Customer Reviews Hoka Stinson ATR 5

Toe area is a bit too narrow for my feet

The sole is so thick the shoes feel unstable

I have loved all my Hokas but this hiking sneaker is cut a bit high that it painfully rubs the front side of my ankle. Unfortunately I am unable to wear them and wish I could return for a different model.

I have been a Hoka devote since the very first Bondi B came out. (The Mafate was too wide for me, so I wore those Bondis everywhere on the road and all over the CO mountain trails, even with those slick road soles.) Love the Hoka mix of low drop and loads of cushioning. Perfect for a mix of old injuries. Over the years, as the line has grown and changed, I have periodically had to switch models to find the right combo of features and fit. The Stinson ATR 4 was hands down my favorite shoe since the original iterations of the Bondi. Old-school Hoka ride and great features for a mix of surfaces ranging from technical singletrack to some pavement. I could even make it work for my very low volume, narrow feet by using some different lacing techniques. The Stinson ATR 5 doesn't feel the same at all to me. Hasn't broken in quite as marshmallow-y. Feels a bit slower/heavier, especially when I have to hit pavement for a few miles. Biggest problem, though, is that the less flexible upper makes it hard for me to dial in fit for my narrow feet, and no matter how I lace the shoes, the tongue WILL NOT stay put. Something about the change in the upper (probably in combo with the shape of my foot) means that the tongue is constantly creeping down into the shoe. I end up with a bunched up, uncomfortable tongue, and laces pressing against the top of my foot. Such a huge bummer, as I love Hoka and I absolutely adored the previous version of this shoe. I like the fit on the Speedgoat, but they don't work well for any crossover to pavement, and they don't really offer enough of that Hoka plush cushioning for my old injuries. Stockpiling ATR 4s and hoping that when the 6 comes around that the upper is better!

I miss the ATR4! The Stinson ATR4 allowed me to fully recover from foot surgery and tailor bunion infections. My podiatrist insisted these were the only shoe for me after a long period of post -surgery shoe/boot. She was right. The rocker bottom along with the wide toe box were and are the perfect shoe. Unfortunately, the new ATR 5 has a regular toe box which is not going to work. I feel really badly about this, but had to switch to another brand, ALTRA, with a good, wide toe box. They do not have the rocker sole, but until Hoka returns to the wide toe box, they will be my new shoe. I give the ATR 4 five stars, but the ATR 5 3 stars, only because of the toe box issue.

My feet are hurting more than before. Does not feel like walking on clouds like my colleagues have said about Hoka.

Purchase these shoes I love this brand but they advise me to get a 1/2 size larger and that's been a disaster they do not fit me properly when I send an email I never received any response back

Loved the shoes but they are the first Hoka's to ever give me blisters. I sadly returned.

This shoe is not a good fit for me, my knees are achy after I run in them, how can I exchange them , my other hoka for running is Arahi 2, I would like to exchange them for another pair of Arahi 2

I am a nurse and spend many hours on my feet. I have always worn cliftons but bought these because they were listed as plush. My feet have never hurt more. I have always thought that there was a 30 day return for any with problems but too late have found this is not the case even to exchange

The tennis shoes are comfortable but my feet hurt worse when I take them off. The flip flops are fading on my feet. I do not think I would buy again. I thought about sending them all back but I am past the 30 day mark.

Size is not true. the 7.5 is more like 8 and the cushion is very heard on the heel.

I am a Hoka devotee. I bought this style because my podiatrist recommended the late stage metarocker. They are comfortable and true to size. However the minute I start walking around in them, no matter the socks, they scrunch all the way down the heel and under my foot. I have had dozens of pairs of Hoka One ones, when one model works for me I keep buying it til they stop making it and then have to search for a good replacement. I have halix limitus and plantar fasciosis so choice of shoes is very important. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS SOCK PROBLEM with these shoes, or do you know how to prevent it? thank you

I am a long distance trail/road runner and I backcountry hike as part of my job, so I take my feet very seriously. My podiatrist recommended Hokas to me a few years ago and I've tried several models, coming to love the Stinson and the Bhondi. These Stinson 5s are so unlike the previous versions (3s and 4s) that I am highly considering regulating them to my every day footwear and retiring them from running with only about a month's use. While comfortable, I will echo other reviews: the sole is very stiff and shows no sign of breaking in, and the tongue is noticeably short. However, my biggest complaint is the weight. I haven't looked at the specs, but they FEEL like I'm wearing cement bricks on my feet (and this is at the beginning of my run). At first I thought it was me, and that I must badly need a rest day or two, but upon switching them out for another shoe my legs felt better immediately. I'm going to hold off on the Stinson hiker I was eyeing for work, and hope the 6s improve.

This brand was suggested to me I'm a trail runner / hiker The toe box sooo wide and tongue barely pulls up ,feels tight around top of foot Probably because I had to tighten laces due to toe box bigness Overall comfort and support good My feet don't hurt and that's great Will continue with different socks and lace adjustments to makes these beauties work for me

The m the Stinson are use to be much more fitted and cushioned. This model has a much wider toe area so my feet move around. The cushion is much firmer also. My feet get tired in this model, feel the trail more. I realize some may disagree but for me the Gina I use to love has changed too much

When you walk on a wet surface, the tread get's very, very slick and it's almost like ice skating. Very dangerous!!! No orthotics needed for plantar fasciitis. The insert the shoe comes with is wonderful and very shock absorbing.

The shoe felt too stiff on the trails and not used to the rocking sole compared to the speedgoat and the arch kinda hurt my foot so I sent them back and hoping to get another pair of speed goat 4 which I tried at RRS and they hurt my feet as well so may try the ATR again. Having plantar Fasciitis does not help painful.

I wish I knew when I'll get my shoes back here in Jacksonville florida.

These have a huge thick soul on them. Its as if they are high heels! They are very high and easy to turn your ankle in. I couldn't wear them at all due to instability from the height. The heel seems lower then the middle of the shoe so your achilles really have to stretch mid stride. I don't see how anyone can safely wear these. I was very disappointed.
