I tried the 10 and the 9. The 10 was way too big and the 9 pinched my upper feet. I had to send both back.

They're comfortable but left thong is painful, will try to improve it. The right side sandal is perfect.

I love my Hoka athletic shoes (size 10 wide) so I decided to try these (in size women's 10) to replace a pair of worn out flip flops. The sandal is very comfortable with the exception of the toe strap. The design and cut of the strap is very different from traditional flip flops. I am not sure if this is an attempt to make the sandal appear more feminine but it caused the sharp edges of the strap to cut into the tops and sides of my feet - very uncomfortable. I did some research and found that the "men's" version has a traditional toe strap so I tried them instead and they are wonderful - the strap does not bother my foot at all and they fit the width of my foot better as well. The "men's" version actually has unisex sizing (men 8 / women 10) printed on the sandal - I am not sure why they don't advertise it on the website.

I have purchases 3 pair of this style. This particular pair are smaller than the others and may be mis-marked. They are shorter and narrower than others of same style and size.

I have 4 pairs of the thong style recovery slides and love all of them. I wear them to Disney (no problem doing 25,000+ steps in them) and everywhere with 0 issues. But these particular black ones HURT! Weird, because I have them in the grey and they’re fine right out of the box. The black ones, not the case. The strap where your big toe and second toe go, OMG! It’s sharp and hurts! I received the WORST blister ever, and that was 2 weeks ago, and it’s still bad! I sadly have to return them and now can’t wear them to Disney this weekend (or any other thong for that matter)...very annoying and very unhappy. BTW, on other sites, I’ve read the same thing. And someone actually suggested taking a pumice cube and filing it down...yeah, I’m gonna do that to a $50+ pair of thongs. No thanks. If Hokas don’t fit immediately out of the box, return them!!

I had to post this review. I am a big Hoka fan relying on my Clifton every day after battling with a grueling plantar fasciitis for 2 years now. I also have the old recovery flip model which is amazing
The new model for flip has an unbelievable uncomfortable strap who cuts into the skin between toes and is unbearable to walk in.
Hoka designers pls fix this issue!
The 3 stars are for the soles which are AMAZING as all Hoka soles are.

Everything was good EXCEPT the part that goes through your toes. The cloth toes strap felt flimsy and floppy. I prefer a rubber toe strap

They run small and the band sits way back on you foot not like regular flip flops I didn't like that it rubbed my inner arch. So I have decided to return them. I love the sneakers they are amazing the design of the flip flops needs rethinking of the strap placement. I they change that design I will definitely reorder.

I ordered these and the slides and was going to return the flip flops because the slides were more comfortable. I decided to keep them and wish I didn’t because after wearing for a few days the tops have stretch out and so they kind of flop around. They are definitely not as stable walking as the slides.

The thong is rough. I returned them before I did not like the feel of the abrasion. Too bad, because other than that, they seemed to be very comfortable. I liked the thickness and spongy feeling. They need to improve the thong.

Love the brand but the old style fit better. I got a blister after wearing one time because of the toe strap

Haven't notice any change in my plantar fasciitis. Also the trim on the top of the sandal is very sharp. It put a slice on the side f my second toe.

The stitched, thick toe divider never got comfortable even with a moleskin wrap. Sent them back to see if a size larger makes a difference (!?), hope so because the footbed has the arch support I have to have to avoid night time foot pain!

So comfortable!!! However, it is August and i've only had since april and the between the toe material has separated so that moisture gets trapped and can't be properly dried out.

The top strap that goes across your foot was like a razor to me. The left shoe. fit but the right shoe made my heel turn out of the sole area. I ended up returning these as I was fearful of a broken foot

I wear them at the pool. But they have fallen apart after less than a month since I received them. I'm very unhappy about that. A $50 purchase should last very long.

These are definitely run to the exact whole size. I’m a 6-6.5. These were 6’s. If you are a 1/2 size, they aren’t great because of the back lip . The triangle material is sharp on the edges. These are more like sub $20 flip flops even with the Hoka sole. I have Hoka running shoes and expected more for the price and from them. Returning them.

I have worn these sandals for one day.....the bottom of my feet feel great.....BUT....the rest of my foot hurts ?? I bought these sandals to help with planter fasciitis. The sandal feels good to walk in..... but the top of the sandal is made out of the cheapest material possible, ruff edges and I have blisters everywhere. If you can wear black socks with these sandals...you might be able to wear them...very dorky, but that’s what I’m doing. I may keep these just to wear around the house, ?

The foot bed is extremely comfortable after standing and walking 12 hours in ICU. Unfortunately due to the large, uncomfortable and even painful throng I am unable to wear these flip flops.
I have and will recommend these shoes based on the comfort of the foot bed while warning about the large throng.

Too loose.....no way to tighten the strap. They felt spongy to me but my daughter LOVES them. I have to return just because of the strap.

I love how comfortable the bottoms are but I can't even wear these for 15 minutes before my toes are killing me. The material used for the top has very sharp edges and it cuts into my toes. Not sure if this will change (maybe the material is just stiff because they are new or if it's just my feet) if not they will be going back. So sad, I wanted the comfort.

As soon as I took two steps in these sandals I wanted to rip them off my feet. It feels like somebody is trying to saw off my big toe with a steak knife. The plastic upper strap is folded in two and stitched together to form that piece that goes between the toes. The piece is very hard and sharp, promises instant blisters. In any other case I'd put these in the box and send them straight back to Zappos, but I bought them for the extra cushioning and sole shape which came highly recommended by my podiatrist. I will try to modify them with some mole skin an hope for the best.
On the plus side, the medium width in these shoes is ample enough for my wider fit. The soles do feel very good, very soft cushioning. The foam seems extremely light for the size, makes me wonder if it will be durable, but this manufacturer is known for it's lightweight shoes so I may be mentally stuck in a lightweight equals cheap paradigm.

I am just recovering from plantar fasciatis and wanted a light shoe for the summer. These flip-flops are light and very comfortable, my heel felt no pain while trying them on . But I did not feel a good enough support in them, the straps are quite flimsy and slim and did not look like they would hold up for very long.
Therefore I decided to return them. Too bad, I really like my other Hoka's and think it is a great brand.

this is the most comfortable footbed in a sandal I have ever worn. But the thong is stiff and rough and caused blisters within one hour.
