Customer Reviews Hoka Hupana 2

I like these for gym workouts. I needed something that would not stick to the floor doing workouts that requires movement that u need to spin on the ball of your foot. I wear these to do Cathe Fredrick DVDs. For this shoe I Ordered my normal size. I had to size up for the Challengers.

I was skeptical to buy these at first even with the average 4 star reviews. Several people said these ran narrow and had a tight toe box area. I discovered that these shoes took a bit longer to break in than normal. The toe box originally felt odd and tight. After about 2.5 hours of walking they loosened up nicely and are comfortable. Also, if you have even slightly wide feet, these probably won't work for you. I have regular width feet and if they were any tighter they would be too narrow. I give these shoes 4 stars because they aren't as good for running as I thought they would be. I find them to be a little more suited for casual wear/ lots of walking. For longer distance I would reccomend the "Gavotia" shoes, as they perfect for running/jogging.

Minimum support a little narrower than other Hokas. Good quality and lightweight.

Great for wearing all the time

I have only had for a month, but wore them before my trip and then every day for 2 weeks while I was exploring China. They needed to be washed when I got back due to the uncleanliness of the restrooms there. I have washed many running shoes in the past, including other Hokas and never had a problem. For some reason, during the wash the toe part lifted from the fabric of the shoe on one of them. I am not happy about it and I haven't received any feedback yet when I reached out to customer service.

I wear these in the gym mostly, lifting weights, circuit training, walking, but not much else. My only issue with Hupana is they tend to get stinky quickly. I've washed them a few times and they are still stinky. I contacted Hoka to see if they sell insoles separately and unfortunately they don't. Any suggestions appreciated.

Absolutely love this shoe. Good arch support, great cushion, easy walking fir the ankle. Only wish it came in wide

Had terrible pain in my arches after wearing these and pain in my big toenail. Wear 9.5 in most Hoka these seem to run small.

the fit is great and they are very comfortable.

i ordered this shoe for indoor gymnasium use (aerobic/cardio). The shoe is fabulous and I love it, except the sole has zero grip. It was literally like I was ice skating and the floor was so slippery. I wish they made this same shoe, but with even a bit of sole traction, even the slightest would be nice. Instead, the sole reminds me of when rubber gets old, it's just hard, dense and smooth.

I like the sneaker and actually wear it for work. I would like to try a style with more cushioning, however. This is my first purchase of a HOKA sneaker.

When they changed the Cliftons I switched over to these. A very light shoe with a responsive feel to it. I like these a lot and would buy another pair. Only con is that the shoelaces are pretty short and make it difficult to lace how I normally like.

I like the Arahi. I was last a Challenger customer though & do like the medial to heel support better. I knew the shoes had different qualities, but chose not to get the Challenger this year after reports of the sole peeling away from the shoe after minimal usage. I had heard this from on-line reviews, as well as store salespeople whom I had checked with - not good. There needs to be more rigid QA testing.

Good shoe for travel, light weight and great for tours not long hikes.

These were well worth it for my arthritis pain. The traction is wonderful, as i am a swim coach and on a pool deck all the time. I was worried about using these for cross training at the gym, but so far I am thoroughly impressed!! I also get compliments on them wherever I go!

I like the shoes but my big toes hurts .

It felt like my feet had to work way to hard. Couldn't find contact with the ground. Exchanging them for a different style.

This is my second pair of Hoka One One. I have the Clifton that I use for the treadmill and elliptical and the Arahi for weight training. I am new to Hoka One One and absolutely love the cushioning that these shoes provide. The colors are fun and it makes me want one in every shade. I work out daily in a home gym complete with everything and find great support and comfort especially while on the elliptical for an hour. I have never worn a workout shoe with such great support and have every step feel as if you were walking on feathers. I heard about this brand from my podiatrist. He has it on his list of shoes that he recommends for sports, working out and daily comfort. I highly recommend these shoes and encourage any person who works out to give them a try. Will not be disappointed. Also great for everyday wear.

These shoes are very comfortable but incredibly squeaky! They are fine when I'm running (and wearing headphones) but walking they are embarrassing!

Great for training- has good support without feeling heavy or bouncy.

I have diabetic neuropathy and these are great! Plus I love that they look cool and give me height!

I have a torn plantar plate. My doctor said they would stabilize my foot. Because I am an A width, they don't stabilize as much as I would like. Even with my custom made orthotic my shoes are too wide.

The shoes are very comfortable and light! was dissapointed when part of the traction tread on the ball of the shoe came unglued after only 10 days.....

I run marathons, and I decided to give these a try, mostly because my legs were needing more and more recovery time after each race or long distance run. But my legs feel fresher every run. The only thing I had to get use to was the height of the shoe and how it slightly changed the way I run/use my legs-not in a bad way-but more efficient I suppose?
