Customer Reviews Hoka Cavu

Love it! Super light!

Love This Shoes !Best Hoka I've ever had!

Love the look and feel of this shoe. My first time buying Hoka One so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Extremely comfortable and I walk a lot so that was the most important thing. Loved the vibrant colors. I did order a half size smaller and I’m glad I did. I still have a little extra room so they definitely run a little big.

This shoe is comfortable but finding the right size was a bit tricky for me. Most reviews say the run a half size larger but I think is more of a full size larger. If you are the type of running that prefers a perfect fit a full size down would most likely work, but if you like your running shoes larger go a half size down. I will have to return this pair.

These are a bit on the narrow side, but that’s just a Hoka thing. I wear Clifton to run, and wanted these to be more of a walking around shoe, so it was nice to find in a basic black rather than the hideous color combinations that my running shoes come in. My initial reaction to these is that they aren’t nearly as cushioned as the Cliftons. And they are more on the stiff side. Surprising, as the Clifton requires no breaking in time. I’m going to need to break these in, as I plan to wear them for an upcoming trip with a lot of walking.

Use: Running, about 20 miles/week in these shoes, haven't worn for long run yet I first ordered in a 6 and had to return for a 5.5 Toe box is a bit narrow though the heel fit is fine. I have really high arches so there's no support in these for me but that could be different for someone else. I've run on the treadmill and on the road now with them and they feel fine except today I noticed my toe on my left foot was starting to hurt on impact. I do need to put my insoles in and see if those help me specifically. Overall, I love hokas but not the overly crazy cushy ones like the Clifton so these are a great pair for me. I may get another pair of the Tracers to compare to in the future. These are also lightweight but cushioned enough to minimize any slamming feeling during toe strike. Looking forward to testing on a long run this weekend.

I needed to order a half size smaller than I do in other brands, but once I found the right size, they were very comfortable!

I am a dead-on 6.5M in most of my shoes - tending to size up in athletic shoes but not with HOKA. I consistently end up sizing down to a 6M. This was also the case with the Cavu. Shoe is light and a little less drop than their other styles. Decrease of one start is due to insert. I find Hoka inserts fairly useless and usually replace with an insert of my own.
