Customer Reviews Hoka Hupana

These shoes were great when I first bought them. They eliminated midfoot pain I was experiencing and they felt so great that I ordered a second pair. After about 3 weeks and a 5 mile run, the entire rest of my foot started hurting. First, the inside of my midfoot, where the insole meets the inside of the shoe, started to get raw, to the point of blistering. Then the whole outside of my feet, then the arch. It got so bad that I took the insoles out for the last 2 miles of an 8-mile run. I tried to just wear them for casual wear and my feet couldn't take it. I had probably only run about 60 miles in these shoes and they felt like they just broke down. If I slipped my foot in the newer shoes, it felt was super cushioned, but the original shoe just felt flat and completely uncomfortable. I'm pretty bummed they didn't work out.

I really love Hokas. I have several pairs. I tried this shoe 3 different ways, 3 sizes. I could not get a good fit. This shoe ran a full size longer/wider than my Bondi 5's. Tried a regular and it felt "too light" no support. When I tried the wide I swam in it both in my regular size and a half size smaller. I will stick with Bondi 5 for now.

I love the look of these and bought them to have a pair of shoes that I use exclusively at the gym for studio strength and cardio classes. They are light and comfortable but they have no traction. I've never worn shoes that are so slippery before and since I've worn them, now own them. There is such little traction that my feet even slip using the elliptical. I wouldn't recommend these for any type of cardio workout except maybe on a treadmill and walking outside on a sidewalk.

Find it very interesting, that I submitted a review a couple of days ago... sadly it was unfavorable,, and yet, it doesn't show up in the list of reviews.. Clearly, you have chosen to show only those favorable to you.. which can be very misleading to customers. Might want to reconsider being a little more transparent.

The 9.5 was huge on me, which I normally wear in a running shoe. I sized down to a 9. I was concerned that it would be too tight and narrow to run in but I tried any way. I was right. I got blisters on the outer toe on both sides.

I have been purchased this shoe many times. This particular shoe, however, runs narrow and is uncomfortable. I am very disappointed.

Very expensive, and uncomfortable.

I have worn the Bondi style for several years. Was looking for something different for wearing around the house but same comfort as my Bondi...no comparison, sent them back.

Awesome helping with my planter factitious

my Dr. recommended this shoe which I purchased but then the shoe was too narrow, spoke to a Hoka representative and they said they would send the shoe in a wide, didn't happen.

Extremely uncomfortable from the very first step. Felt as if there was a bar pressing down on the top of my foot when I walked.

Haven't used since returned for exchange.

Material is not as flexible as it appears in pictures. Too tight on feet and material does not give.

This is the only brand of shoe a nurse should buy. However, I will purchase in store as the customer service is extremely poor via this site.

Don't purchase. After worn a couple of times very thin back and sides. Severe blisters both heels and ball of foot. Not comfortable at all.

These shoes were recommended to me to help with Achilles tendonitis but they did not seem to help at all. I returned them.

I bought these to go to Europe, lots of walking, wanted basic black to go wth travel clothes. I even choose a size bigger to account for foot swelling. They are too narrow on sides and on top. They are light.

Very stiff with no cushion. Painful near the joint of the big toe. I was really hoping these would be a good shoe for me.

i love the clifton 5 but this shoe was a disappointment. Ran very large

I bought these shoes because my foot doctor recommended them. The shoes were not accommodating enough to put my foot and orthodics in even after i took out the hoka insoles.

I had to return these shoes as I found the front too long for my foot - it was way over my instep.

I have really tried to make the shoes work, but they hurt my feet too bad.

They were recommended to me by an Orthopedic specialist. The first week and a half the shoes were ok. Then both my feet started hurting. After 2 weeks of wearing them every day, as instructed, I could hardly walk and had severe pain in my right heel. It was my left foot that hurt when I purchased the shoes!

The heel does not fit snug and sits lower on my heel.

The Hoka brand was recommended by my foot doctor. When I got them, I felt imbalanced and rocked back and forth. I didn't feel stable and confident. I have only worn them a few times and wish I would have bought a running shoe.
