Jul 27 A Love Letter: Hoka One One's Recovery Slides

For when hardwood floors are hard on your feet.

I thought my Japanese heritage would reject wearing you inside the house, but all of my being has embraced you and welcomed you into our home.

6 weeks into barefoot working conditions, E and I both began to feel uncomfortable on our feet. At the standing desk, over the sink, even getting out of bed, our feet would bark - nay - howl. Our arches felt like crumbling infrastructure. The balls of our feet had lost their bounce and our heels felt like pressure points. The hardwood floor was lava.

Who would of thought that the shoes we donned each day into the office were actually vessels of essential arch support, keeping our toes in alignment and preventing plantar fasciitis? Your dual-layer sole touches my soul with complete comfort, designed for immediate relief the second I step into your foot cradles. 100% vegan and 100% satisfaction. You are my favorite piece of footwear, don’t tell my Clifton 4s.

Love at first flight,
Aaron
