Men's Trail Running Shoes

Designed and built with the collaboration of world class HOKA trail athletes, the Torrent boasts competitive credentials. Created as a trail racer, it incorporates the seemingly contradictory combination of cushioning and agility.

Marry that with a breathable upper and you’ve got a super lightweight, nimble, and technical trail racer that allows you to tackle a variety of terrain at any speed. Pedal to the metal.

The lightweight trail-racing shoe with Missiongrip™

More grip, more speed

Missiongrip™ technology in an aggressive grip pattern adds bite on soft trails. Varied patterns in the 'sticky' rubber overlay provide hold on rough and smooth surfaces. Zero-Gravity heel Clouds provide soft landings as you power down dizzying descents.

Supportive taping wraps the foot, adding hold so you can really let go on race day.
