Men’s Stinson ATR 6

The Stinson Hoka Men’s 6 ATR is a versatile, high-cushion trail running shoe from Hoka designed for both rugged trails and smoother terrain. Known for its thick midsole and supportive design, the Stinson 6 ATR offers comfort and stability for long-distance runs, hikes, or casual wear. Here’s a closer look at its features:

Key Features

1. Maximal Cushioning: The shoe’s defining feature is its ultra-thick CMEVA (compression-molded EVA) midsole, which provides excellent shock absorption and comfort over rough terrain. This cushioning is great for reducing impact on long runs or hikes.
2. All-Terrain Versatility (ATR): The “ATR” stands for All-Terrain, meaning it’s built to handle a range of surfaces. The Stinson 6 has a durable outsole with 4mm lugs that offer good grip on dirt, rocks, and even wet surfaces. The lugs are spaced to shed mud and debris efficiently.
3. Breathable Upper: The shoe’s upper is made from a breathable, reinforced mesh that promotes airflow while still being durable enough for trail conditions. It also has a bit of give to adapt to foot swelling on longer runs.
4. Wide Base for Stability: The Stinson 6 ATR features a wider forefoot platform, which increases stability and support on uneven terrain. This is particularly useful for runners or hikers who want added control on rocky or root-laden trails.
5. Meta-Rocker Design: Hoka’s signature Meta-Rocker technology creates a smooth, rolling effect with each stride, encouraging a more natural gait and reducing fatigue over time.
6. Enhanced Heel Support: With added heel padding and a reinforced heel counter, the shoe provides good support for the back of the foot, helping to prevent heel slippage and promote a secure fit.
7. Weight: While the Stinson 6 ATR is slightly heavier than other Hoka models, the extra weight is due to its robust cushioning and durable design, making it ideal for those who prioritize comfort and support over speed.
