I'm a big Hoka Arahi and Gaviota fan but wanted an everyday more stylish shoe so I ordered the black/white Hupana Flow. I really liked how they looked on my feet but my right heel kept coming up as I walked so it was rubbing like I might get a blister and it didn't feel stable. I wore them to Zumba and they just didn't have the cushioning I'm accustomed to for high impact like my other Hokas. I'm glad I tried them but I sent back and will try the black/white in Arahi or Gaviota.

I have been buying shoes from you for years, should try them all on because the model does not match the size

really loved the feel, look and style but it runs way too narrow and the wide has only black selection. Very disappointed.

I always order 1/2 size up to accommodate ortho insert, however these are tight with insert and they do not have adequate heel depth. I am wearing without insert in hopes of breaking in but then they are fairly loose. Great toe room. Difficulty tying and keeping tied. Other than that…great shoes.

These shoes are not as comfortable as my last pair of Hokas and don't have the "bounce back" when walking. I was quite disappointed.

This is narrower than the wool Hupana and lacks the elastic laces which allow for pull on.
Not nearly as good a fit or as comfortable as the wool.

I had to return this pair and get a different type. I have plantar fasciitis and I needed a different pair.

These shoes are too narrow for someone who needs a wide width. I recommend the Akasa if you need a wide width especially if you have bad toes!

The overall fit was good, yet somewhat large. My thought space for a sock was considered. I wore them in the house and shoe laces became untied twice. Then there was something irritating my ankle and I couldn't decide what it was. Moved the tongue somewhat and tried loosening; then tightening. So I'm returning because I want it to be a better shoe than it is. Will search for another at Zappos.

These are not as good as my Bondi7. They hurt my feet after about five hours and the next day as well. They are very comfortable, they just hurt my feet. I guess I need the extra support like my Bondi 7.

The shoestrings won't stay tied and are too short to double knot. This is my third pair of Hupanas and the first time I've experienced this. The strings are the same color as the shoe so buying a longer pair won't solve the issue for me.

I'm a long time Hoka fan. I was looking for a less clunky looking shoe just for neighborhood walk and errands for my wide foot with morton's neroma. No show socks slip down into the shoe. The bottom fells a little stiff and not as cushy as their other models. The crease over the toe when you step feels like it will cut in for a longer walk and become a sore spot. However, it also feels like it might break in over time. I ultimately purchased the Under Armour UA Charged Assert 8 that fit all my needs.

I have owned 2 pairs of the Hoka Hupana shoes and absolutely loved them. The shoes are not tall in sole area yet they are so cushioned. I read a review that asked for them to come back and I want to second that motion.

These are really cute. I use these mainly for everyday walking and workouts at Orange Theory. However, the material is stiff feeling.

These shoes are to flat for me. I am up on my feet for 16 hours at a time. I need something that gives me support and arch.

I thought these were going to be great for working on my feet for 5 days straight and they were the opposite. My feet hurt. Felt like they were cutting off my circulation.

I've had several Hokas I love, but this pair gave me blisters and they squeak when I walk. Maybe it's my quarantine feet?

I am a Hoka loyalist and have been running in Hupanas for 3-4 years. Unfortunately this is a different construction/shape than the Hupana EM and Hupana 2. They made the shoe both heavier (by 1 oz) and less cushiony. The shape of the lateral support is different (narrower next to ball of foot, wider in the midfoot, overall it is straighter). The sole is very stiff and does not flex with my foot as I run, whereas my Hupana EM flexed easily in the toes. Also, the laces are too short to loop through the extra hole (I have a narrow ankle and need this) and the material is too silky to stay tied. I am just sad this shoe is so different, it doesn't work as well for my foot.
Positives: I will say that the color I got (lead/sand) looks nice and stylish. It feels like there is more room in the toebox. The product quality is on par with other Hokas.

Size was great. Style was nice. Very comfortable for stationary exercises however not sturdy enough for outdoors and or running. They broke down quickly and due to the fabric no real support for the feet. Disappointed..The Hokas aren’t inexpensive?

My original Hoka flow shoes were great! As a busy nurse was happy. After 2 years it was time. Had a hard time finding Flow but finally did. These didn't live up to the old pair at all. Seemed cheaper made, stiff. Not as cushy. But after trying for a week I got covid, so wasn't at work. Unfortunately by the time I got back and tried them again the 30 days was up. Not to mention husband threw out box on recycling day.
