Reviewed at HOKA ONE ONE
Ran six miles the first time I wore them and could tell they were going to be my new favorite. I have worn them several times now. The thick sole adds a lot of cushion without the weight - so light. I have to run a lot of concrete and pavement in my area and wanted something more maximalist to absorb impact. I have tried several styles of Skechers shape ups and runners with thick soles and had a lot of issues rolling my ankles. These Hokas are high but have a wider, more stable base and your foot sits into it rather than on top of it. I've run flats and hills with NO worrying of rolling ankle. The design is just great. I have had surgeries on both feet and these are very supportive but still comfy. Absolutely love them.

Recently, the bottoms of my feet would hurt so bad just a few miles into my run. My shoes weren't that old and were the brand I had run in for years. I needed a change. I had always wanted to try Hokas, but avoided them because I feared that they wouldn't give me the support I need. The Arahi is amazing and aleviated all my fears. My feet haven't felt this good in a while and I have had no problems with stability. So far, they are awesome! I have had a couple 10+mile runs and several 5 milers. I even did a little speed work with some hill repeats. A few days after I got them, I was out on a run and ran by my local Fleet Feet. I just had to run in and tell them my feet say thank you for putting me in a "run-life" changing shoe!:)

I wear the Hoka One One Clifton for running about 3-4 times per week. I'm currently on my third pair since I discovered how great Hoka products are. I also wear the Hoka One One Tracer for racing. I have reoccurring shin splint issues, and Hoka shoes have become essential in keeping the issue at bay.
Outside of running, I lift weights regularly at the gym and was looking for an inconspicuous shoe that would allow me to run intervals in between lifting sets. The Hoka One One Hupana shoes are perfect for that and the Plum/Dusky Orchid color is great! I am able to fit in at the gym while lifting but hop on the treadmill for half-mile sprints in between sets without the risk of injury. The cushion in the Hupana shoes provides ample support to prevent my reoccurring shin splints from surfacing. They also look great while I'm running errands after the gym.
I have only worn these shoes on the treadmill, so I cannot speak to their performance outside. Overall, great shoes!! I will get another pair once more colors are available!

My feet loves this shoes. Nurses walk, run up and down the hospital halls for 12 hours and my feet still feels great at the end of the day. Please make more color options but not so bright and crazy colors.

I wear Bondi for running. I need that extra cushion for my feet, but the Speed are perfect for my "running around" casual shoe. They are supportive enough for me to wear without an arch support insert. Love them!!

I love my Hokas, am on my 3rd pair, and this will be my 4th. I think this pair of shoes would look wonderful if we could customize the color of the bottoms - since this is being touted as fashionable. Perhaps do a bit of user testing to find out what colors your audience would want, explore the financial impact? I'd really love to order these in either neon yellow or black where the white is on the base of this shoe, but the white shown here...not loving it, although I'll buy them. I appreciate it may not be cost-effective, but if it might be... :)

I bought these for a 2 week vacation in Sri Lanka that included a lot of walking, stair climbing, and one 15 mile hike. Wore them straight of the box, and never got a blister. Dried quickly when I stepped in a stream by mistake. I am now addicted. I got the black because they managed not to look unstylish. LOVE.
I wear a more padded Hoka for running but for strolling, walking, climbing, etc. - these were the bomb.

I love the comfort of this shoe. They are great for walking and usage on hard surfaces. I have plantar fascitis and I can use my orthotic insoles inside. My only complaint is the toes wear out too fast. I find that I have to replace them more often than I would like to (less than 6 months). However, I prefer the heel comfort of these shoes to some of the others I have tried.

If you have narrow low volume feet and prefer a very light weight shoe with all the Hoka comfort - THIS SHOE IS FOR YOU!
I bought those as a wear to work shoe since I am on my feet a lot. To my own surprise, this is my favorite running shoe now given all the issues I mention above.
My only "complaint" is that I can't seem to keep the lash from sliding off center regardless of how I ty my shoe laces.

I'm sure this is a lovely shoe. My last pair of Hokas felt tight on some days, so I ordered a half size up and wide this time. They are smaller than the other pair! Could barely get them on my feet much less actually wear them. Props to Hoka for an excellent return policy!

I wear these at work and for walking, sometimes both things in one day, and they are so comfortable.
They hold my foot firmly yet they have a softness to the landing when my foot touches the ground. They are my 3rd pair of HOKAS, and I love all of them.
These are not as soft in the sole as my other pairs, but they are still very comfortable.

The show fits true to size but is not very flexible. I have enough room for my toes. They slide on easily but it's difficult to explain, it's almost like they are tight from the top of the foot to the bottom. Like I said they are not very flexible in their movement so I think that may attribute to their feelings of tightness.

Poor SupportGreat Support
A friend of mine had these. While they aren't pretty to look at I wanted something with a lot of support. I did get the support promised and kept them, however, after wearing them a month or so, I noted that my knees were hurting. So they sit in my closet and I don't wear them. I feel they were a bit too wide. I probably could wear a regular width in these. If I decide to try again, I'll def get regular width and give them another whirl.

I'm super surprised/impressed with this shoe. It feels light and unobtrusive, so you can knock out faster runs without thinking about the shoe. The ride feels smooth and fast without being harsh and you feel like you get a good energy return. I love this shoe for uptempo runs/races and interval workouts. For slower runs, I'd pick something with a bit more cush. I love the undersrated look of this shoe; makes it great for daily wear and gym training once its running life is done.
My one nitpick is that the upper is stiff where the foot flexes, which can cause the material to chafe the toes. That's the only thing stopping this from being a great longer distance (over 50-60min) shoe for me, because it's super comfy otherwise.

Love my Clifton 4's but only use to run/walk to exercise in. Wanted a everyday shoe to run errands in without bulk of Clifton 4.
This is great. Has support to keep me going.
Would hVe given a 5 Star but not enough arch support for me.
FYI they run a bit narrow.

I am trying to start jogging more.this has support but I need more as I am a heavy girl. It might be better indoors than outdoors, so it may be my fault. It's still great value.

I ordered my typical size but I had to return it for a half size down. This is my 3rd pair of Hokas and the support doesn't last as long as the original Hokas.
