Recently after finishing a 5K, my feet were incredibly sore, even though I was wearing brand new Ghosts. My dr said I had "low volume feet" and did not have a lot of padding on the balls of my feet. I decided to try Hoka because of their extra cushioning. I LOVE these shoes. I walk/run 4 days a weeks and they have eliminated the pain under the balls of my feet. Yes, it does take about a week to get used to the stack height, increased cushioning, etc but it is well worth it. Am on my 2nd pair now, and I am a Hoka advocate. Love their trail shoes as well. have a high arch, narrow heel and wide forefoot, and the wide version fit great.
I got these for using at work in the ER. I was a little worried, because they looked a bit like rocker bottom shoes on the shelf, and the sole looked thick. I have ankle problems and am scared to wear anything that will roll my ankle. I also have trouble finding shoes that fit in cute style for Euro size 42-43. These are AWESOME! Plenty of room in the toe box. great support. Can't roll/twist my ankle accidentally. Look flattens out when I'm wearing them, and styleing makes them look smaller than they are. They don't pinch top of my foot either. I'm never getting another brand again for work shoes! PS someone warned me that I would get shin splints for the first week, and I felt no such pains. And my heel pain went away.
I have horrible plantar fascitis, and this the only shoe that made power walking comfortable for me again. It looks odd, but I think the shoe changes up the biomechanics. Give it a try. I was skeptical of the funny looking shoe, but it is great.
Love my Hoka's ! I will never choose any other shoe because Hoka is the shoe that keeps my knees and feet comfortable .I am 76 yrs old ?I walk on average of five mile a day ,sometime 8 or 10 .I had pain in my arch and tired feet before wearing Hoka 's .this is not my first pair and will not be the last .I have had many people ask about them and I always tell them REI sells them .Thank You Twila Hankins
This is the best workout/excercise/running/walking shoe I have ever bought! This is my second pair and I absolutely LOVE THEM. I will not go back to any other name brand/popular brand type of shoe. I guarantee, if you purchase this shoe, you will LOVE IT too.
My husband recently bought a pair of Hokas and really wanted me to try them. I was skeptical but as soon as I put them on in the store I knew I had to have them. I've worn them just about every day since for hiking, walking, traveling, or just going shopping. It's like wearing marshmallows on my feet, but in addition to being very soft and comfy they also give good support. The salesperson was very helpful and knowledgeable and helped me choose the correct model and size. Thank you REI staff!
I'm still not sure about these shoes. I have foot issues and they seem to be the best bet for me right now. They sure take some getting used to. They are like walking on pillows and it feels very odd.
I actually LOVE HOkas. My physical medicine M.D. recommends them. I have been buying at least 9 pair a year of Clifton 3. The 4s are way too wide in the toe box. I must wear orthotics so a removable insole is a must. The 3s were the only athletic shoe which gave me fit, length and a removable insole AND awesome cushioning. Now what Hoka????? Please fix this problem!! I understand that many customers are complaining about the 4s. Thank you~
These are well made, incredibly comfortable, and very supportive shoes. I feel like I’m waking on air when I go for my long walks around town, they also give me plenty of support in my HIIT classes where jumping is a common activity. Wonderful walking, HIIT, gym, and casual shoe for just around town running errands. Also, I love the color: bright blue and pink but seems to go with anything.
I found the staff and the store a pleasure to shopping. However the Hoka shoes I bought seem to have a defect in them as I purchased three different pair and they still squeak in the right shoe. Very expensive shoe to be defective. The store exchanged my purchase with no problem only to get another pair doing the same thing. It's a good thing the real comfortable cuz they are noisy
