Hoka was founded in 2009 in Annecy, in the French Alps, by two former Salomon product men — Nicolas Mermoud and Jean-Luc Diard — who wanted a trail shoe with enough foam and enough rocker to run downhill faster than you should. Deckers acquired the brand in 2012; by 2024 Hoka was a $1.8B line run out of Goleta, California. The Meta-Rocker geometry and oversized foam midsole remain the through-line across every model.
Ora Recovery is Hoka's post-run, post-race, post-shift family — injection-moulded EVA cradle, Meta-Rocker geometry at recovery speeds, Hoka's bucket Active Foot Frame. Ora Slide 3 is the bestseller at 221 g (33/27 mm, 6 mm drop); Mule adds a closed-toe cover with vented airflow channels; Flip Flop is the lightest at 164 g; Ora Primo Ext is the closed-knit crossover. Not run kit — recovery kit, worn to and from the run. Ora Recovery Flip Flop — lightest in the Ora line at 164 g per shoe. EVA thong.
