I have recently bought a pair of Hoke One One Stinson Evo’s These are trail specific versions of my Stinson B’s and have a few noticable differences. They are a nice bright green/yellow colour with blue bits which I actually really like.
They have speed laces which work really well and tuck away nicely into a small elastic flap. The tread depth is much deeper that the Stinson B so it works better in mud and hopefully will help with wear rates.
Due to previous wear on my ostinson B and early signs of wear on these I will try to slow the wear down early with some Shoe Goo to try to add some resistance to early wear. We will see how that goes.
First impressions: I really like these ones, they are comfy and just as fast as my B’s but do feel a little stiffer underfoot. They have tuning holes in the side apparently to drill into to adjust the flex and cusioning but I will leave that alone. I have worn these only on 3 runs including a road 10k and they were great. I reall like them its just a shame about the price and possible wear issues as they seem to love the miles put on them. I will post more after I have worn them at GUCR to test them on a proper long one.
Update: These shoes have finally given up the ghost and worn out. The shoe goo worked really well and kept the sole alive and eventually they split along the flex point where the sole and upper join. They had done over 550 miles and I consider that a good innings for a shoe.
