Customer Reviews Hoka Ora Recovery Flip

I have arthritis in the big toe (Hallux rigidus) and the lowered heel/rocker sole does a really good job at keeping me pain free, strap is loose enough and does not touch my bone spur. Hoka tends to run and narrow and these are no different. I have a wide foot and after having them on a few hours I need to take them off. Other than that, they are very comfortable. Have been wearing them indoors and outdoors. Make them a bit wider, I'll order more.

I buy a new pair of the Hoka Flip every year, but they’ve made them about 1 size smaller and much narrower. Same thing with the slides. I don’t know why they’d do that. I got a pair for my MIL and she had the same issue. So beware order a size up.

The sole of the sandal was well fitted, but the toe thong and instep strap were too big. The sandals fell off my feet. Really sad. I was very much looking forward to these being my go-to sandals.

I ordered an 8 to start- fits comfortably; however, the toe strap is a little loose. I ordered a size 9 and received a size 8. Returned, ordered another size 9 and it is basically the same as the size 8- a tiny bit longer up front. Heel still sits at the end of the shoe. Toe area even more loose. Returned the size 9 and I am done. I will stick with my Hoka tennis shoes and find some other supporting flip flop.

These are less cool and less comfortable than i thought. I have the recovery slides, which i love.

Straps are way too wide.

the strap between the toes was not tight enough to hold flip flop in place.

I’m usually a 10.5. The 10 was too small.

Straps way too loose, even though I have an extra wide foot, so my feet were falling out of these. Other reviewers say the same, but I had to see for myself. Great cushioning, hope Hoka will fix this issue!

I do not understand how the exactly same model of shoes, the same size, the same company, after two years since I bought first pair, are smaller about 1/2 inches? Why size 9, two years ago was different than size 9 in 2025. I am very disappointed that the size does not match what was originally. So I had to return.

The flip is fine except I am not sure why part of the attachment to the bottom is made of a different material which cause discomfort when wearing it. I had to return the flip for that reason.

I wish these had worked for me, but they are VERY wide and lose. if they fit properly, they seem like they would be extremely comfortable. They are also light weight. The length, toe to heel, was about right, but they are SO wide. I walked right out of them.
