You've got 12 pairs of their shoes in the past six years, but now have left them in the dust for .......... ?????
Can't tell if this is an AI post or if you're incredibly talented at burying the lede.

Slowtwitch forums seems to be all about bikes?
https://www.letsrun.com/shoes/rev...ning-shoes has Hoka as #3
Reddit is just always angry and hates everything lol
My impression from following these forums for the past few years is that the HOKA brand is not held in high regard. Runners by and large are very critical and dismissive of HOKA's shoe lineup. There's a general consensus that the brand has not kept up with recent technological trends in midsole foams and plates. HOKA has also come in for heavy criticism for the lack of longevity their shoes provide and the poor value proposition this presents.
Personally, I have owned over 12 pairs of HOKA shoes since 2017. I used to be a brand loyal devotee. But I have since branched out to other brands and can flatly say that HOKA is just not up to par with the competition. I have two HOKA shoes in my shoe rotation and once I drop them I have no plans to buy another HOKA shoe anytime soon.
I for one am cheap, (hence Slickdeals) so I choose from the slightly worse brands like Brooks, Saucony, or Salomon, etc and look for high MSRP shoes that are discounted. I can't afford Hoka. 😂 Anyway, just frustrating because people on here need to be able to trust what's written.

The shoes I use now are vastly different than the typical CMEVA or Profly based HOKA shoe. HOKA is overly reliant on EVA foam for their product lineup. The major weakness with HOKA is the midsoles. EVA packs out prematurely resulting in a loss of cushioning and rebound. The midsoles in shoes such as the Bondi and Stinson will eventually mould to the runner's foot like the cork in a Birkenstock sandal as the EVA compresses.

The top comment there literally says
It literally says "Welcome REI Employees." This is a pro-form deal not meant for the general public.
If Hoka comes through and decides to honor it, great... But if not, you really don't have anything to complain about. Honest mistakes happen.

No casual or even ultra runner for that matter would be this highly specific about what they do wrong, and still absolutely resist listing an alternative.
Why? Because you A. Don't want to give away who you work with and B. would have to list a competitor as "better" and you're not going to do that.
Might be wrong, but that's the only way this makes sense. Your post history pretty much aligns.
Its better to buy shoes at 1/3rd the price and change them often.
