HOKA Zinal 2 Mountain & Skyrunning Shoes

Light as Air. Fast as Lightning. Built for the Vertical.

The HOKA Zinal 2 is HOKA's most weight-obsessed trail racing shoe — a featherlight mountain speed shoe engineered for skyrunners, vertical kilometer competitors, and high-alpine racers who demand the absolute minimum weight with maximum grip and mountain-specific protection. Where the Speedgoat 6 is the all-around trail workhorse and the Tecton X 3 is the ultra-distance carbon powerhouse, the Zinal 2 is pure mountain speed: stripped back, precise, and devastatingly fast on steep technical ascents and technical high-alpine terrain.

• Ultra-lightweight construction — among the lightest trail racing shoes in HOKA's entire lineup — for maximum uphill speed and vertical efficiency on steep mountain ascents and skyrunning race terrain
• Vibram® Megagrip outsole with aggressive mountain-specific lug pattern for exceptional traction confidence on steep, technical, wet, and loose high-alpine trail and skyrunning race terrain
• Precision-fit, minimal trail racing upper with targeted overlays for a secure, locked-in racing fit with the lowest possible weight penalty on technical mountain and skyrunning terrain
• Responsive, trail-tuned midsole optimized for mountain speed and technical terrain feedback for confident, precise foot placement on steep technical ascents and technical high-alpine descents
• Rock plate protection system for confident foot protection on sharp, rocky, and technical high-alpine terrain during vertical kilometer and skyrunning race efforts at maximum speed
• Available in EU sizes 36–46
