I am in the market for a new pair of shoes over the next couple of months. I wear NB 1080s now and have done for the past 3 generations. I like them and they are the "do nothing" option.
Hokas look good and have similar specs as 1080s. I want to try them but the force of inertia will make it hard to change from NB. The shoes are for regular short-mid distance walking and all-around.
I want to start running again, so the the shoes need to be capable if I am successful with running. I stopped running 8 years ago with significant hip pain, I think it is trochanteric bursitis. I tried a few 1/4 mile and 1/2 mile runs this spring and it seemed to go well. Some weight loss combined better running technique and hip strengthening from swimming and cycling may be creating a positive scenario for a return to running.
