Customer Reviews Hoka Hupana 2

Just a casual shoe. Lunch out, visit a friend or shop a bit. Not a running shoe.

I wear it mostly in the gym. With add arch supports.

This is my second pair of Hokas and both run a half size too large. How do I return them and order a smaller size?

Was so excited to finally get them, my first pair! As much as my excitement was my disappointment that they ran BIG. I'm always and 8 and in Europe a 38. These were too long; big in the toes. The width was perfect almost too snug but ok. So I returned them and got Bondi. I ordered a 7.5 they fit perfect. So, FYI... looks like HOKA in general runs big.

This is my first pair of Hoka shoes. Love the cushioning and the look of this style but wish they came in wide sizes. I will try them out hoping they will stretch a little.

I have the Bondi 5 shoes and love them but they're not the most stylish with such thick soles so I ordered the Hupana 2. The Hupana 2 looks great but cannot compare with the cushion of the Bondi. It's a trade off.

Great running shoes!

I've found that I run better with the Hupana's. This is my second pair and I love them and get many compliments.

tried on the pair of Hupanas. without socks, it felt fine as it was a slight loose fit. When I put on the socks, is when I felt a defect near the laces and no matter how much I tried to loosen the laces, it was still irritating my foot. My husband swears by Hokaones. So, I will try again next time.

I find this shoe narrow for my foot. I am wearing my normal size but I have extra toe room which creates pain during workouts with planks or lunges where your toe is bent. The cushion is better than all other trainers I have tried and has nice support for a work out shoe. My feet are benefiting from this. It lacks traction if during quick movement on the court other wise for box jumps and stepp work, lifting is real nice. The wideness in sole gives good balance.

I think I could have gone down a half size. They are comfortable but when I exercise in them, I feel like my foot slides around a little.

I do HITT workouts lots of jumping and lifting weights. Just enough tread. Just enough cushion. They are flat enough for lifting. I would run in something else but I'm 50 year old female 116lbs. I purchased my normal size. My only problem is the toe is stiff for doing lunges and rather uncomfortable. Today on a elevated step was real bad. I've worn them now for maybe 10 workouts around an hour a pc. They do have more cushion than a normal cross trainer and are still stable this was my motive in the purchase because I am older but do not like to workout in a running shoe with a heal.

I wanted a less bulky appearing shoe to wear with jeans and leggings but my feet need the Hoka support and cushioning. The Hupana shoe fulfilled both requirements.

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.
