Purchased for casual walking around home and neighborhood and the slip on feature. Well there is very little arch support and it irritates my plantar fasciitis ! I am trying some inserts to see if that helps before I return the shoes. Very disappointed since the Bondi 6 is so great! Won't recommend or buy again!

I have an almost new pair that won't leave my closet. HOKA needs to make a wider version and then it would be 5 stars.

Heel slides down. Dont seem to fit true to other Hoka shoes. I have about 12 pairs of Hokas but wont buy another pair of these.

The shoes look great. Good quality. True to size. My biggest issue was that even it felt like my size, my feet were sliding back and forth and up and down in the heel area. Very uncomfortable. Returned.

They seemed OK when I tried them on to check the fit, but can't use them. What looks like porous cloth upper provides no ventilation. Wearing these shoes with cotton gym socks, the socks end up soaking wet, and it's even worse without socks. Also, the black lining of the upper stains the socks. I think the shoe upper is neoprene with tiny holes. Maybe the ventilation would be better if the neoprene was stretched enough to open the vent holes. For me, sloppy loose fit. Just wearing them in the house, they get squeaky soaking wet inside as if I had been wading.

I normally love Hoka One One, but these shoes did not stay on my feet in walking around my house. They were uncomfortable, and a huge disappointment. I returned them after spending one evening trying to like them.

I intend to use them as recovery. I'm going to exchange them for a smaller size.

After long runs, I began to notice that my normal "around town" shoes made my body ache. So began looking into a solution. These popped up and I figured they were worth a shot - after all, they're "recovery shoes" - exactly what I was after. They're quite comfortable, but my foot slips out if I walk at my normal speed. My solution is to tie a string through the ankle and top loops to tie down the shoe tighter around my ankle - but it looks really silly to have some random string around my foot but it works. If there was some sort of lock-down mechanism like velcro or a pull string, these shoes would be an easy recommendation. But as-is, they're tough to tell others to buy.

just got last night. Wore in house only to get use to fit. Took shoes off and white socks have dark stains on them. I am calling to see if this is a isolated issue, because i really like the shoes

This shoe is called recovery shoe, and it is the opposite of the name. I love Hoka, this is my 4th pair by them but this shoe needs improvement. There are no half sizes, I ordered size 9 and replaced by size 10. The size is still tight, especially around Achilles area. The band that hugs your ankle is so tight, it cuts into the tendon. If the band was more forgiving or wider, it would be a great shoe. Nice materials and light weight.

I find them hard and the cushion is not plush at all. The fit is somewhat narrow as well. I usually wear and love the Men's Stinson ATR shoes and sadly these are not even close to the same comfort.

Was concerned like previous reviewer that the narrow strip at the Achilles will cause discomfort. Returning for that reason.

The shoe didn't feel comfortable they felt lumpy like the foam in sole wasn't shaped correctly. Felt better with a replacement soft inner sole. The foam in the sole felt too firm for a recovery slip on. The sizes are very large I normally take a 10 to 10.5 US and had to get a size 9 to fit correctly. Disappointing from Hoka expected a lot more comfort in the cushioning and more correct sizing.

So disappointing! In May 20 20 I had foot surgery so I was not able to wear my new Hoka's for about three months. About 20 days after being able to wear them the bottom of the shoe started to come unglued. Now I just bought a second pair of the same kind and I've worn them for less than a week and the bottom is coming off again. For the coat of these shoes I would expect a lot better quality I will never buy these again!!!

My heel always slips out, so I use them as slippers. Hoka is a good brand. This style of shoe is not good for me. I prefer a shoe that has zero-drop.
I'd also recommend:
Altra's for a zero-drop shoe

Poor design. The back of the shoe cut into the heal. Item returned. Design for version 2 of he recovery shoe looks good, I will probably order those.
