Customer Reviews Hoka Hupana

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.

Not a comfortable shoe. This was my 12th pair of various Hoka shoes. These were the worst. Toe box is too narrow and cushioning was non existent.

I was very disappointed with these shoes. I have a narrow foot, but even so, the shoe tongue is either too narrow and/or doesn't have enough padding. The shoe lace eye rubs the head of my metatarsal so much that it is painful and I cannot run and/or walk in these shoes.

I bought these sneakers 6/28/2017 after my husband swore by them. Well the first time I wore them my feet felt on fire, then they started to feel numb. Not sure what was going on. After I finished my 3 mile run, I was about 1 mile from my home. I was in such pain I had to take the sneakers off and walk home in my socks. I chalked it up to ease into them to get used to them. I've run with them only about 4 times and I was having the same issues. Not as severe as the first time. I wore them yesterday again and the same thing happened as my initial run. I could not walk. The numbness and cramping were truly unbearable. I contacted Hoka about the 30 day guarantee. Be warned that only applies if you order directly from them. I am very disappointed. I spent all that money and can not wear the sneakers and Hoka in my opinion is not standing behind their product if sold in retail stores.

I bought these after reading a great review in Runner's World and because of their reputation as the lightest/fastest/least cushioned Hoka, which would still be more cushioning than I'm used to. I was looking for more cushion but not too much, and that part was not an issue. But I was shocked by how stiff the upper fabric was over the toes, especially because reviewers described it as "breathable." It felt like they sprayed hard plastic on it. So when you walk or run and bend your foot, the fabric bunches up and digs in to the tops of your toes. It was painful just walking around the store. Everyone I showed it to in the store felt this plastic upper and agreed with me. It's not like the other Hokas, which do not have this problem. I exchanged it for a Clayton and the Clayton is fine so far although heavier and wider than I like. To be fair, now that I've read that most people find that the Hupana runs large, maybe my usual size was too large. This would account for extra fabric in the upper, but not for that hard plastic spray-on which made it really dig in painfully. I don't understand why no one else has mentioned this. Perhaps I just got a defective pair.

Too tight and narrow. Not comfortable at all! I was really looking for a comfortable running shoe.
