HOKA ONE ONE ZINAL TRAIL SHOE REVIEW | 2021
HOKA ONE ONE ZINAL TRAIL SHOE REVIEW | 2021
Almost all Hoka shoes are soft and pillow-like, but not the Hoka One One Zinal! The Hoke One One Zinal was designed to be fast and responsive. Rather than a soft midsole absorbing every lump and bump, this shoe allows you to feel the terrain beneath you, helping you remain agile.
The Zinal gets its name from the famous Swiss mountain race, the Sierre Zinal, and was designed for the terrain that racers experience during it. The typical Alpine terrain features steep, rocky single tracks and wider, smoother hard packed trails. Plus, there’s a fast single-track descent to the village of Zinal.
The Zinal still has a broad base to the midsole like all other Hoka shoes. This coupled with the lower heel to forefoot drop of 5mm gives the shoe some natural stability.
Hoka feature their usual rocker, which is further forward and wasn’t as noticeable when we tested it. However, when combined with the Profly dual density midsole, which has a firmer top section, you do feel a push from the shoes when you increase your pace.
The outsole lugs are made from Vibram’s Megabase Lite and are 4mm long. This rubber is light and flexible and grips well on wet surfaces. 4mm lugs give good grip on a variety of surfaces but
obviously aren’t designed for the deepest, sticky mud.
The fit is relatively narrow and snug like the Rincon 2 and Torrent 2. The Zinal has a gusseted tongue to help reduce the chance of grit and dirt getting in and they wait in at a very light 242g in UK8.
The lower stud depth and general ‘racing feel’ of the shoes make them a good road to trail option. However, the Zinal is not an everyday training shoe. They are designed for your faster training sessions and race day.
If you already run in standard width Hokas, like perhaps the cushioned Challenger ATR 6, but are looking to run faster and beat a few personal bests, then the Zinal is a fantastic option.
Thanks for watching my trail shoe review. I often get asked for shoes recommendations and reviews. With so many trail shoes to chose from it's sometimes hard to know what could work best for me. Scott, Inov-8, Altra, New Balance, Asics, Saucony, Hoka and many
more brands are producing some great shoes so I'm sure you'll be able to find the perfect fit.
Hopefully this video will help with your choice. Don't forget to check out a local running store such as www.northernrunner.com. These shops have very enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff who are more than happy to help.
