#72 Why are Uppers so Overlooked? Best Uppers of 2021 and a Roundup of Early HOKA 2022 Offerings

Doctors of Running Podcast

Jan 26 2022 • 1 hr

Today on the roundtable we have the joy of talking about our second DOR Giving initiative. You'll learn more about the Life Rolls On foundation and the wonderful work they do. You can learn more and donate to their organization here: https://liferollson.org/.

Next we talk about the art and science of uppers, and why they are one of the most overlooked pieces of shoe design. We give our picks for favorite uppers over the last year and why they worked for us in a variety of categories like daily trainer, racers, and trail. Then we discuss and review all of the early HOKA 2022 offerings: Carbon X3, Kawana, Tecton X, and Mach Supersonic. We discuss where some of these fell short, who they may work for, and where HOKA may need to go next.
