Customer Reviews Hoka Conquest 2

These are great shoes as the deep seated foot position hug my feet so nicely including my small heels. I walk in these now and plan to start jogging at some point as well. The only thing is the tongue needs padding but I put some pads under them which helps. I use the additional foot insert that came with the shoes as I have a short instep. I wear 6.5, medium width, small heels and flatter feet with some pronation. These shoes also are more level which helps to avoid toe nail injury versus shoes which slant down towards the toe. Glad I discovered the Hokas!

Last year I purchased the stenson and I went back to the store where I purchased them and tried hoka in eight and a half and nines. None of this styles were comfortable. The models this year do not fit like last year's style. I bought the conquest 2 in 8.5 from Zappos on sale and they fit just as the stenson from last year. I now have happy feet. I have a narrow hard to please foot. Be aware that this year style just not quite fit like last year's style. This is an amazing shoe.

Great comfortable running shoes. I have owned several pair. They reduce the impact of running on you back and joints.

I shattered my tibia plateau and tibia and have lots of hardware and some arthritis in my ankle. I walk a lot on pavement with dog and husband. I do not want to give it up. Wet winter weather is tough on arthritis so I need more cushioning with support to keep walking. These shoes make a difference. I need wider toe box and narrower heel. Some lace ups hurt the top of my feet. These do not.

I absolutely love these workout shoes! I have problems with my feet and these shoes are wonderful. They are great not only for my feet but for my knees and hips, too!

I was eager to try Hokas because in the past I've suffered from back and knee pain, but I have narrow/shallow feet and wasn't sure I could find a fit. Customer service via chat on the Hoka website wasn't very helpful, but Zappos customer reviews were great! The Conquest 1 was too wide/deep for me, but this version is great! It even comes with insole options for those who need more room. I typically wear an 11AA in athletic shoes (Asics), in the Asics Kayano-21 wear an 11 medium, and in the Conquest 2 can wear a 10.5. Can't wait to go for a long run!

The Hoka Conquest 2 doesn't have the toe box room of the Stinson Tarmac, and not as good an arch support. It does have good cushioning. It also feels stiffer...but maybe it just needs a break-in period for the stiffness to go away. It's not like it's bothersome in that it hurts your feet, just noticeable when first putting them on. I love Hokas. Last May, I ran my 11th 1/2 marathon & for the first time ever, I was not hurting at all the next day, or days after. It was also the first time I had worn Hoka. I will wear Hokas in my 12th also, just not sure which one yet.

They are very comfortable which I can rarely say about shoes due to foot issues. It did surprise me that in the first few uses the stitching fell apart around the ankle

I am a long-time runner who has developed arthritis in the ball of my foot, and these shoes were recommended by my podiatrist. After wearing these for a few days I am not a fan. First, the tongue has little to no padding it in, and it doesn't stay put very well. Also, the shoelaces come untied all of the time, I know this seems insignificant but it's annoying and I've never had that issue with tie shoes before. More importantly, I felt that these shoes didn't have enough support for me. There is definitely enough cushion (it feels like you're walking on a Tempurpedic mattress), but no arch support at all. I have worn Asics with Superfeet inserts for years, so maybe I'm just used to that level of support. It's an interesting concept and I'm bummed they didn't work for me.

No tongue padding so it slipped half way down while walking. The elastic on top of shoestrings hurt my foot. Came untied six times in less than two miles. Had to return the shoes for Bondi 4. We'll see.

Great colors, but not the Hoka runner I've grown to love. It's narrow, less toe room...and not as much cushion. I'm disappointed! Hoka, we love you for your support, cushion and room for toes, please don't change!
