Stinson 8
Stinson 8 pairs maximum cushioning with stability for road-to-trail runs. A revised H-Frame upper layer sits above softer shock-absorbing foam. More breathable mesh, a woven cage and a dual-gusseted tongue improve foot hold without abandoning ventilation. Reoriented Durabrasion rubber lugs balance smooth pavement transitions with grip on dirt for mixed-surface running.

- Plate note
- HOKA US identifies the H-Frame as the top midsole stability layer above a shock-absorbing bottom layer. The exact retailer specifications corroborate this construction, with no carbon structure.
