Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Stinson 8 is a maximum-cushioned trail runner designed for men seeking a reliable, stable, and protective ride over uneven terrain. As the lightest iteration in the Stinson series, it excels at providing shock absorption and support for long-distance training; however, its substantial cushioning may feel too bulky for runners who prefer a high degree of ground feel.

FAQs
Is the Stinson 8 suitable for road running?
Yes, while designed for trails, the lug depth is suitable for transitions and road sections, though it is optimized for mixed terrain.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
Yes, the H-Frame Stability System provides inherent support, making it effective for runners who need help preventing overpronation.
How often should I replace these trail runners?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the terrain and your running style.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The upper is made of breathable mesh for ventilation and is not waterproof.
Can I use custom orthotics with this shoe?
Yes, the internal volume is typically sufficient to accommodate most standard custom orthotic insoles by removing the factory liner.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort or pressure on the midfoot
Adjust the laces to loosen the tension over the moulded cage overlay, or experiment with different lacing patterns to relieve pressure points.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
The dual-sided gusset is designed to minimize debris entry, but using gaiters can provide an extra layer of protection if running through loose sand or scree.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Stinson 8 trainers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure you select your standard running size. The dual-sided gusset offers a secure fit, but always ensure there is enough room for toe splay.
- Cleaning: After muddy runs, remove loose dirt with a soft brush once dry. Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed.
- Drying: Avoid placing shoes near direct heat sources like radiators or in the tumble dryer, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive. Air dry at room temperature with the laces loose.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent UV damage to the materials.
