Customer Reviews Hoka Ora Recovery Shoe

The fit was excellent. Very padded bottom for all day and walking foot relief. Only downside is that the black fabric came off on my feet and when worn with white sock the black dye was apparent.

This shoe was almost perfect, but the area it wasn't, was the deal breaker, and deciding factor for returning the shoes. The toe box was wide enough, the arch was in the right spot for my feet. The problem area is the heel. The heel slipped badly. I took a heal pad and wrapped it in plastic wrap and put it in the shoe to see if this would solve the slipping problem, but alas it did not Part of the problem is the back of the shoe stretches, which is great for putting the shoes on. However, it is not great for the fact that it also stretches to accommodate the heel pad, so the pad doesn't work. With the shoe being so well fitting in all other areas, which is unusual for my feet, I was disappointed to send the shoes back. The heels slipped enough that keeping the back of the shoe on was difficult, and I was concerned that the constant slipping would cause blisters. If the heel didn't slip, I would not have hesitated to keep these shoes. The arch support was good but not as good as with my Hoka One One Bondi 6. The foot bed, however, was well cushioned.

These casuals were really comfy, nice and squishy just like my Hoka Clifton 3’s that I now have to find on the secondary market. Talk about being ruined for all other shoes! However, as comfy as they are, I just can’t come to terms with the uppers. They look too much like water shoes, and I suspect that the fabric won’t outlast the soles. If you are very athletic, you can probably pull off the look. As for fit, they are true to size. Hoka One One rules, so be confident with your purchase.

I learned the hard way that your feet actually grow as well as swell during pregnancy. I got these shoes to bring me support and a to have a cushy sole during my pregnancy. It was even more of a perk to have them slip on and not have to figure out how to tie my shoes. These are exactly what I needed and although I wish they were a bit more wide, the mesh is stretchy so its all good so far. I also haven't had any issues with my heel slipping.

I love the look of these shoes! From previous reviews I thought these might become my "house shoes." You know, to wear exclusively INSIDE the house. The reviews assured me they'd be cute and comfy, and when I slipped them on I thought I was going to be in love with them. Sadly, after walking a few steps, my left foot kept slipping out of the shoe. I know, weird. Anyway, I will be returning this pair. But id still recommend them.
