What is so special about HOKA shoes?

Every pair has a curved "meta-rocker" in its sole, designed to propel you forward comfortably. This unique, first-of-its-kind design makes it feel like you're walking (or running) on literal air, one of many reasons why both avid and novice fitness enthusiasts have gravitated toward the shoe.
