Here at The Edge, we have an excellent range of running shoes from top brands such as Puma and Hoka, and we love the variety of styles and designs. We know that the right shoes can make all the difference to your running habits and to the health of your feet, and we can help you to find the running clothing, shoes and accessories you need.
Hoka Running Shoes
Hoka running shoes are a popular choice with runners, and the Hoka range includes bold, colourful designs for men and women. Making the most of innovative sporting technology, Hoka designs incorporate a new premium midsole and balanced cushioning to improve performance and comfort at the same time.
Hoka originated in France in 2009, with its founders committed to creating a better-performing running shoe. The Hoka models are created to give you superior performance on the trails and on the track, and we simply adore the attention to detail that blends advanced materials with eye-catching colours and styles. Let’s take a look at our favourite Hoka running shoes for men and Hoka running shoes for women.
We love:
- Women’s Speedgoat 6. If you’re keen to get out on the trails, the Speedgoat is the solution you’re looking for. With advanced cushioning and aggressive traction, these ultralight shoes are perfect for running on challenging surfaces and are designed to protect your feet in all weather conditions. This new model is refined with a breathable woven textile upper and a foot-hugging internal chassis, and it features a revised lug orientation that is inspired by the hoof of a goat – hence the memorable name!
- Men’s Clifton 9 GTX. The Hoka Clifton 9 GTX is a groundbreaking design that delivers the cushioning and support you need for a smooth ride. It features GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology to keep your feet dry and comfortable, as well as weather-ready traction pods for a secure grip. The 360-degree reflectivity is a great choice for enhanced visibility in low light conditions, and if you’re road running, these may just be exactly what you need.
- Women’s Bondi 9. Whether you’re new to running or an old hand, you’ll be impressed with the plushness of the Hoka Bondi 9, with supercritical EVA foam for soft, energetic cushioning and an extra 2mm stack height for extra support and durability. Runners are drawn to this shoe for the gorgeous design, but they stay for the high-quality engineering. We love the 3D moulded collar that offers a premium fit, and the wide platform for the natural stability you need.
- Men’s Arahi. The colours in the Hoka range are something else, and we love the Hoka Men’s Arahi 8, which offers the ultimate in stability. If you’ve tried stability shoes before, you’ll be blown away by the difference from this carefully crafted design, which prioritises comfort and combats over-pronation at the same time. It features enhanced H-frame technology and unprecedented cushioning, with a double jacquard mesh and dual density compression moulded EVA, so you have the style and the comfort you need to make running a pleasure all year round.
Puma Running Shoes
Puma running shoes are a favourite with many of our customers, and we love the high-quality, responsive styles. New Puma technology features advanced nitrogen-infused foam and the Pumagrip outsole, providing optimal traction on various terrains. Carbon plates and rocker geometry make these a great choice for runners who like a little extra support on rough surfaces, and the breathable, lightweight materials ensure flexibility and ease of movement.
Puma running shoes are ideal for both the track and the trail, and if you’re road running, you’ll appreciate the extra cushioning they provide. Our Puma running shoes for men and Puma running shoes for women are designed to look and feel great, whether you’re tackling a Couch to 5K or training for a marathon. Let’s take a look at the styles we’re falling for right now:
- Women’s Magmax Nitro. The Puma Women’s Magmax Nitro is a stylish choice, and the Gold Moon colour scheme is sure to turn heads for all the right reasons. This is a running shoe with an exhilarating bounce, courtesy of the cutting-edge Nitrofoam technology that can propel you through the miles with ease. With comfortable mesh, deluxe knitted tongue and cushioned heel and a high-quality Pumagrip rubber outsole for multi-surface traction, this offers a whole new level of running.
- Deviate 3 Hyrox. If you’re looking for something special, the Deviate 3 Hyrox is a super-fast, ultra-responsive running shoe that is ideal for running and Hyrox races. You’ll love the superior cushioning that optimises comfort and the nitrogen-infused Nitrofoam sole that offers you maximum energy return and lightweight responsiveness. The PWRPLATE carbon fibre plate runs the full length of the shoe for powerful propulsion and elite performance, and the Pumagrip outsole gives you the multi-surface traction you need.
- Women’s Deviate Nitro Elite 3. The colours in the Women’s Deviate Nitro Elite 3 are sublime, and this is a stylish way to step ahead on race day. With a lightweight design and advanced sports tech for effortless propulsion, you’ll love this innovative model. We’re especially impressed with the Ultraweave technology, featuring an ultralight, engineered fabric with a structured, 4-way stretch that reduces weight and friction and enables increased speeds on all terrains.
- Men’s ForeverRun Nitro 2. The ForeverRun Nitro is a supremely supportive shoe with Nitrofoam cushioning and Runguide system for stability, making it the ideal choice if your feet tend to overpronate. The engineered mesh upper offers breathability and durability, and you’ll enjoy a smooth and stable ride on the track, the trails or the roads. With Pumagrip technology to deliver durability and high performance on all surfaces, this is a great choice for all-rounders.
