Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Stinson 8 is designed for adult hikers and runners who require a versatile, stable, and highly cushioned platform capable of transitioning seamlessly from pavement to rugged trails. Its standout benefit is the combination of a plush, supportive ride with an updated H-Frame midsole that provides lockdown stability across varying terrain, though users should note that the maximalist profile may feel different to those accustomed to minimalist or low-profile footwear.

FAQs
Are the Stinson 8 shoes waterproof?
The Stinson 8 is designed for breathability, so it is not inherently waterproof.
Can I use these for daily road running?
Yes, the Stinson 8 is specifically designed as a road-to-trail hybrid.
How does the sizing compare to other HOKA models?
The Stinson 8 generally follows standard HOKA sizing; if you currently wear HOKA, your usual size should be the correct fit.
Does this model offer arch support?
The H-Frame system provides inherent stability that supports the foot through the gait cycle, which often feels supportive for those with neutral to moderate arch needs.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, trail shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on the intensity and abrasiveness of the terrain.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the laces using a runner's loop or lock-lacing technique to better utilize the cage overlay.
Dirt buildup in lugs reducing traction
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear debris from the outsole lug gaps after each hike.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Stinson 8 shoes, ensure they are laced securely using the eyelets to take full advantage of the internal H-Frame stability. Since these are hiking and trail-running shoes, it is recommended to clean them after muddy excursions by rinsing the outsole with water and letting the mud dry before brushing it off the upper. Do not machine wash or dry, as this can degrade the foam integrity and glue bonds. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent foam compression and material fading.
