Customer Reviews Hoka Akasa

The size and fit were good. Where the tongue was sewn together inside the shoe was the problem . It was very uncomfortable!

These just didn't work with my custom orthotics.

Returned for two reasons. I have high arches and I could feel the inside of the left shoe was not a good fit. I ordered wide width so I could add arch supports without too much pressure on the top of my foot and because my forefoot is wider. Width was good and was able to add the arch supports with no problem. BUT the heel cup is a bit to wide and my heel had way too much slippage to keep the shoe. Also wasn't as comfortable as my Hoka hikers!

I loved these sneakers and I'm now hooked on Hoka. I loved them so much that I put up with them for a long time even though I was getting lots of static shocks while wearing them. I finally gave them away and bought another pair of Hokas that have another layer to the sole (not just the white, but also a bit more tread that has a color to it). Happy with the no-shock-ness of the new pair. But this was the pair that convinced me to stick with Hoka.

Returned because they were too wide- I do have a narrow foot. The arch support was wonderful.

Width too much for my skinny feet, especially in the heel.

I like Hoka but ret them because I was looking for more cushion. But….. Hoka is a great, well made athletic shoe. I’m more of a Brooks girl and should stick with what I know works for me.

Very comfortable walking shoe but soles wore out in just 5 months.

If you are between sizes order up. I wear a 7.5 and and 8 depending. Based on other reviews, I ordered the 7.5 and they fit correctly size wise. Unfortunately, I still had to return these. I recently tried on a friend's Hoka Arshi 4 and loved them. Unfortunately, they no longer make that shoe and the Hoka Arshi 5 goes up super high behind the ankle. I noticed these were a lower profile so I ordered but unfortunately they were weirdly heavy compared to the Arshi model. I think I could have gotten past the heaviness but the ankle support was intense. Even if you look at the pictures of the shoe you can see that it comes to a V in the back of the shoe. The V was very stiff and my ankle felt like it was being squeezed and I only tried on the shoe for about 2 minutes in my house. I couldn't imagine actually exercising in these because for sure I would get blisters. Maybe someone who likes a tight support around their ankles will like this shoe. I wished they could have worked out because I thought the style was pretty good, especially compared to many other Hoka shoes which in my opinion are too wild in color. I like neutral looking sneakers to go with a variety of outfits.

Rubbed side of my foot

Felt wide so I am returning them

This shoe felt a half size bigger than my usual 6.5 size. Also the soles of the shoe are very stiff. Did not seem like a good options for me so I am returning.
