free from the influence of reciprocity, or the need to keep vendors happy. It also ensures I don't get "reviewer specials" that are better than the retail versions.


2 Cushioning and Shoes

It's intuitively obvious that the cushioning in a shoe will reduce the impact on your body when running. However, The Science of Running Shoes indicates that the reality is rather more complex. While slight cushioning may reduce the effort needed to run by improving your Running Economy, most scientific research indicates that more cushioning does further improve Running Economy. In addition, cushioning does not generally reduce impact and may actually increase it. This is counterintuitive, but is likely to be due to the way a runners mind and body adapts to softer cushioning. Unfortunately, the scientific evidence is far from complete and it's hard to give clear recommendations. I believe that some runners will prefer more cushioning, while others prefer less, and typically those running further have a fondness for greater cushioning. I also believe that a shoe should be as light as possible, and a shoe should justify its weight with the cushioning it provides. My advice is to decide what level of cushioning you're looking for, and then find the lightest shoes that also fit well and are comfortable.

3 Visualizing the Attributes of the Hoka Stinson

4 Compared with the Hoka Clifton

The Hoka Clifton seems like it's an evolution of earlier Hokas, and I prefer the Clifton. The Clifton has nearly as much cushioning, but is far lighter.

5 Compared with Altra Olympus

The Altra Olympus is a competitor for the Hoka range, and I believe it represents a better shoe. The Olympus has a slightly thinner sole, but its toe box is shaped for the human foot, and it's zero drop. Overall, I prefer the Olympus to the Bondi.

7 A Comparison with other Recommended Shoes

trophy-winner.jpg

If you're looking for "the best of the best" running shoe, here are my top picks. Of course, the answer will depend a little on what you're looking for, so I have recommendations for various categories.

  • Best All Round Shoe. The Altra Escalante is my current all-round favorite. It has plenty of cushioning for its weight, it has a very springy midsole, it lasts well, and it has a shape that's closer to the shape of a human foot than most shoes. It's a great shoe for any runner, including those Starting to run. It's also a fairly easy shoe to find due to its popularity.
  • Best Maximalist Shoe: If you want something massively cushioned, then I'd recommend the Saucony Kinvara 8. It's remarkably light and remarkably cushioned, beating Hoka at their own game.
  • Best Optimal Shoe: For those looking to trade cushioning for speed, the Nike Zoom Streak LT 3 was my top pick, but the latest version (LT 4) falls short of it's predecessor. There are lots of great optimal running shoes, which provide just enough cushioning with light weight and minimal frills, but all have their weak spots. Probably the best option at the moment is the Altra Vanish-R, which offers great cushioning for just over 5oz/150g.
  • Fastest Shoe: If you really want speed, then check out the Nike Vaporfly 4%. It's light, massively cushioned, and has a carbon fiber plate. Nothing comes close, not even the now defunct New Balance RC5000‏‎ or New Balance RC5000v2‏‎. There are a number of caveats; it's really expensive, it's really hard to find, and there's a significant injury risk.
  • Best Minimalist Shoe: Merrell Trail Glove. I recommend the trail glove for road running in spite of the 'trail' moniker. It's not a fast shoe by any means, but it's comfortable and will last well.
  • All Terrain Shoe. For trail running, I've become a fan of Altra, and I think their best shoe is the the Altra Timp, though the Altra Lone Peak is really close.
  • Honorable Mention: It's not really a running shoe, but the Vivobarefoot Ra is comfortable, minimalist and can more or less pass as a dress shoe. I've worn mine to weddings with a suit and they've not looked out of place. You can run in the Ra, but the leather means it doesn't breathe well.

For a more detailed on running shoes see the Recommendations for Best Running Shoes. This table lists the key attributes of What to Look for in Running Shoes. For more detailed information, on the shoes see detailed shoe comparison.
