Customer Reviews Hoka Ora Recovery Shoe

I bought these to try out as a new "indoor" shoe because my Hoka trainers are SO comfortable, and I have often wished I could get them as a slip-on for use indoors. I am on my feet a good deal, cooking, cleaning and taking care of my grandchildren. These shoes have proven to be the most comfortable I've found for my arthritic feet and back. Sadly, they don't come in half sizes or "wide," so I had to go up a size. They do pinch around the ball, and because they're longer than I need, the arch isn't in quite the right spot. When I first wore them, I thought I should box them up and return immediately, but decided to give them a one-day tryout. Glad I did! Apparently, the material is designed to conform to the foot as it warms up. Aside from the slight pinching on the ball, these shoes are quite comfortable, even as the day wears long. Oh, and I have a very narrow heel, which has always caused problems with slipons. Not with these! More of a pull-on, than a slip-on, they are constructed to hug the heel, and I have no problem whatsoever with them slipping. They have a loop tab at the heel and another on top of the shoe, both of which are wide enough to grab easily, despite my arthritis, and pull the shoes on.

I wanted a light weight cute slip-on easy on and easy off shoe, to walk in when I did not want to wear my regular HOKAs. I read the reviews and saw there might be issues with the heel not staying put in the shoe, and have found that to be true, but not to the point that I cannot wear them. Wish my heel did not slip, but I love the weight of the shoe and I think it is very cute and good with casual wear or more. Will likely buy again because it ticks enough boxes, although I hope the heel thing gets addressed.

I really like this shoe and keep it in the trunk of my car for after workouts or long hikes. At first, I didn't like the heel slippage on the shoes. I thought that would be an issue, but when I do really long hikes or runs, my feet sweal a bit and don't present an issue as I am only using this for recovery, not casual wear. This shoe does a really good job of making my feet more relaxed with it's plushness and comfortable fit.

Excellent with one change -- the footbed is a bit wide. So I will get a 10 instead of 10-1/2 next time.

They feel great

The footbed is very comfortable, the length and the toebox fit very well. However the heel is so loose that unless I wear very heavy socks it slides around a lot. I will keep them since I need indoor slip-on shoes and they work ok for that.

These are good for relaxing after you have been on your feet all day

I use these with my "relaxer" orthotic inserts and I love them! The material is very comfortable and breathable. I wish my foot didn't slide around in them (had to get a size smaller - 10 instead of 11 - because there was way too much room, so I'd suggest sizing down). There is minimal movement of my feet now that I have the correct size and it is so nice!

The shoes were so comfortable, I wore them for the rest of the day inside my home. My mistake was wearing them at work because they were so comfortable. That was a mistake. They are truly a recovery shoe, intended to be worn after a long day on your feet, not instead of. I am still recovering from that mistake, but the recovery shoe is up to the task.

I wish this shoe had the cushioning of the Bondi 7. Love the shoe, but I'd like to see max cushioning .

She was very comfortable and lightweight. For me I would like a better, ,firmer arch support. But I was able to put in art supports and not have it affect the height of the shoe at all and how my foot felt in the shoe itself. I would recommend this

I normally wear size 9, but in this shoe a 9 was too long.

I am a nurse a d after a 12 hour shift these are my comfy slip on shoes to wear home.

The foot bed/sole is similar to the ora recovery slides, but doesn't appear to be made of same material. It doesn't have the same cushion & feel as the slides, which was needed for my tender feet, so as much as I was looking forward to the recovery shoes both pairs I bought got returned & I bought a pair of Bondi 7 as a replacement & I'm super happy with them. I believe these are as close of a shoe to to the ora recovery slide as possible. I'll definitely be buying a nother pair of both the bondi 7 & ora recovery slide's again.

The soles are bulkier than appear on site, especially since it is white on black shoes.

This shoe is okay once I get it on, but the toe box is a little tight. I'm wearing it more hoping it will loosen up a little, since it's the right size for me. Maybe I should have ordered a wide.

I've purchased two pairs of Hoka's in the past 3 months. I'm having surgery next week and these shoes are the only pair that are comfortable to be in all day. Feels a bit big in the heel, but I'm afraid to change the size because I need the larger toe box space

I love slipping on my Hoka recovery shoes. They are So comfortable. The only drawback is you can't buy them in half sizes. I bought size 9 and I think an 8.5 would have fit better in these particular shoes because they do slip a little. I have to make sure I have thicker socks on when I wear them.
