Comparing Hoka vs Brooks can feel confusing because these brands were built with completely different philosophies. In this video, I break down the real differences in fit, cushioning, stability, max-cushion shoes, durability, and best use cases so you can choose the right shoe for your walking or running.
Hoka started in 2009 with soft, rockered shoes designed to “fly over the earth.” Brooks began in 1914 and became known for classic, stable shoes like the Ghost, Glycerin, and Adrenaline GTS. Today, their shoes feel nothing alike — and I compare them side by side so you can feel that difference before you buy.
In this video:
• Hoka vs Brooks fit
• Neutral shoes: Clifton, Mach, Rincon vs Ghost, Glycerin, Hyperion
• Stability shoes: Arahi & Gaviota vs Adrenaline GTS, Glycerin GTS
• Max cushion: Bondi vs Ghost Max & Glycerin Max
• Durability and which brand lasts longer
• Best models for walking, running, and all-day comfort
If you’re choosing between Hoka and Brooks, this guide covers everything you need to know.
