Customer Reviews Hoka Cavu

This shoe is absolutely the best shoe I have. Great for walking. I have tried everything, for many years, and this one is the most comfortable ever. Looks great - not clunky. Feels wide enough but does not look wide like some of the others I have tried.

I have been battling plantar fasciitis for months now. I am a group fitness instructor so I have to keep going. A friend recommended Hoka to me. I thought, why not...I have tried podiatrist, sports med, pain relievers, orthotics, etc... I hesitated at first because the Hoka seems to be designed more for running/forward motion. In class, I move in all directions so I chose the Cavu style due to the less bulky styling. I was worried they would look too orthopedic but these were actually pretty cute. They didn't feel that extraordinary out of the box but after 2 hours of cardio/weight/core classes by feet didn't hurt at all. My knees were also less sore. I also got the recovery flip flops and wore them on the beach. No foot pain even after walking miles on the beach! These are my new go to workout shoe!

I have been married to the Hoka Bondi 5 shoes due to the max cushioning of that model. They’re a hair clunky, but they have saved my ouchy joints. I saw these shoes and fell in love with the colors and had to at least try them on. They’re very comfortable and really cute. They are not as bouncy/cushioned as the Bondi 5s (the Bondi 4s were better!), but I don’t get joint pain. I’m so glad I tried them. I think this speaks to the wonderful quality that you get with any of the Hoka shoes. Such a great brand. Note - true to other reviews - these do run a half size big! I’m a 7.5 and sometimes wear 8s and the 7s in this shoe fit perfectly.

These shoes fit perfect. The arch is acceptable not as supportive as other HOKAs I’ve tried. They are firm and hard in the heel area where I need cushion. Am going to find heel pads and see if this makes a difference. I may decide to keep them if I can cushion the heels. I haven’t decided to keep them quite yet.

I love the way these shoes looked but the toe box is much more narrow that my previous Hokas.

Love these! I have narrow feet and has no problem with these. Took them for a slow 3 mile run and didn’t notice much foot fatigue. If you’re used to more arch support, may want to use insert. Not too bouncy but responsive. I usually run in saucony triumphs which have a little more arch support than these. Excited to take these for a longer run!

I have older pair of Stinson with great fit, great arch support I am wearing them out and cannot find another to come close to the support & comfort of my older Hoka shoes Please bring them back; the orthotic that came with this shoe is the best I had found; why change a good thing; toe box in new shoes I am returning is hard & overall fit just ok

I love these shoes! They are nice & light but have so much support. I use my own orthotics & they fit nicely in the shoes after removing the insoles. The colors are really nice. Highly recommend!

Love these shoes! I did size down a half size after reading the reviews and they fit perfectly. I bought two pairs; the Cavu and the Hupana. Really wanted to love the Hupana but the width was very tight and the Cavu fit perfectly. I use primarily for walking the dogs and couldn't be happier with the stability and cushioning of these shoes.

I swear by Hoka. I'm probably on my 12th pair for both trail running and road shoes. I was so glad to find they made a lightweight trainer for high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts; I need a shoe that is cushioned enough for the treadmill yet can handle repeat lateral movements and such on the studio floor, and the Cavu fits the bill perfectly! This is my 2nd pair of them, and since my local running store no longer carries this model, it was Zappos to the rescue!

I love how light these running shoes are. Really makes sprinting a lot more enjoyable. They are a bit roomy in the toe area, but I always want my running shoes a half size bigger. So I got my regular size and there's plenty of room for my toes to breath. I've been buying Brooks for years, so we'll see how well these hold up. So far, I'm happy. A bit pricey though...

I really wanted to like these sneakers but they were a little too narrow for my comfort. I normally wear a 6 1/2 and that’s what I ordered and while they did fit, they felt like they were just a smidge too long at the toe. I do like this brand so I’ve ordered another pair but in a wide instead of a medium.

Comfortable. Style better w this Hoka than others.

Great light weight shoe but this style tends to run big. I had ordered 1/2 size down.

First of all, these are the CUTEST Hoka shoes in my opinion. Much lower profile and cuter uppers than many of the others. I also own the Bondi. (Yikes they are ugly, but so much cushion for running). They are super super light weight. Very comfortable. I would wear them for workouts and walking and daily use. Unfortunately, I did return them though because I was hoping for a TAD bit more cushioning with the same light weight feel specifically for road running (shorter distances, I like the Bondi for long distances). I probably wouldn’t run in the Cavu. I ordered the Hoka Mach and will see if that’s any better. LOVED the look of the Cavu, I just don’t need any more daily/workout shoes. Maybe in the future I will!

I loved these sneakers for a short time. They seemed perfect and everything I wanted, I actually ended up ordering them in 2 colors (black and white). However, only a few weeks after using them, the aglet for the shoelace tore open on one side. This happened to BOTH pairs! Great shoe, but the aglets need to be rethought..

Very comfortable with nice rebounding
