Hoka Evo Jawz Women's Running Shoe
Specialising in off-road thrill rides, the Hoka Evo Jaws Women's Running Shoe will enhance performances in the most testing of circumstances. With a firm low to the ground structure, solid protection from the midsole, and a detailed bottom sole for traction control don't let anything hold you back from a multi-terrain adventure.
Woven Upper
The woven upper of the Hoko Evo Jaws Women's Running Shoe is rip-stop, designed especially for extreme durability and fit security. With a moderate active frame, this aids stability and balance when running. The material, whilst being strong and able withstand abuse, it is still lightweight so it will not hold your speed back.
PROFLYTM Midsole
In the midsole of the shoes, Hoka use PROFLYTM, a technology designed by them to aid propulsion and protection. As well as this it offers users supreme comfort, which will give confidence to try uneven and uncertain surfaces.
Vibram Megagrip Outsole
On the bottom there is a Vibram Megagrip hi-traction outsole. In addition there are 6mm multi-directional lugs, which mean that slipping and sliding are a thing of the past.
Shoe Review
The Hoka Evo Jawz is a speed machine. It's one of the lightest trail running shoes on the market, making it an ideal choice for racing. The colourful design is striking, it stands out for all the right reasons. It's also a shoe with real bite - the 6mm multi-directional lugs give it fantastic grip, especially on wet and muddy surfaces. It's like nothing else Hoka have ever designed before. I would say that unlike many of the other models I've reviewed, it would also be suitable for short-medium distance fell races, as well as trail running. The upper material is made from an extremely breathable and lightweight mesh. Fantastic for wicking away moisture, meaning that it doesn't get weighed down when wet.
In terms of sizing, I wear a 10.5UK in Hoka, so I would recommend buying a slightly bigger size.
This is one to be unleashed for competition, when grip, speed and performance are the most important criteria. It's also worth mentioning that in comparison to other similar shoes on the market, the Hoka Evo Jawz are excellent value for money.
