The Zinal is a responsive trail runner powered by HOKA ProFly midsole foam, making it lighter than both the HOKA Speedgoat and Torrent.
As seen in the HOKA Mach and the Carbon X2, ProFly foam delivers cushioned landings and propulsive take-offs so you can reach top speeds, effortlessly.
“You immediately feel the level of propulsion that is accelerated by the plate in the shoe,” says one reviewer. “This is an exciting shoe and will pump a lot of energy into the trail category!”
The Zinal uses a low stack height to encourage rolling, fast transitions and help you stay nimble on the trails.
Our reviewers loved the way the low stack height and ankle profile work together.
“When you combine propulsion, lower stack height, and the lower profile around the ankle this shoe is agile,” says one reviewer.
