which Hoka did you try? Lots of different stack heights. Tried Altra? The Glycerin has a 32/22 stack height

I’m also an Adrenaline user. But if padding is the goal, they aren’t really comparable to Hoka imo.

Was just going to say this. It is a great shoe. I just got them, and my few runs have been nice.

The foam is great for cushion, but I've never found a shoe that has done much for improving
