Customer Reviews Hoka Hupana 2

Unfortunately, I had to return the shoes. They were too narrow.

feels tight i had to return them

I bought these in a size 8 when I am normally a size 7.5 based on the reviews of having a narrow toe area. The reviews were right the toes are narrow on these shoes however, they worked just fine sizing up half a size.

I bought these shoes for road running, and needed something built for 8+ mile runs. As someone with narrow feet and an arch, these for some reason gave me the worst blisters on my archesnot just once, but three times. I kept letting myself heal and tried to give them another go. It started with my right foot only, then both feet were experiencing the worst pressure points on my inside arch. These were otherwise, true to size and responsive.

Not enough cushion as my other pair of Hokas I own.

This shoe is very uncomfortable and too tight.

Narrow, and toe bed was too long. I got shin splints and numb toes from wearing.

I tried on a friend's Hokas in a size 8.5 and they felt amazing. Her pair were the Cliftons. When I saw this pair of Hupanas on sale, I jumped at the chance. Sadly, when they arrived they were WAY too tight. Silly me for assuming a size 8.5 would be the same across all Hoka shoes. These have to go back. And now I am unsure about trying Hokas again. They were pretty though

Heels slip, shoe rubs on the top of my foot, despite shoving a tennis ball in it to stretch it out.

These shoes fit long and narrow. I would need to go down a 1/2 size to get the proper length, but up at least a 1/2 size to get the right width. The material is very stiff feeling. This is not a shoe I would run in, but would've worn for casual wear if it had fit. I don't understand why Hoka is getting away from the roomy toebox they were known for.

I loved the look of this shoe and REALLY wanted it to work on my foot, but it was too soft under my orthotic and my feet started hurting within an hour or so. My 2 star rating is not meant as a criticism, the shoe is nice and well done. It just has a limit for who can wear it.

Too narrow and no cushion at all. I wanted to keep it but it was just too uncomfortable. i will exchange it with either Bondi or Elevon.

The sneakers were not comfortable. They had no cushion.

The black with the blue bottom does not look like the picture. The blue bottom is sky blue but the picture makes it look brighter and more like turquoise. Also, it was way too narrow in middle and towards the foot. It hurt so bad I had to go to another store and buy a pair to wear for the day just to get them off my feet.

I was disappointed with the fit of these shoes. I wanted to like them, because they are so much nicer looking than the other Hokas, but the eyelets in the top of the shoes poked into my feet and the uppers were stiff and uncomfortable.

I loved the shoe. It was very comfortable but after a while they started feeling tight. I have a foot condition called neuroma and I need a shoe with a wide width. Unfortunately HOKA does not have a great selection of shoes for women in wide, at least not in styles and colors I'm interested in buying.

Does not feel like I'm running on clouds just feels like all of my other running shoes that were half the price of these hokas

Unfortunately the shoe has a sharp seem inside the shoe that rubbed on the end of the top of your foot. So rather than enjoy a blister we returned

I got this product because of the cushion. Loved it when I tried it on in store and ran for a few minutes in the treadmill. But when I went for my first run on pavement, the arch in the right show rubbed so bad, it was unbearable after 1 mile. Went into the local running store where I bought the show, the owner suggested so blister resistant socks. Worked for the rubbing, but my feet went numb after two miles. These shoes felt more the work, rather than lacing up and going out for a run. I felt like every run I went on, I was putting in more work than usual. I wouldn't even run a 5k in these shoes. I had these shoes 20ish days, put on maybe 20ish miles, and the bottoms were already wearing pretty good. Glad I didn't keep them. Wanted to love the shoes, but didn't even like them.

I wore them everyday to teach and at night when I exercised on the treadmill. Sadly, three months into it, the soles fell apart. In my opinion, these are expensive shoes for such a short life span.

On average I run at about 25 miles a week. All of it on pavement. My previous pair of Hoka's lasted me nearly a year. These wore out in 3 months. I would not recommend these for anyone who runs outside.

Considering how much I love my Hoka Vanquish shoes, I had high hopes for the Hupana. But I was sadly mistaken. While they were good looking shoes, they were way too shallow, especially in the toe box, & did not accommodate my arch supports. The stiff lining around the lace eyelets was also very uncomfortable on the top of my foot and they were lacking the rocker soles that help with my foot condition. Exchanging for the Clifton and hoping they will be more accommodative for my feet!

The Arahi is an attractive shoe and it initially felt good. Unfortunately, after the first run, it caused a big blister on the back of my left foot. I'm usually good about tying my shoes so that I feel locked in, but the shoe still rubbed the back of my foot. My other foot was fine, so I don't know if it was just a defect in that one shoe. Also, it did not feel cushiony enough for my feet (maybe that's the stability factor?). I have sent it back and hope to get my requested exchange soon, the Clifton 4. I have a great experience with the Clifton 3, so I hope the 4 will be just as satisfactory. I just wanted to try a different model (and I gave it a 2nd star because it came in purple). I am still a big fan of Hokas! I've been wearing Hokas for the past 3 years since I started running and they are easier on my middle-aged body, haha. Mahalo, Hoka!

Sadly, I had to return these shoes as they had no cushion to them.
