I wear their trail shoes. They do put you higher off the ground with all that loft, and that theoretically cranks up the leverage in an ankle roll situation, making it more likely that you would suffer damage if you make a misstep. But in practice, I find that after you get used to running on top of all that cushion, the shoes tend to do fine on uneven surfaces. Obstacles that would throw you off balance in shoes with a harder ride are just enveloped and neutralized. I like 'em.
I have no idea who this guy is, it seems he's in hokas
He seems like the real deal. Doesn't mean Hokas will work for you, but probably worth a try.
He's Sage Canaday, I googled. Five hours for a Presi traverse, the day after racing the auto road, is quite impressive.
I'll check to see if the 30 day guarantee is available through retailers and not just Hoka online. I'd love to give them a try to see what all the fuss is about. I'll never know until I do!
I wear Earth negative heel shoes outside of running. My heel sits lower than the forefoot and this keeps the achilles stretched and really helps tremendously in preventing PF for me. And massage.
