Generally Hoka is very comfortable and lightweight, also it is the most advised shoes by podiatrists and physical therapist for those who have pronation issues. Overall, it is great for walking and running. Compared to Nike, it depends on your foot pronation, but I would choose Hoka over Nike as Nike's fit nowadays are quite smaller and narrower compared before. On the other hand, Nike is also good especially their carbon plated elite running shoes such as alphaflys and vaporflys.
