Feels great but need Wide and it should be perfect

Throws my foot into pronation and knee into valgus and i felt as if my foot was falling off the medial edge of the sole even when I replaced the insoles with a higher arch and metatarsal bubble.

I am on my feet at work 8-15 hrs a day. I have struggled with plantar fasciitis which has become severe heel pain. I have very high arches and tight Achilles tendons. This shoe felt like a God sent when I tried it on but on the 1/2 car ride to work, my feet were falling asleep, toes number. Loosened laces so it wouldn't happen and my foot is sloshing around in them. After a few hours of work, severe sciatic pain I have not had in years and fatigued arches and foot cramping. Thank goodness I brought my old shoes with all my devices to get through the next 8 hrs of work. Needless to say I went to podiatrist and he told me to get these shoes and now I am in worse pain then when I went.

I got these for every day use, mainly for walking and standing. I ordered the blue flowery patterned ones and the look of the shoe is beautiful, I love the design. However, the front part of the shoe is very stiff and it rubs and bends into the front top part of my feet as I walk, which is very uncomfortable and painful. I thought maybe they had to be broken in so I tried going for a walk in them but it was just too painful. The size is definitely correct so that's not the issue. I don't understand how anybody could find these comfortable. Maybe it's just the blue flowery ones that have this problem?

The sole is great! I love the curve design and the fact that it helps propel you forward, however the material of the rest of this shoe has absolutely no support at all. The material is similar to a regular sneaker, not a running shoe.

I'm a regular runner with varying distances (long runs 10 plus) and just switched from Conquest 2. Unfortunately I couldn't complete 1 mile without developing a blister on the outsides of my feet. The new insert is very narrow. Otherwise I LOVE Hokas! These were returned :(
