The evolution of one's footwear over time is fun to see.
As one gets older, and they have more "mileage" on their bodies, and the experience that comes with dealing with the affects that mileage puts on our bodies, at some point the light goes off in one's head and you realize that the function and comfort is more important than the style.
Hoka's are great for sure (I'm on my 3rd pair currently) after having been a New Balance 990 guy (yup those BORING gray with white trim one's you see "old guys" (as my teenage kids say) wearing often. And it's not just for cushioning reasons I wear them, it's also the arch support that they provide as well.
For most of us, regardless of the type of footwear you wear whether at work or at play, the sooner you spend more time wearing properly fitting footwear with GOOD support, the happier you and your feet will be in the decades to come
