HOKA Shoe Fitting & GAIT Analysis In-Store

HOKA shoes are known for their cushioning, but choosing the right model still comes down to how you move, what you are training for and how much support you prefer. At Smiths Sports Shoes, our in-store team can help you compare HOKA styles by fit, feel, width, cushioning and purpose.

If you are running on the road, GAIT analysis can help guide whether a softer daily trainer like Clifton or Bondi is the right fit, or whether a stability-focused option such as Arahi better suits the way you move. For trail runners, we’ll talk through grip, protection and terrain when comparing models like Speedgoat or Challenger.

We’ll also look at how the shoe feels underfoot, from rocker shape and cushioning depth to heel hold and toe room, so you can better understand what makes each HOKA model different.

Call into Smiths Sports Shoes whenever suits. No appointment is needed, and our team will help you work through the range so you can leave with a HOKA shoe that feels right.
