Customer Reviews Hoka Odyssey 2

amazing shoe, true to size, wish I had bought two pairs.

I love these shoes! I wore them all day out of the box with no break in necessary. There is plenty of room in the toe box,they felt great on my heel, which is my problem area. They were recommended by my chiropractor. I usually wear an 8½ - 9 so I ordered the 9 because of other reviews and they were perfect. They look really cute, too!

I ordered these after my physical therapist suggested I try them. They have helped with a lot with sensitivity to impact on hard surfaces such as asphalt and concrete floors. I was initially skeptical but I think for anyone with difficulty with sensitivity to impact, they would be worth it.

These are the best shoes I have ever worn! I wish I had found these years ago. My orthopedic doctor recommended these to me and I will be buying several pairs. The fit feels a little roomy but I don't exactly think I need a size smaller. They're amazing!

I walk up to 20 hours on concrete floors on nights when I'm on call (health care professional). These shoes are nothing short of miraculous. The are supportive and soft soled at the same time. They make me feel like I'm floating at 3 a.m., rather than "willing" my legs to move! I have 2 pair, one for work and one for working out. My husband has chronic back pain as well as other medical issue that making walking difficult for him. I bought a pair for him and they make him feel so good he wears them every waking hour. Really, I can't recommend them highly enough! Time will tell how well they hold up, but I've spent 3 times as much for shoes that aren't nearly 1/3 as comfortable.

I'm very glad I heeded the reviews that said this brand runs small. I normally take a size 6 but I ordered a size 6.5 and although the length is fine, the width is narrow enough that I even wonder if a size 7 would have been better. I think the extra length on a size 7 would be hard to handle though. I have short but wide feet. I love the hot pink color (one of the reasons I picked this shoe) and the cushioning so far feels great (the other reason I picked this brand). Saucony used to be my go-to running shoes but even in a size 6.5, they're just too narrow in the toe box to be comfortable. Salomons are a great fit in a size 6 but don't seem very cushioned to me. So I have high hopes for these shoes because I am constantly battling foot pain (arch pain, ball of foot, ilio band, etc.).

Cute shoe, not so clunky looking like some Hokas. Good arch support and cushioning; super light shoe. My toes were being smashed a bit so it seemed like the toe box needed to be taller. This shoe was just too stiff overall for me. The sole didn't flex as much as I am use to so my feet actually got sore after wearing them for only a couple hours. It's a very rigid sole, flexes a "bit" at the front but not much. Reminded me of those Dansko Clogs with the lack of flexibility they have. Pretty surprised to find something like that in a running shoe. I've read it's good to let your feet work naturally - toe splaying, arch movement, foot bending, etc. This Hoka does not allow that to happen. Glad Zappos lets me try and return so easily! You guys are the best company out there!

I bought the Clifton 1 style about a year ago--hallelujah, a wide toe box (bunions) and comfy padding. I have run, walked, and hiked those shoes into the ground, and am ready to buy another pair. No such luck. Naturally, they had to be "improved" and the resulting shoe is too narrow. The Hoka One One customer support recommended the Odyssey 2, but they are super narrow on me (even more narrow than the Clifton 2 style). I couldn't stand to walk across the room, and I am annoyed and frustrated with this brand. If you have a narrow foot, these are supportive and cushy, and you might love them as much as the other reviewers seemed to. The pink is super bright (which I would be fine with if, you know, I could walk in them).

So I love in love with Hokas right away, when I purchased my Stinson 3 style ladies shoe, but the colors of that style are just awful and I've been trying to duplicate the comfort, without success. These shoes are a cool color, but nowhere nearly as comfy. To be honest, this is the 3rd style of Hokas I've tried to duplicate the Stinson's comfort. I'm certain it's my feet, nevertheless...good to know. Thanks to Zappos wonderful return policy, I will keep trying!

Great looking shoe! I read the reviews prior to purchasing and as a runner I thought they would be great but I found the shoe too heavy and uncomfortable around my ankles.

I would have liked to like this shoe, really great cushioning, but is definitely not for an overpronator. The mesh has a lining which made my foot very hot and sweaty. Too bad, it's a really cute shoe.

The back of the shoe seems too high and chafes the back of my Achilles tendon. The toe box also feels narrow so I will try a wide version of Hoka's next.

After wearing for several weeks, the shoes squeak, making them unwearable in public. 5star for comfort
