Customer Reviews Hoka Vanquish 3

The minute I put my first Hokas on it was an "Ahhhhh" moment. They are so cushiony and comfortable. I am not a runner but a walker with knee issues and often sore feet, but things have improved since I've made these my all-day shoe. I had to try a bunch of different Hoka styles (thanks, Zappos!)to find the two that felt the best for me, and I've barely taken them off since. They run small, and my feet run big (10 ladies) so I found these that I like in size 11, and another style in a men's 9. I'm not as concerned with how they look, although I love the colors-- to me it's all about how they feel. Ahhhh. I also use removable orthotics; I've only had these about a month but there is no problem with that yet.

I love these sneakers. I recently came down with foot problems that caused a great deal of pain. These sneakers were great and I bought several more pairs after this one

I got these because I read all the reviews and how amazing they are... so wrong! I got them and they felt amazing. Like pillows. A small amount tight across the top but it was so small I thought it would just stretch into my feet. After one day of wearing them, my feet were killing me. After two weeks of wearing them pain in the palm of my feet, in my arches and the sole. And after a month or so of wearing them daily, I was completely going over on them. They had no support and my feet where in constant pain. The the price, my feet should have felt like clouds but nowhere near. I wrote Zappos and boy-oh-boy did Zappos do right by me. Love Zappos! The shoes... :( so sad cause they are so pretty. Specially for the price - what a rip-off.

Too tight! too narrow. Sending back for next size up. Hope they honor the sale price.

I loved my last pair of Hokas. Unfortunately the new Hoaks have a piece of uncomfortable material that feels like plastic in the lace up area. Really rubs the wrong way! Back they go!

Like other reviewers here, these work really well for me. The toe box is roomy, the shoe has a firm, springy sole but they don't feel heavy, they breathe well, and with the laces I can adjust fit easily. The Hoka aesthetic isn't for everyone certainly, but I enjoy the fun, bright colors and white soles (hey, everyone should own at least one pair of shoes with a sense of humor). I can tell after some short (2-mile, urban) walks that these will be my favorites for a while. I also balked at the price like other reviewers here, but find they are well worth the money, and seem quite durable.

i swear to u , i dont even want to take them off to go to bed.. love the support, the comfortable foot room; im on my feet for 12 hr shifts and these take the cake. im going to have closet full of them. alysse
