Features
Torch your PRs in the new women's HOKA Zinal.
The Zinal uses a minimal, lightweight design that encourages you to go fast on trails. A lightweight mesh upper made from recycled yarn gives you a low-profile fit, while the ProFly midsole delivers cushioned landings and responsive takeoffs.
Despite its stripped back look and lightweight feel, HOKA designed the Zinal with just enough protection for off-roading. The Vibram MegaGrip outsole keeps you connected to the trail, and an additional toe bumper protects your foot from rocks and roots that get in your way.
Built with your top speed in mind, the women's HOKA Zinal gives you exactly what you need to run your best times yet.

My favorite shoes of all time!
I have chronic pain syndrome that affects mostly my lower body starting in my back along with bilateral pronation. I am a high school PE teacher and a track coach so I put the miles in on my shoes. These shoes have been a game changer for me. I've tried numerous types of shoes and brands but Hoka Zinals are the best hands down. I am on my 2nd pair getting ready to order a 3rd! I highly recommend!!
