For me, Hoka's run a little big, I'm between a 8.5 and 9 usually in shoes and always buy 8.5 in Hoka's. I use the Hupana for races or knock around town tennis shoes and they work great for that. They definitely do not have excessive cushioning like my Bondi's but they work well for what I use them for.

These are my first Hoka shoes. I've been an Asics girl forever and was looking for something that didn't look so much like, well, a running shoe. Love the look and feel of the Hokas so far. Order the size that Zappos recommends - I always wore an 8 in Asics, but Zappos recommended a 7 in the Hokas, and they are perfect, even WITH my orthotics.

I love the Hoka One Hupana Slip. I recently had total knee replacement and have back issues. The Hupana Slip shoe 'saved' me. Unfortunately Zappos does not have my size in this shoe any longer. This shoe is not flexible to for my knee or my back. Cute shoe but feels like I have on concrete blocks on my feet.

A great pair of shoes with one problem - the tongue is bulky and irritates the upper foot.

I love these! I’m a teacher and I’m on my feet all day. I often wear sneakers, but these look more like "real" shoes and are extremely comfortable. I highly recommend them.

Great fit. Honestly, I love these shoes!
I now have 3 pair of Hoka shoes!
The one thing I will say about this shoe is the laces are short and dont stay tied very well. I took them out of the last holes and double tie them which has helped but the laces are a bit high maintenance. The thing is....the laces match the shoe exactly so simply getting different laces would not work.

HARD. These do NOT have the coveted cloud cushion that Hoka is famous for. I usually wear a 7.5W-8W and these 7.5W were the correct length, but uncomfortable and my toes rubbed against the side because the shoe is still to pointy for my duck feet.

My main quibble about this shoe is the very shallow heel cup. Even with using the original insoles, my heel was not deep in the heel cup and my foot/ankle felt unstable. I had thought of using these for pickleball or even a zumba class but when I tested these inside my house with quick lateral movements, my heels started to come out of the shoe and I was afraid of twisting my ankle. There are no extra holes to lace your shoes in such a way as to stabilize your ankle. Even if I wore these just walking around, my heel would still be sloshing around a bit too much.

These shoes are very comfortable. Could wear them right out of the box. I have heal issues - plantar fasciitis. Really works.

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.

I bought these shoes for an upcoming vacation. I needed a shoe that I could walk about 5 miles a day in while sightseeing.
The shoes are comfortable, with good cushioning. I have a very high arch so the arch support isn't the best for me. The sole is on the smoother side
so I don't know how the shoe will do on a slippery pavement. I like the style of the shoe, it doesn't look like a typical walking or running shoe. I think I will be happy with my choice.

I started wearing the Clifton 5 during recovery from acute PF and still maintaining road running regime. The Clifton is a bit plush for cross training but the Hupana flow has been the answer with a bit more stability but still enough support and cushion for longer treadmill sessions.

These shoes worked great and are very comfortable I wore the Hupana solely when I was dealing with Plantar Fasciitis and it made so much difference. I think it was the way that my foot was able to heal and I have not had any problems in months. The inner support is removable so you can put in your own arch support if you have one. Sometimes the shoe slips a lot so you may need to utilize the shoe lace holes that are on the side by the ankle to tighten it there but overall I love these shoes and highly recommend them if you need extra support.

The shoe is probably the least clunky of all the Hoka One shoes. It definitely runs a half size large. I ordered 7.5W and it fit more like an 8W. Comfy shoe, but very bland in styling (I got the black/white ones). But if you are no frills and want a comfy shoe for running around town, consider these.

I use my shoes in thegym, mainly for Zumba. I would like a shoe more dedicated to Zumba, with better traction and a more flexible sole.
