Not for me. The shoe doesn't quite fit at the ankle and causes uncomfortable chafing/bruising when walking. Weirdly, this doesn't happen when running. But, I'm slow, so on steep trails, I walk. The shoe has great traction. It's weird cause other Hoka road shoes fit me well. Just not this one. I don' think I have weird ankles. I had to lace them down, so the shoe wouldn't chafe as much too.
