=The Hoka Advantages=
# You're probably best staying with the minimalist footwear, though it may be worth trying out a pair of Hokas.
I'd suggest getting your shoes from somewhere with free shipping both ways, like [http://www.zappos.com/ Zappos], who also have one of the best selections of Hoka shoes I've found. (While [http://www.roadrunnersports.com/ Road Runner Sports] has the advantage of letting you run in shoes and still return them for an exchange, they don't stock Hokas.)
=Comparison of the Shoes in the Hoka Style ComparisonRange=Below are my top picks for Hokas – for more details For a comparison of the Hoka range, see my the [[Shoes| review of the best running shoes]].{| class="wikitable"!
