Stinson ATR 7

Hoka Mafate speed 4 homer, but recently moved to the Hoka Stinson 7 and they are amazing. I plan on having the Mafate’s for more mild terrain and the Stinson’s for more technical trails.

The stinsons are downright treacherous. They’re really not meant for trail running IMO, maybe hiking. My first run in them I sprained my ankle badly as well and it’s been an issue ever since. Once you get one sprain, re-spraining is so easy! I’d strongly recommend getting some different shoes. If you’re sticking with hoka, the mafate and speedgoats are great

Stinson 7. Most would write them off but for me they are perfect for long days on groomed backpacking trails, lots of toe splay for a hoka, midfoot lockdown and they simply slip on due to the stiff heel counter. I don’t have a problem with their large footprint in technical terrain and they feels more stable than a speedgoat. The outsole suitability and durability really depends on the trail but i got 800k out of them before the outsole got a little sketchy on damp rock.

Not to add choices but the Gaviota 7 has the comfort of the Bondi but the H frame in the shoe (you can't feel it) but it helps on surfaces where your foot may pronate due to uneven surfaces or physical fatigue after a long day on your feet. It also has a more generous toe box. Gaviota 7 is pricy but I was able to get $20 off from Hoka directly by joining their membership group on the web site. Stinson 7 is another shoe with the H frame. I have a pair of these that I use for Hiking when I'm on an unpaved trail. Hoka gives you a 60 day free return privilege if you are a group member.

I have a funky shaped foot with a super long index toe and low lateral malleolus. For my trail runners I use the Hoka Stinson 7 with a gel heel cup. ASICS are also a great option that have lots of padding and a wider toe box.
