Stability

The Crescendo MD 2 contains our J-Frame(TM) technology designed to prevent excessive inward roll, or overpronation, without overcorrecting your gait.

The Crescendo MD 2 contains features that make the shoe inherently stable, such as a wide base and our Active Foot Frame, for a moderate amount of stability that is still designed to work for neutral gaits.

The Crescendo MD 2 features a symmetrical bed of cushion without additional prescriptive technologies. Designed to provide the support you want and nothing you don't.

The Crescendo MD 2 features a higher bed of soft cushion, designed to provide a forgiving impact and ride.

    Pretty disappointed

    Top pulled apart in first 1500m. Pain to swap out and would miss getting use them in half the races. Hoka doesn’t really stand behind their product. I’ll buy a different brand next time.

    I would NEVER buy this shoe again!

    The shoe does not fit. The last must be far different than your regular shoe. Too small! The shoe has no substance. I'll not use it to play golf in. I have purchased several pair of your shoes, the quality of this shoe has no positive comparison. It is too light, offers no support, the hard plastic ...
