I like the Hokas for everything except a very particular situation - some stands are very slightly tilted forward (I don’t recall any being tilted the other way) and with these, and mind you - only sometimes I get some discomfort for my toes. Exaggerated cushion comfort (will see for how long), at the expense of somewhat less overall support.

The Brooks are not as soft, but with more structural support.
Buy a bolt (or a few, since they're cheap) to keep in your ref bag. You can use it to straighten out the stand, and alleviate a lot of foot problems, speaking from experience.
