To each their own, but I'd vote against Hokas.  They provide too much cushion and this is regarded as generally the opposite of what is considered ideal for track and field shoes. Also, in my daughter, they were too soft and both feet pronate in them.

Also, a proper shoe will depend on what distances your daughter is running? Shoe characteristic should be different for short-middle distance event/ training vs longer distance events/ training.

You know there's more than one style of Hoka? There are ones made specifically for running, while others are for cross training, walking, being on your feet all day, etc. [/quote]

Actually I didn't know Hoka had different styles. My kid has small feet, so they had 1 style in her size.  After I saw what they did to her, I won't let her run in them or do too much walking in them. [b]Crocs offer more support than the Hokas we bought.[/b]  [/quote]

Give me a break.

I wouldn't give you a break, because you might be an idiot.

I second that, the Hokas we have are super soft, squishy and unstable. Crocs at least don't make my kids feet pronate inward.

Here is a thread on how Hokas might be causing runners to twist their ankles more: https://www.reddit.com/r/trailrunning/comments/oa0c5z/do_you_roll_your_ankles_more_often_in_hokas/

There are tons of thread popping up about them.  I don't think any serious runners wear them, just the casual yoga pant crowd.

Yes, go to a running store and got your kid fitted. Just stay away from Hokas or any other show excessive padding for kids.

OP probably took her kid to Nordstrom and doesn’t understand why she couldn’t find good running shoes[/quote]
