Hit the trails with the Hoka One One Zinal shoe. Designed for maximum performance and minimum weight, it will exceed your expectations over short distances.
Discover its floating sensation thanks to the Profly dual-density midsole. Particularly responsive, it absorbs impacts effectively and propels you forward at full speed. The curved profile facilitates smooth strides and eases transitions for more dynamism.
Made from recycled materials, the ultra-light mesh upper provides ideal ventilation for your extended efforts. The moulded EVA heel ensures a reliable fit and long-lasting comfort.
The Vibram Mega-Grip Litebase outsole ensures grip and agility on technical terrain. Its 4-mm cleats promise powerful traction and grip on wet or dry ground.
The gusseted tongue prevents debris from getting in when you're hurtling down rough paths, while the reinforcement at the toes protects you from obstacles.

Curved Sole Profile Midfoot
The midsole's curved profile under the metas, designed with a transition zone placed behind the metatarsal heads. Promotes a smoother stride and ensures a faster transition at the meta.
-
Profly
This cushioning provides more flexibility at the heel to absorb shocks and more firmness at the forefoot for propulsion and energy return.

Vibram Litebase Megagrip
Vibram Litebase Megagrip is an innovative technology designed to significantly reduce the weight of the sole by decreasing the thickness of the rubber, while maintaining the same performance.
Vibram Litebase Megagrip allows for a reduction of about 40 to 50% in thickness, from 1.7 mm to 0.5 / 0.9 mm, depending on the type of sole, resulting in a reduction in tread weight of 25 to 30%.
This reduction in thickness does not affect the performance of the sole nor the risk of laceration. The result is a very lightweight sole with patterns identical to those of a traditional Vibram Megagrip sole, and thus with the same characteristics of traction, durability, and wear resistance.
