Customer Reviews Hoka Ora Recovery Flip

I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis for the last few months. Post run heel pains are something which make me limp for 2 days after the runs. I bought this flip as I though it would give me some relief and help me recover faster. I have used it 2-3 times after long runs but it hardly makes a difference.

About a half to full size too long. Straps are too loose as well. I wear a 12 and it fits, but I would not wear it walking outside around too much besides short distances as it is sloppy. The rubber straps are super thin and feel cheap also. The sole is thick and the straps need to be heavier to match the thickness of the sole. Advice: shorten the length about a half size and tight up the straps.

I really like how the soles of my feet feel in these flip flops. But the top of my foot where the thing goes rubs and gave me a bruise on the top of my foot. Very painful. Disappointing.

I have 2 Bondi 8's, 1 Bondi 9, 2 Gaviota's 5 and 6 so obviously I love the sneakers for my Morton's Neuroma. When I tried on the Ora Recovery Flip it was very uncomfortable and whereas all my other pairs are a 10, the 10 was too large. I wear Oofos and I find the immensely more comfortable and afford me the support I need. Sorry I tried to go all out Hoka but it didn't work out.

Hoka really dropped the ball on these. Comfort wasn't there and the thing piece between the toe had sharp edges! Could not stand to even wear around the house and sent them back. Was super bummed!

I am a loyal customer. The shoes have great cushioning. However the component in between the toes needs to be redesigned as it cuts that area.

Owned these a few m9nths wore maybe a dozen times and the middle part for the toes pulled out away from sandal. Comfortable while they lasted but poor manufacturing

Ordered the same size as my Hoka shoes and found that these flips run almost a full size off. Tried to exchange and support was a living nightmare. Better try these on in person if you want to make sure they fit at all.

They are comfortable but fell apart in a couple of month.

I expected so much more. Hoka shoes are so comfy, these are the opposite of comfy. No arch support and it feels like you are walking on concrete barefoot while wearing them. Very disappointed.

I absolutely LOVED these flip flops. They are so comfortable. I have had planters fasciitis. So now I only wear Hoka's. Unfortunately, the strap going across my first (powder blue), pair cracked then Broke. The other flip flop started to crack. My second set of the flip flops were also powder blue. Once again, after about 3 months, they BOTH started to crack. Eventually leading to one of them breaking completely. I thought (hoped), it was just with the powder blue flip flops. So I bought a 3rd pair. Dark blue with a black bottom. Wrong. Less than 3 months later, they both started to crack. Since that time, Hoka has cut way back on them. They only offer 2 colors. I just absolutely love these flip flops way they feel. I just wish they could FIX the strap issue. Please! Then announce the newer better flip flop! I'd love to buy another pair. I'm just waiting for a FIX, to the issue.

Have had seven months. Soles still very hard. No cushion as I was expecting them to have. Very, very disappointed.

I have had three pairs of these. Loved them. But each pair broke after a few months. I returned two pairs. Hoka now says they will no longer honor the warranty. They sent me a very uninformative email with no real reason. The strap between the toes is poorly constructed and can pop out. It has happened to three pairs while I wear them. I also wear Hoka running shoes. I'm done. With a refusal to honor the warranty (I've owned this pair for well under a year), I can no longer do business with this company.

The straps are way too tall on these sandals. They seem like they would be great otherwise, but they won't even stay on my feet. Very disappointing.

Two pairsloved the fit and comfort. But both pairs did not last because the thong part broke. Great shoeif it lasted.

Thong part of the flip flop was not comfortable at all, had to return.

The stub that goes between the toes has stitching that's very rough and scratches on the skin. The thread used for stitches is either poor quality or stitch workmanship is very poor. I am surprised the quality check team couldn't catch such a basic quality issue. I had big hopes from his HOKA produce because I use HOKA shoes all the time and love them. But this product was a huge disappointment

Not comfortable. Painful to wear. Edges of this design cuts into the top of my feet and immediately caused a cut to the top of both feet. Also fit is very loose. The don't stay on the feet and slide around or fall off easily.

I have purchased five pairs of these flip-flops and they never last longer than six months. That's considering I only wear them at the gym. Would rate zero stars if that was an option!

These would be great sandals if the strap wasn't so poorly designed. Foot bed is very comfortable and fits well, but the straps are WAY too big. My Hoka running shoes fir perfectly and feel great, but these are awful due to strap design fail. Returned them, will buy again, if they ever fix the straps.

The thong between the toes is really abrasive and painful. Even wrapping duct tape around it did not minimize the pain and irritation of the skin.

The soles are great cushy, rocking motion, supportive arch but the upper is lacking. The seam of the upper is rather sharp and rubs your foot and separates from itself right away. I tried to keep going with them despite this, but then the toe strap pulled all the way out mid step. Disappointed especially at this price point and because I love my Hoka work shoes.

I am a Hoka fan. You will see my history of purchases. I bought them for my nephew and sent them to the Philippines last April 22, 2025. It didn't take a week and the strap broke. I am very disappointed with this style.
