About this deal
The OOFOS clog is blissfully comfortable and great if you find yourself getting sore knees or lower back pain if you stand for long periods. The Sonic Pro 2 is one of the company’s latest models that’s made to be one of the softest, most cushioning shoes by the brand, and it features a breathable engineered mesh upper with synthetic overlays, a padded heel locking system that prevents any type of movement within the shoe, as well as a high level of support for those runners who tend to moderately or severely overpronate.
But this Adrenaline 22 model is just that little bit more structured, especially under my arches, and would be a great choice for everyday mileage.Perforations in the insole helped to stop the insoles from smelling and prevented our feet from overheating. These shoes also have a removable cushioned insole that you can replace with your own custom orthotics. The rearfoot and forefoot gel is responsive and provides good shock absorption, although it’s not at the plush end of cushioning. A reasonable amount of cushioning can benefit all runners — but you want to make sure it also comes with support.
We used insoles from across the market over the course of a month to see how they performed during long hikes (at least three hours), everyday activities and running. The difference between road and trail runners is quite simple - it’s located in the outsole, with road runners being made with less traction, more lightweight materials, and a lower profile. The goal is to combine soft cushioning with a powerful bounceback, and we found that the shoe delivered.
Stability - because trails are usually uneven and unpredictable, you will need a shoe that’ll allow you to get a decent footing in less than ideal conditions. Austin, these hybrid Hoka Challenger 7 shoes perform just as well off-road as they do on the pavement.

Also, the 'S' will begin at the outside lateral heel and will end at the great toe area (the ball of the foot).
