The Tracer is the lightest shoe in the Hoka range. It weighs in at nearly 2 ounces lighter than the outstanding [[Hoka Clifton]], but it's also rather less cushioned. I think the Tracer is a good shoe, and while it's not one of the greats like the Clifton, or the [[Asics Gel Hyper Speed]], I recommend it as a worthy contender. The softer cushioning in the heel combined with slightly firmer cushioning in the forefoot may well appeal to runners looking for this combination without the issues of a high-heeled shoe. The main issue with the Tracer is that it has the same shape as the rest of the Hoka range, which is not anatomically correct by any means. It appears rather narrower than other Hokas, but this is an optical illusion. I've rated the Tracer as "Recommended", and I think it has the potential for future versions to be quite outstanding. In the meantime, I'd recommend that you try out to the incredible [[New Balance RC5000‏‎v2RC5000v2]] first, which provides more cushioning but is only just over half the weight of the Tracer. {{H:WhatToLookForInShoes}}
