Customer Reviews Hoka Ora Recovery Shoe

I originally bought a size 11, my normal size. My heels slipped out when I walked so I returned and purchased a size 10. My heel still slipped on one foot so I am, unfortunately, returning these too. Wish they would have worked. They felt cushiony and comfortable and were cute.

Hard to get on and off.

I wanted to love this shoe. I have several pair of Hoka running shoes and recovery flip flops. I love them all. However, this shoe is a miss for me. They are hard to put on, as the area around the ankle is very snug. That part is ok once the shoe is on, but who wants to work that hard putting on a shoe, no matter how cute? The top mesh is pretty thin and I could see the outline of my big toe if I flexed it. The length was ok, but the width was a smidge too snug. I wear a 9 wide in their running shoe (a ligament issue needs space to stretch out) and an 8 in the recovery flip flop. I ordered the 8 in this shoe. That was the right call, had I wanted to keep the shoe.

I love Hoka's and own 5 pairs. I live in Las Vegas and usually wear flip flops all year. Last year, however, it got too cold for flip flops, so this year I am looking for a comfortable pair of slip-ons to wear during the winter. I normally wear an 8.5 in Hokas. I ordered a size up, which was too big and I returned them. I then ordered a size 8. It fit okay but the heal slipped when I walked. It slipped enough that it was uncomfortable just walking in my living room, so I knew there was no way that I could wear them all day. So I am returning them. I am disappointed because I liked the look of the shoes. Thank goodness for Zappos and their easy return policy.

I had to order one size down after my usual size 11 was HUGE. They make my arthritis pain in my feet and knees go away, and are comfy. The white soles are ugly and huge. I may try to paint them. Why not black Hoka?

I usually wear a size 9.5B/M in almost all my sandals, shoes and booties. Hoka One One said that if the Ora Flip Recovery Sandal fit in a size 9, that I should order this shoe in a 9, since they are the same platform. I did order the size 9 and while the length and width were fine, the elastic at the top of the shoe around the instep and ankle was so tight it was uncomfortable. When I took the shoe off, I had an indented line that went around my instep/ankle. I love Hoka, but this style needs a re-do. FYI, I do not have fat feet or ankles.

I bought and returned these. The color looked pink on the screen, but it is actually a salmon/coral color. I bought my regular shoe size which is an 8. They were huge! They do seem comfortable once you find your right size. I decided to return and not exchange. I like the Hupana Slip better.

I bought these recovery shoes to wear around the house. Ordered The 10 because I normally wear 9 1/2 and these only come in whole sizes. 10 was way to big. Sent for a 9 still to big but better.. tried 8 and pretty tight but wearable. Ended up keeping the 9.. For around house they will be great. Probably not so great for long distance walking, but I do have problem feet. Pretty nice foam cushion insole
