Hooka One One

Took the new Hooka One Ones out in the Rain this afternoon.  Was going to go longer but I have heard stories about these shoes and decided to cut it short planning on going longer tomorrow!  The shoes force a mid foot strike the every so subtlety throw you to your toe.   Not too much bounce and it didn't feel like an increased effort.  Like the downhills ,  sure took the work out of the  quads!  Although I trucked along at a avg 6:00 pace when I picked it up to a 5:30 pace the feel was similar to going much faster ,  rather pleasant.   Felt a wee bit tight in the right toe box but its probably just breaking them in and getting use to tying them.
