Customer Reviews Hoka Tracer 2

Took these on an 8 mile run brand new! Amazing!! Feels like Im running on clouds!

I've been a happy customer of Hoka One One Running and Cross Training Shoes. Tracers. are my go-to's ! They have an unassuming look but a beautiful fit. I feel like each step propels me forward on my very own ! I've never once had a blister or tender spitball on my foot from the moment they come out of the box. I Road run in these and highly recommend

I am very happy I finally found a pair of sneakers for my flat feet. I've tried many and nothing had worked for me. I am on my feet a lot and I know my feet are thanking me.

I used to be a loyal Brooks-wearer through and through, but it was this pair of Hokas that changed me. I am an avid runner for 10+ years and did an Ironman last year, so I was looking for a shoe that was light weight, yet provided a bit more cushion. I came from wearing Brooks Launch, which is a neutral and pretty minimal shoe, and it was not cutting it during my 20 mile runs. When I bought the tracer, it was instant love. Even on the very first run, they felt awesome. Light, springy, yet responsive. Now for the sizing: 99% of the time I am a size 8 in running shoes, but this is the first time I needed to go for a half size smaller and get the 7.5. Perfect. My only complaint is the color: the gray and peachy-orange is kinda ugly. Wishing they would come out with cuter colors...

I bought the Tracer 2 for the roads and the track, and it serves me well on both of these surfaces. It feels light yet cushioned enough. Makes me feel like a gazelle!

This is my all time favorite shoe! I've done all kinds of different races from the 5-k's to the quarter marathon to the half and this shoe has filled the bill for all of them. My feet feel fantastic after long runs! Please keep this shoe Hoka, it is the best!!

Running for about 3yrs now, training for a full marathon. I tried Bondi5, Bondi6, Arahi, Clifton, couple of Nike Epic Reacts - heel/toe lock technique, all gave me blisters and callus! I never really found a shoe that doesn't give me blisters (tip of 5th toe and ball of big toe) until I tried Tracer2. No breaking in needed. Ran 10miles and kept going. I wear size 7.5 on my other Hoka, but had to size up to an 8 on this one. Not as plush as the Bondi, but still comfortable to run with. Noticed my pace got faster. There is only one color, i do hope they make more because i plan to stock up on these.

I'm currently moving from 5 and 10 Ks to half and full marathon training and needed a shoe with a little more cushioning and support than the fairly minimalist shoes I had been running in. I emailed Hoka and asked their recommendation, since I don't live anywhere near a running store. This is the shoe they recommended, and it really fits the bill. It is FAST while having enough cushioning that I really don't feel like stopping after a long run. I think it has plenty of cushioning to use as a daily trainer on medium and long runs. Someone accustomed to a more cushioned shoe may disagree, but it is plenty for me. What amazed me when I checked my running metrics afterwards was that both my cadence and stride length had increased by quite a lot, without me having made any effort in that direction. I set out to just run the way I run, without any effort to work on form or try to increase turnover, and see what happened. What happened was an unintentional improvement. Plus, my heart rate had decreased while my pace increased. I have a V-shaped foot and found the fit in the forefoot perfect. It was just a little bit looser than I would like in the heel, but I have a normal forefoot and narrow heels, and prefer a tight fit all over. I am indifferent to color in running shoes, and would have bought them whatever their color, but I do appreciate the inoffensive grey/melon/yellow color scheme. And incidentally, if you like the Tracer and are looking for a trail shoe, try the Torrent. And vice versa.

This is my favorite Hokalow profile, low at the toe, lightweight.

Good shoes

This is my second pair of Hola shoes. I had a more supportive pair for working out and just had ACL surgery. So I bought a new pair of Hokas. I love them! I wear them to physical therapy each day.

Overall a light, flexible, cushioned and comfortable shoe for running and everything else. Love it.

I have always hated running, but recently got into doing triathlons (lifelong swimmer and cyclist so it was inevitable). I have been trying to do everything I can to get into running, and now that I have these Tracer 2s I have to say I've been running without even thinking about it. I look forward to putting them on and going fast for long runs which is something I never thought I'd say. Saving up for another pair! Best shoe my foot has ever known!!

I actually wear these shoes to work. I work In the surgery department at a large hospital. My feet and legs don't hurt after a long shift. I plan on purchasing another pair for running/exercise.

Aching feet were reducing the joy of running. Because of positive reviews I heard and read we decided to try Hoka. Both my husband and I love our new running shoes. No more pain!

These are great on my knees and keep me running fast.

I just won a race in these shoes! Best shoes for any distance racing and training! Will be buying many more! Very light and responsive with enough cushion for the long hall!!!! Thanks Hoka!

Always hesitant about Hoka because of the high heel. Thought the Tracer would be a good first step. Didn't have the wobbly perception that I feared. Love running in them. My go to shoe now

I bought this shoe to train for my first half marathon. These shoes are wonderfully lightweight but sturdy enough for my longer runs. In the past I've had issues with toenails turning black and falling off, but not with this shoe!

I've cycled through many training shoes lately and the W Tracer 2 is the most comfortable and supportive shoe I've owned in a long time. I have flat feet and wear orthotics and my feet are adequately supported in don't hurt in this shoe. I like that it is also lightweight and when I'm on a long walk or taking a kinetics class my feet do not tire or ache.

They are abgreat running sneaker
