Let’s cut to it: big guys hit harder. Every step loads more weight, more impact, and more stress — especially when your feet are on the move all day.
That’s why we built Powerstack™, the most underfoot cushioning in the game.
We didn’t just slap on foam and call it a day. With 40mm+ of low durometer, high energy return EVA, Powerstack™ delivers holy shit comfort and instant recovery from your everyday grind. Boots off, Stokes On, Life’s Good.
Powerstack™ features strategic geometry for a predictable crush-down, meaning every step absorbs shock and keeps you stable. The ultra-squishy compound gives instant comfort under pressure — no break-in needed. And our wide-stack stance spreads out the impact and gives you a stable platform to push off from — not teeter on.
Here’s why it matters:
-
The average U.S. man weighs ~200 lbs (CDC). Add work boots, tools, or long days on concrete and that’s a beating your joints feel.
-
Heavier and wider-footed men experience 30–50% more impact force through the foot and ankle (Journal of Applied Physiology).
-
Most athletic shoes are tuned for runners under 170 lbs. That ain’t us.
Powerstack™ is designed for real-life strength — for men who carry more and don’t slow down.
This isn’t about running faster. It’s about living stronger — without the pain.
STOKE delivers the cushion you deserve. No collapse. No gimmicks. Just real recovery.
