Customer Reviews Hoka Akasa

I had foot surgery so I wear it every day and it gives me the support I need. Actually purchase a half size bigger since I have to put an insert in the shoe.

I love hokas and have a lot of them. This Akasa in wide is super comfy. Some of the other Hokas are a little narrow for my very wide feet, this one has a very wide toe box, but my heal doesn't slip, so it's perfect. The under toe cushion is a little bit less than the super cushioned Hokas I run in, but I am using this for the elliptical, and it feels great. I will try a wide super cushioned style next, and then I should be able to run all day! :-)

I always consider myself as a Bondi girl. I still love Bondi for running however they are not as good for a HIIT or kickboxing workout. These Akasa shoes are just perfect and very comfortable. I can tell a different during jumping and lateral movements. I used them for all non-running workouts. These are such awesome shoes.

Definitely buy the more expensive ones with more cushioning. This is just a regular sneaker.

I love everything about this shoe! It's like walking on air. But they started squeaking every time I step in them. That's why I didn't give 5 stars.

Very comfortable and stylish shoes, but my only issue with them & it might be user error is that loosen up as I'm working out in them, eventually leading me to re-tie my shoes mid workout. Not a big deal considering they are comfortable.

I followed the size chart and went with a 9 instead of my normal 8 1/2. They are a tad loose. Not enough to deal with sending them back but next time I order, I will go with my normal size.

Hands down the most comfortable shoes I have ever purchased! Bought 2 more pairs a week later! Only downside...the toe trim is already starting to separate from the fabric in less than a month. I'm not doing trail running so I was a little surprised with that.

Comfortable and made well! I am pleased with these shoes. I would like to have a little more cushion at the ball of the foot but otherwise they are perfect.

I bought these shoes mainly because they are black so I could wear them at work. I also needed good gym shoes for CrossFit and functional fitness workouts. For running, I prefer the shoes that are really cushy because it helps with my bad knee but these pair are great for work and gym. They are still comfortable and I love wearing them when I am not running.

I was looking for a shoe for my high impact aerobics classes. My criteria was that it be plush, "bouncy", and that it provide the flexibility I need to move in different directions. My Bondi 6 was just too bulky and difficult to do lateral movements that are required when doing aerobics. Another important criteria was that it be wide width. The Hoka representative recommended that I purchase the Akasa. I purchased it a half size smaller than my Bondi 6, and it fit perfectly. It is slightly less wide than the Bondi 6, so if you have really wide feet that might be a factor in your decision. The Akasa met all of my criteria! An added bonus is that it is an attractive shoe and much sleeker than the Bondi 6, without compromising the incredibly plush and "bouncy" feel of the Bondi 6. The Akasa is now my go-to shoe for everything! I would have given the Akasa five stars, but I wish it came in more colors. Hoka has done a great job of creating unique and fun colors for their other products. I just wish that they would do the same with the Akasa.

I really wanted to like them, I was finally at a point with my foot recovery where I could wear something besides Clifton that wasn't just boring black or crazy carnival colors either. I opened it and the bottoms of the shoes had a very basic pattern so there was no grip, if the floor was slightly dusty I'd be sliding all over it. And because it was so basic there wasn't much to the bottoms of the shoes so they wore out very quickly and then my heels started to cave in on the shoes. That is one of my biggest complaints of Hoka in general is that the shoes don't last longer than 6 months and that's really pushing it. Im at 4 months and I've been saying for probably 2-3 weeks that I need new shoes already. I had finally found a shoe that I enjoyed looking at from this company, but I'm not about to spend that much money 3 times a year on shoes for myself. Never going to happen.

I've had 2 pairs of the Hoka Hupana Jacquards, which were the PERFECT walking shoes. I wore them both out with so much walking, was sad to see you weren't carrying them anymore. I got the same size , 9.5, in the Akasa, which looked like almost the same thing, but my feet swim in them and it's too late to return them.

Went to put them on for the 3rd time and the glue had released and the shoe was separating at the toe box. Giving a 3 though because I do like the brand. I appreciate the return policy not making it difficult and I like that they offer 10.5. So many brands stop offering half sizes after 9.5.
