Unparalleled support and stability for bad ankles
tugford1 year ago
These are my favorite shoe I have ever owned. Have had major ankle issues over the years including a couple surgeries. Never have I felt more supported and stable, even on technical climbs and descents.

After 25 miles, shoes fell apart. I'm not sure who's making these shoes, but it appears they've been put together with Elmer's glue. Seems to be a common problem with this model. Don't waste your time with these, and I'm a big Hoka fan too.

Love Shoe- Horrible build qlty. broke down <30d
4 months ago
Love the shoe. Stable. Helps with gate, back, Plantar Fasciitis. However, build quality is horrible. Within a month, cracks formed around the outer edge of the seam. Heal formed hole. This is my second pair. I thought my first was just a "lemon". Not even used for trail running. I only wear them for easy daily hikes and dog parks. Would I purchase again? Yes. I bought another pair and rotate wearing them. Really hope Hoka improves their build quality.

Superbly comfortable!
10 months ago
These Hokas are superbly comfortable shoes. I use these on walks and hiking. I purchased the Casterock/Cabernet color as this most closely matches my university's colors. They will worn when I march with the Alumni Marching Band and when I attend other university functions. Of course, I'll continue to wear these while out hiking.

What happened to Hoka
4 months ago
Very disappointing quality. I loved my first pair of speed goats by Hoka. I put them thought the ringer and wore them until they were smooth on the bottom. I decided to replace with a pair of Stinson because I liked the cushion. The first pair started falling apart after 2 weeks the soles were separating. I returned them to REI and they shipped me a new pair, The new pair started coming apart almost immediately as well. Unfortunately I just decided to wear them as I don't want to be that customer, and hoped the would hold up. These shoes are now unwearable after 8 months. Something has clearly changed at Hoka as far as quality but they remain at a premium price. I reached out to Hoka and they said I would need to mail them in for warranty approval. After 8 months of wearing them there's no guarantee that will be approved. When paying 180 for a pair of shoes I hoped they would last at least a year hopefully more. It is hard to find companies that truly stand behind what they make and put out a quality product these days, and Hoka does not. Unless you want to spend time and money shipping your new shoes around the country I would avoid!

I wanted to love these shoes but they are not good for trail running may be for every day use if that, I had a wood stick go right through the sole and this was the first time I wore them on the trail I would love to add pics but this site won't let me and my previews review fas not posted overpriced to my opinion.

Comfortable but short life
1 year ago
Been wearing stinson atrs for a few years now and gone through severely pairs of different years. I'm usually pretty happy with the shoe but let down by recent issues. My last pair started to come apart at a seam when it was almost new. Never had this happen before. Maybe quality control has gone down. They wanted me to ship it back to them at my expense for store credit. Nah I'm good. I'll return to rei and stop buying this brand. For the high price of these shoes you should expect atheist basic quality control to be met or provide support. Not happy with purchase and will buy a different brand in the future.

Lousy wear in the heel materials
5 months ago
These shoes start out great, and padding and comfort are excellent; however, the materials in the heel section wear out very quickly. I wear socks every time I wear these shoes, and after 6 months of intermittent wearing, I already have a hole in the heel materials. For the price of these shoes, I expect them to last longer and wear better than they do.

Big Design Flaw!
1 year ago
Hoka Stinson 7 Trail is falling apart after only a few trail runs! The plastic like fabric that seems to be glued to the sole is tearing off, leaving a gap between the shoe body and the sole where water and dirt can make their way into the shoe!!! This is my second pair with this issue (my first pair I returned to REI, they gave me a new pair). This looks like a serious design flaw! For a $170 shoe you would expect way better quality.
