I recently co-led a group of foreign photographers on a photo tour up north. I noticed a couple of them were wearing HOKA shoes: A lady from the USA, who I learned was a casual runner. Then another guy, from Australia, who is an ultra-marathon runner and used to run competitively around the globe. I got curious about the shoes and asked what they like about them. Both said it was really comfortable, light, and durable. I got interested. So it’s a good thing HOKA was recently launched here in the Philippines.
