First Look: This downhill trail specialist isn’t an April Fools Joke.
Limited usefulnessOther media outlets are reporting that this is the biggest running shoe on the market, as if that’s a special selling point. Or how it’s unsafe to wear while driving a car.I’m here to tell you that it’s also completely unnecessary, overpriced, and destined to be used by only a small number of people who want to run as fast as possible down ski slopes. But, that’s all part of its charm. Here’s why.You’re really only going to strap on the TenNine if you plan to hammer downhill.
That foam is super soft, squishy EVA—like you find under other beefy Hoka models—designed to completely swallow trail obstacles as you stomp over them. Unlike other shoes that have rock plates to keep you from bruising your sole, Hoka’s layer of foam is so thick that rocks never make it to your bony bits, generally.To be fair, I’ve had very little time to test this shoe. Typically we enlist our wear-test team of more than 300 runners to fully evaluate shoes, but we received one pair.
Unlike most shoes, which have a beveled heel—it curves upward where you might otherwise heel strike to smooth your landing—the TenNine’s sole actually sticks straight back, so it sits flush on the ground. It was most noticeable whenever we were cruising smooth dirt trails along flat trails. As I made heel contact, I could feel the extra foam pushing my foot down onto the soil.
