I ordered these a few months ago at a deep discount. Just tried them out today.
I've been running on Brooks Glycerins for the past 4 months or so and love them.
At first the Hokas felt nice and cushy, but pretty quickly all I could feel was that the balls of my feet were burning hot. They fit length-wise, but I wonder if the bend at the ball of my foot was a bit off. Initially I felt the heel part on my Achilles tendon, but this wasn't a problem. Overall, except for the heat, they were OK comfort-wise, but I prefer the Glycerins.
I'll have to try the Hokas when it's cooler and/or with different socks.

Did you order them on line without trying them? They seem to be all the rage but I hear good and bad.. I too am a glycerin wearer, but I was told recently I need something with me heel.. I just got a new pair of glycerins but will prob wait.. Was recommended maybe saucony

Where I live, we have no idea about running fashions; so few runners here. I can only dream about a club and running partners other than DH.

Where are you? I've mainly been running with my daughter lately.. Not sure what that has to do with shoes other than what I see people wearing?

I did and I forget from where. I read a lot of good reviews at the time. They were inexpensive enough marked down that I figured I could wear them as knock-arounds at worst.
I'll alternate them for running, but wouldn't buy again.
The hot feet thing was just strange, though.
Oh, and I have never run anything but solo. No idea if it would be good or bad for me. I'm used to running alone and don't mind it at all. I have a difficult time imagining running with someone.

Running with others is good and bad... It's hard to find people compatible pace wise but definitely good motivation for long runs... Finding a good running partner is probably as hard as finding a good significant other

I have no idea what is all the rage, because there are so few runners here. That is what I meant. Western Mass/Upstate NY area, very rural.

I have been wearing the Hoka Bondi Bs for over three years, took about 50 miles to get used to them initially. I tied Altras recently and my foot hit funny and they just weren't for me. The next one I my try is the Sketchers GO Ultra.

Some shoes give me hot spots under the ball of my foot. If I keep running after the burning starts I get one hell of a blister.
