Just a little big. I always buy 7.5M Hoka & this one seemed especially big- mostly on my right foot. My R foot is a little smaller than my L, but my orthotics would slide around on my R>L. Had to return for this reason. Seems like a fluke, especially with Hoka- the only sneaker I can wear without pain.

Hi this shoe seems pretty nice. it has mesh fabric so it seems more of a summer shoe and this was one of my concerns regarding fit. I haven’t worn Hoka before but normally I wear an eight or 39 European size. It seems these run large but I don’t find size charts to reflect that. Basically the shoeseems nice and comfortable but I’m having a difficult time with the sizing. Also it’s an expensive sneaker. Considering it’s a summer sneaker it’s weird to wear winter socks. I don’t want to go too small though. Hmmm

This particular shoe ran wide for my Medium width foot. Upper rubber material around toebox has detatched on left shoe in the short time I have worn them. Would give Hokas another go in a different style as I have heard such positive feedback about the brand.

I stand all day. These shoes have just the right amount of cushioning to stay comfortable during my work day. I also wear them for my walks and they are great!

I bought these sneakers after searching for orthopedic sneakers . They look good and feel great. At work, I'm on my feet a lot. These sneakers give my feet plenty of support. I am very happy with their performance. Thanks!

These Hokas fit perfectly and look great. I purchased them because I need good balance and heel cushion for recovery of plantar faciitis. The insole was just a thin cushion, easily removed for my inserts. The true comfort of these shoes comes from the composition of the heel and sole of the shoe. U walked all 4 Disney Parks and then some with absolutely little to no pain during or after each day.

I've been happy with my Brooks walking shoes, but saw a woman wearing a pair of Hoka's at the doctor's office one day and thought, those look comfortable! I ordered a pair from the website and they were way too big. So I returned them and ordered the next size down. They were also too big. I then called and spoke with a customer service rep. She was very sweet and helpful, but I'm not sure her advice about sizing was accurate. She said the style I ordered (Bondi 7) runs regular, which is not my experience. In my experience, they run large. I typically take a 7 or 7.5 (7.5 in Brooks) and ended up with a 6.5 Wide in Hoka's. Having said that, once landing the correct size, these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned! I pretty much wear them every day and am planning on ordering a second, black pair to go with more things. I can't imagine wearing any other running/walking shoe. They're simply the best, at least for my feet. This is an honest review. I did not receive any compensation for sharing my experience and paid full price for my shoes. I hope this is helpful to others!

All my walking is on concrete, due to my living location. These Hoka runners are the very best shoes I have found. They are especially good for my toes, which spread out in width and never rub up against the top. They support an upright posture. I am 84 and recommend these shoes to older walkers.

The fit was accurate. This shoe is very attractive which I appreciate since I am wearing them to work due to plantar fasciitis. The fabric is very nice and thick. The shoe also has good mid-foot and toe support and cushioning which I don't find in other sneakers. I was able to add a Profoot fasciitis insert and the sneaker still fits properly.

The third time I've bought this shoe, love it and I'm on my feet all day. I have wide feet and orthotics so these are perfect for me.

This is the first time I have tried this brand, and they are amazing so far! I was having trouble with shin-splints and determined that the problem were my ill-cushioned shoes. During my first workout, my legs felt less stressed and tired when compared to my last few weeks. The difference was instantly noticeable!

I am usually a 9N but with lace up shoes I can wear a Medium. This Medium gives me enough room in the toe box but slips a little bit in the heel. However, I have worn them on long walks and hikes and they are really comfortable. Hokas were recommended by a podiatrist for my flat bony feet and I do like them very much. I chose this model because the soles are less thick and more attractive than some of the other versions.

It takes a very big deal for me to say that these sneakers are superlative. Never have I felt such comfort and I have difficult feet to please. My feet feel cupped and the sneaker provides cushy but firm comfort at the same time. These are for road walking which is what I do on country roads. The quality and workship is very good and I have confidence that they will last. Thank you!

I ordered a 1/2 size larger since I wanted these to walk and hike in....because my foot is narrow, they were too large so I ordered the 9. My heel slips a little but not enough to be concerned about.

This is the third purchase of this shoe.... my favorite Hoka ..... it's the most comfortable and I wear it all day for 12 hour shifts. It's also not too bulky. Make it in more color choices please!

Been looking for awhile for a training shoe that I can also wear to walk my dog distances. Akasa is wonderful -- comfortable, supportive and nice looking. Ordered both 9 and 8 1/2 and settled on 8 1/2 . Very happy!! Had been looking for several months, trying different brands, different shoe types and I am so happy to have tried Hoka!!

Great shoe. Very comfortable and I love that they are wide enough to still be comfortable at the end of the day of your feet swell a bit. The mesh over the toes keeps your feet cool (just not dry from the rain).
