Altras are zero drop, but they can have lots of cushion too.

I could never find a pair of Altras that ran better than any year of Brooks Ghost. The running shoe biz is full of flash-in-the-pan companies that are ultra-trendy but then disappear if they aren't bought and folded into some other shoe conglomerate. I assume Altra will be the next to disappear.
It's a jaded viewpoint, but I'm 95% sure I'm correct.
Had the bondi 8 for walking and within 8 months the back of the shoe heel ripped on both lol
Still comfy as hell but damn that's sad. My bondi 7 back heel pad went completely flat in less than a year too.
I am very new to running shoes, primarily for walking needs. With SO many premium brands available, and you can read tons of reviews but ultimately what fits best on your feet is the most important factor. For that reason, I joined REI membership.
It's $30 and at the time when I signed up, I given a $30 gift card towards a purchase so essentially, it was free. For me, The absolute biggest benefit of joining REI is having the ability to return a shoe up to 12 months after the purchase. While that doesn't answer HOKA's durability but getting a refund or an exchange would be effortless. With this membership, I was able to wear three different brands for a couple of weeks each before finalizing on HOKA Clifton. The other two shoes were returned, with a simple explanation: They weren't a good fit. I don't work for REI or get anything by mentioning their name, just wanted to share this option.

With imperfect pronation I think people find cushion assistance "feels better" even if its not better for them
It takes a rare breed to choose the footwear that feels worse, even if it is better for us. Specialized ignorance towards the comfort that quietly handicaps us.
I have 3 pairs of them now and my favorite is Torin 7 and found them quite beneficial for my knee injury for the following reasons:
- It has been finally allowing me not to experience swelling to the back of my knee (probably due to getting used to natural shock absorption and distributing pressure and stress on the knee joint.)
- The lack of cushion assistance has helped me maintaining a neutral posture over time.
- As a heel striker (worst for knee injuries), I am finally able to have a constant mid-to-forefoot strike pattern, even in my longer runs.
Olympus previously were the only shoe I could wear well, and the latest models are both too narrow and don't hold up.
