Customer Reviews Hoka Stinson ATR 4

Overall a great purchase. Felt about a half size smaller than the Bondi 5’s.

I got these wonderful shoes because of the wide toe box and the trail description. They are wonderfully comfortable but the sole is not that great on gravel - I found myself slipping a lot. I love everything else about them.

Seems like a great shoe but they've widened the toe box so much even I, who need a wide toe box, found I didn't have enough stability in the forefoot. The turquoise can be seen from space, which is fun.

I am a 76 year old who has been wearing Hoka's for several years now and had settled on the Clifton, but last time I ordered new ones they felt tight and I returned them and decided to try the Stinson. They are comfortable, but really not attractive. They are much wider thru the toe box, which I figured would help my aching feet and that is true, but the appearance is a drawback. I had gotten used to the look of Hoka's, which are definitely not streamlined, but when you have aching feet you can live with that. Until the shoes start squeaking, constantly. I have no idea why. I have worn them mostly everyday (I like to walk) and they are fine for walking where I don't care how my feet look or as long as there are lots of sounds going around the immediate environment, but walking in the house or in the gym is another thing altogether. Don't even think about going to the movie theatre! I have hinted at my feet problems, which are numerous, and these work, but not I am not sure they are worth the sacrifice. I have osteoarthritis in my feet. I have had an ankle replacement and two new knees, so I am limited on my choices, but think I will go back to the Clifton for public use. I wanted to give you more perspective on my walking pattern. I do like to walk, but I am not an extreme walker. Due to my joint issues I usually stay under 3 miles a day for comfort.

Looked great but huge on my feet so I had to return them. The style is definitely funky (blue/boysenberry)!

I really wanted to love my new Stinsons. I’ve been running in old pair of Stinsons for way too long. These shoes are wide as others have said. They also made my toes numb as other have said. I had to loosen the laces way too stop the numbing. The cushion was great for me and at first I thought I liked them, but after a run my right foot hurt. It will hurt if I wear shoes that are to flexible or loose. It never hurts in my old Hokas. So, I Will continues to wear my old Hokas until they come out with Stinsons 5 sometime next year.

I agree with other customers comments on this shoe. For one, it rocks backward somewhat (heel is lower than forefoot). Two, it is not as cushy as one would think. There is cushion in forefoot, but not arch and heel. Makes for a much harder strike then I want. Three, my heel slips a little in this shoe for whatever reason. And four, which I don't think I saw comments on, the black decor strip going for tip of toe up through the tongue curls right in the middle and strikes the top of the toes when walking and running. It's not a game changer, but with all the other dislikes, it just adds to not keeping these shoes. I am going back to the Speedgoat. Thought I would try something different from Hoka One One. I think this shoe could be great with a few minor changes.

I loved how cushy these shoes were and it was just what I was looking for. However, along the arch and heel it was just a bit too narrow and the toe box was too wide. I also ordered the Hoka One One Arahi 2 and it wasn't as wide in the toe box and the width thru arch and heel was good. i think this shoe might have been a bit more cushy than the Arahi 2 but the Arahi 2 is still comfy too.

I ordered these quickly based on the fit of my previous Stinson style. Only after I questioned my imagination that this shoe was wider than my last Hoko One One Stinson did I realize from reviewers that the cut had changed. The shoe is very comfortable but the wide toe box is a bit distracting and odd looking. But comfort rules here, so these are shoes I intend to keep. I do, nevertheless, prefer the previous (#3) version and hope it comes back on the market.

Way too wide for me. I’m a regular width. Like the ATR Challenger much better.

I like the larger toe box but the sole is slippery on wet surfaces.
