I have 4 pair of Hoka Recovery Flips. It’s the only flip flop that is comfortable for my Hallux rigidus. These black ones are different and not in a good way. They’re cut smaller, my feet slip around on them and they are not as soft. I will be exchanging them for another color and will hope for the best.

The flip flop felt slippery to me and did not fit my foot well. How ever I love the Clifton 9 shoes!

The sole of the flip flop was perfect size and nice and cushiony. The straps across the top were so loose, that the shoe fell off as I walked. I thought maybe I had bought a wide shoe by mistake, but I didn't.

I have the recovery slides in size 9. I ordered the flip in size 9.
I couldn't believe the difference in sizing. Sent back the 9's for 10's and although they are the same length as the 9 slides. They are sadly too big in the strap that comes across the top of the foot. So much so, they fall off my feet.
I also noticed that the rocker is not as defined in the flip as the slide.
I am returning the flip for a slide. I'm disappointed in the Hoka flip.

Would have liked to like these, but they are unwearable. They feel good to stand in, but something is wrong with the strap design, leave you unable to walk. It's way to loose and I have a thick foot. Foot of foot has no stability and slides all over. Gave to someone else and they also couldn't wear. Too bad, hard to find sandals with good arch support

I was excited to get these because I love my old ones and the new colors were very appealing. However, they've changed the strap over the top of the foot so that it's lower, more restrictive. It also is more narrow across the midfoot and where the straps connect to the shoe. Finally, and the most insufferable part which made me return them, the thong part that goes between the toes is harsh, sharp on the sides, rubs painfully. I tried walking around in them for a bit to see if I could get used to them but they were just too painful to wear.

I LOVED this Flip but the thong (between the toes) was too long and the strap was too loose. My foot was moving all around in them. And I have WIDE feet.. This was a size 6- I must have stability. Loved the look, cushion and everything else. so disappointed. :/

This is the second year I have purchased these flip flops and it's the same issue. I want to first say flip flops are my go to sandal in the summer for 30+yrs. Merrill were my go to brand but their quality has gone down so I was on the search for new brand. Since I love my HOKA sneakers, I assumed these would be just as great. I don't know who designed these but they failed when making the cloth fabric that goes between your toes too short! The part where the plastic from the top is stitched to the fabric is wider than the fabric so the seams rub against the insides of your toes causing rubbing pain drawing blood. I ordered the end of winter and didn't try until recently so I missed the return window. I have had to wrap bandaids around the plastic part in order to wear! It's a simple fix that would make all the difference and make them perfect!

I have worn oofos for a few years now, but they seemed to make the neuropathy in my toes & balls of feet worse due to the hump at the ball of the foot. So I decided to try these shoes. I like the foot bed, but the straps are very loose on my feet & the material has cut the top of my 2nd toe and on top of my foot. I'm not sure if I should have bought a size smaller, but it was the same as my oofos and the length of foot on the chart. I'm hoping the material will soften as I wear them more. Right now I have to use bandaids between toes. I'm not sure I'll buy these again.

The Hoka Era Recovery Flip was huge on my foot. I would have needed a huge swollen foot to keep it from falling off.

I purchased Hoka Walking Sneakers and love them so I thought I'd try the sandals. After wearing them a total of about 12 hours they stretched so much they would not stay on my feet while walking. I returned them. I still strongly endorse Hoka footwear and their customer service, just not these sandals.

Love this shoe and the way it feels on my feet. However, the strap is too large making it very loose on my foot. In other words, the shoe is too wide for me.

I had high hopes for the Ora Flip size 8, but am returning them. The cushioning is not as plush as the Ora Slide 2, and the strap is too low for my foot to slide all the way in. I don't know if sizing up would help. For reference I normally wear a 7.5 in the Clifton's and an 8 in the Ora Slides.

The length fit great, almost perfectly but the strap was too loose and unfortunately there wasn't any way to tighten it. They fall off my feet when not trying to hold on to the shoe with my toes. I'm disappointed the straps were too loose and can't really wear them.

These are way too wide for my average width foot- I can't even keep them on when walking. Also, the grooves on footbed feel uncomfortable to me. I was so excited for these but sadly they are unwearable for me and will need to be returned. Length is true to size or slightly long.

At first I was excited opening the package. The color is pretty and they look great. They are comfortable but really do not offer the arch support that I expected. After walking around the house in them half a day. I began to have pain in my arch area. I previously purchased another brand but was drawn to the color options at Hoka. Needless to say I need the support more than being cute, so I'll be going back to my usual brand. Sorry Hoka it's a no for me

I have worn Hoka sandals for years now, have told every friend I have how wonderful they are & that this is the only sandal I ever wear. This year all these new colors come out so I ordered my usual size 10 in 5 of the colors. I get 4(1 was back ordered) and they are too small, I was heartbroken, so I send them all back to get size 11 in all. Well the 11 is too big. I have gotten blisters after wearing them all day . They just flop too much! Why did the size change, I'm so disappointed.

I bought these with high hopes. I wear a size 8 in all other HOKA shoes. I was not able to slide my food into the shoe, they ended up being sent back. I did get a pair of slides that fit just fine.

Needed a pair of recovery shoes after a foot surgery. My friend let me borrow her slides, these weren’t anything like hers. These were not as cushioned. The part that goes in between your toes is like a rope. It hurts. These had to be returned. I bought the Ora luxe, they are amazing.

The strap was way too big you’re just asking to roll your ankle and I have wide feet. I can only imagine a person with narrow feet. The bottom is not squishy at all it’s quite hard. Retuned. Bought my husband some mens and same thing.

I wanted so badly to love these and use them all summer. I read other reviews they said it cuts the top of your foot but wanted to try them out anyway. Turns out it happened to me as well! Sadly having to go back.

I'm a 7.5D in Hoka's sneakers and a 7 in their Slides. I purchased the Flip Flops in a 7 as well, but the toe post is set so far back that my heels hang over the back of the sandals and leaves empty space in front of my toes, which makes walking awkward. I exchanged them for a size 8, but the new pair also had the same issue with the toe post. My heels were no longer hanging off of the back of the footbed, there was still too much empty space left in front of my toes. I will unfortunately be returning.
