Yup, all gone by the time I looked. Even my size. I shall watch for them appearing on eBay with a modest mark-up.

it's a good read that isn't it BG? I had my 1st run in the Hoka Rocket X yesterday, just an hour with a few strides. I found them nicely responsive but very different to a Nike. I'd best describe them as a turbo-charged racing flat given that they felt comparatively flat and very light. I then went out in a 300 mile pair of 4% for my session today and as a result I'm even more impressed with the Hoka. Recommend. |

I "enjoyed" the comments after the article too, a fair few of which seemed to suggest the only fair approach was to run barefoot, citing Zola Budd - never mind the fact she only competed over a few thousand metres on a fairly forgiving track. I'd love to see those commenters race a marathon on city tarmac barefoot...

I persevered with the comments to the end too, AJLB. Bless 'em, so many people being wrong on the internet. Zola Budd, indeed, and of course Pheidippides and Born to Run.

WW, do you reckon the Hoka Rocket X would enable you to shave some decent time off a half marathon, say, by comparison with the kind of shoes you might have worn before the advent of the Nike 4%?
