These renewed trail running shoes Hoka One One Torrent 2 present as a guarantee that its improvements have taken into account the main demands of trail runners of the Hoka Team with recognized world-class athletes. The main hallmarks of the American firm maintain their main role: lightness, agility and dynamism in each step. These characteristics make this Hoka silhouette one of the alternatives to be considered as a training shoe, but also for long-distance competitions, such as ultramarathons, among other events.
This combination of lightness, traction and dynamic cushioning in these Hoka One One Torrent 2 make these trail running shoes among the most suitable options for running with protection on multiple terrains, and always with the premise of running faster.
What is new in this second interaction of the Torrent by Hoke One One is focused on the upper. Here, the Torrent 2 implements a new engineered mesh with overlays to eliminate seams, and in this way, the model achieves a measured balance between level of breathability and support to ensure a higher degree of protection in each stride.
The midsole continues to feature Hokas innovative Profly technology. A detail that guarantees a first-class cushioning capacity, since it softens the impact in the landing phase, but is also capable of favoring a more dynamic, but also firm, take-off phase.
As for the outsole, there is also little variation with respect to the original version of the Hoka One One Torrent. Thus, the sticky rubber compound is placed in the most strategic points of the shoe, ensuring a more effective and durable grip on different surfaces in trial territory.
In summary, these are the strongest points of these Hoka One One Torrent 2 in the breakdown of the different strategic points of the shoe: midsole, outsole and upper, which we will see below:
In the chapter on technical specifications, it should be noted that this second version of the Hoka One One Torrent has different geometries in its male and female versions. That is, their heights are different for men and women(men: 21mm in heel and 16mm in forefoot; and for men: 23mm in heel and 18mm in forefoot), although both maintain a 5drop.
As for their weights, the men's model weighs about 264 grams, approximately. While the women's running shoe is around 215 grams. A clue from which you can extract that a shoe is really light, and that it is focused on accelerating the pace no matter the terrain where you run.
