Too narrow again
No, I do not recommend this product
I'm between a C and D width. I had 2 pair of the Speedgoat 5 GTX and loved them. Bought the 6GTX and it was wayyyy too narrow. Returned them and REI had a pair of 5GTX's on clearance in my size so I got those. I went for a Bondi 9 demo run with our area Hoka rep and told him about the 6GTX being too narrow. His response was "we're hearing that a lot." I was excited to try the 7GTX because I figured they would have fixed the problem. Sadly, no. On top of that, when the shoe flexes, the material bunches up and digs into the top of my foot (see photo). Returning these and switching brands for now.

Still too narrow for me
No, I do not recommend this product
Version 5 of this show was great (had 3). V6 was wayyy too narrow. Met the local Hoka rep at a demo run and he said he'd been hearing that a lot so I was excited for V7. Still too narrow (I'm between a C & D). I also found that when the shoe flexes, the material (stiffer than previous versions) bunches up and digs into the top of my foot (see photo). Hoping V8 is a fix because V5 was one of my all-time favorite shoes!

Too tight for this woman wearing mens shoe
Yes , I recommend this product
Loved the shoes in so many ways but my regular size (8.5) is too narrow —-and I never have a sizing issue with either Hoka brand or athletic footwear in general. The color is amazing and the features if the shoe are perfect. They are simply too tight. (Length is perfect)

narrow narrow narrow narrow narrow
Super narrow, I'm trying to break them in but they gave my feet pins and needles around the heel, the toe box is tight but I feel like with correct lacing and a 1-2 week break in period they will relax enough to be a decent shoe, the heel is just so darn tight, I currently have them jammed with random stuff to keep the heel stretched out to hopefully relieve some of the pressure, toe box is very narrow horizontally and vertically, though it does allow for technical control on uneven terrain,

Too Narrow
Sizing is wrong. Too narrow and probably a half size short. REI doesnt have a wide option yet while Hoka direct does. They look great otherwise.

Best waterproof travel shoe!
Very light and comfortable. Had Hoka already but needed a waterproof model. No need to wear in. Love the easy pull laces for quickly putting on the shoes.

Perfect Fit
Yes , I recommend this product
Haven’t tested their waterproof qualities yet, but the fit and comfort are spot on and a very lightweight shoe at that.
