If you want max comfort on the trails, you'll want the HOKA Speedgoat. With a nearly 40 mm stack, the Speedgoat is the most cushioned shoe in HOKA's trail line, making easy work of long, arduous trail runs. With that said, while the HOKA Speedgoats offer more cushioning and comfort, the HOKA Challenger provides a high amount in a package that's an ounce lighter – which is pretty appealing. Many runners find that the Challenger offers a nice sweet spot between too firm and too soft for road and trail running, according to the experts at Running Warehouse.

The HOKA Bondi 7 is the most cushioned road shoe in the lineup, offering a smooth, balanced ride over any distance. The Bondi 7 is updated with a plush collar and is made from ultra-soft memory foam designed to accommodate a narrower heel.

The HOKA Clifton 8 offers the perfect combination of soft and light, according to HOKA. The newest incarnation is crafted with a lighter, more responsive midsole.

The HOKA Mach 5 is the result of HOKA's Mach 4 and Mach Supersonic running shoes. The HOKA Mach 5 is built to be a pavement pounder aimed at performance. The Mach 5 delivers a snappier ride than its predecessors, offering a lightweight, responsive foam underfoot and rubberised EVA below.

The HOKA Arahi 6 are surprisingly light for a stability shoe that offers maximal cushioning and minimal weight. The Arahi 6 have been refined with a pull tab and mesh upper with zones of breathability – making them ideal for a wide range of runners.
