I bought 2 new pairs of Hokas, one pair online and one pair in a store. Both shoes fit like a dream. Both pair have stopped my knee and ankle pain. The problem is that both pair cause a blister on the outside of my foot. I'm not sure why. I will use mole skin on days when I know I want to wear them. I'm diabetic, so I cannot afford to have any blisters. I'm disappointed that I can't wear them as much as I want too.

This is my second pair of sneakers from Hoka and they are comfortable, supportive and live up to their great reputation. However you need to use a shoehorn in order to get them on so not particularly convenient.

Though the shoes are nice, good fit & comfy, the small opening requires me to use a shoe horn to get them on, otherwise it wears the back down badly. I don't have a large foot, but the elasticized opening is very limiting. I've only had them two weeks and the elastic part seems to be pulling away from the seam. A larger size shoe may help, but then the foot part wouldn't fit!

Like the weight and look of the shoes. I have a wider foot and these are very narrow and tight on my feet.

The fit was too wide and the shoe felt too clunky with the giant sole. Not as cushy as it looks. At this price point I expected better.

Don't get me wrong--this is a great quality shoe. HOWEVER, the opening for entering your foot is quite narrow. I had to purchase a shoehorn in order to put it on my foot more easily.

I purchased these for my mother she said they were too narrow. We are trying a half size bigger in the same shoe because she liked the look, and trying a different pair in a wide. Hopefully one pair will fit properly.

These are not the Hoka's I'm used to. I usually wear the Tivra for everyday/walking and the Arahi for running and I have used the Gaviota as well. The Cavu's fit and feel don't resemble any of those styles. These ran smaller than other size 7's and they weren't very comfortable just even testing out. I'm giving them 2 stars for comfort for Hoka's. In terms of other shoe brands, I'd say they are a 3--I just have high expectations for Hoka's.

The shoe is very hard to get on your foot when it doesn't open up like a normal shoe

Hoka missed the mark in these. They would have been my fourth pair but sadly they were not comfortable across the arch. The opening was small and they were difficult to put on. Once on the pressure from the elastic across the insteps became uncomfortable and they felt hard on the sole not like my others which fit like gloves, were supportive and had a cushiony bottom. Sorry. They went back.
I'd also recommend:
Other Hokas like the Hupana model

These shoes made the top of my foot hurt. The fact that there is no tongue on these shoes made the fit too tight & no matter how much I loosened the laces it didn't get better. These are definitely a shoe that needs to be tried on before purchasing.

I'm having a hard time sending my shoes back to get a bigger size. They are tight around my ankles!!

I loved the look of this show but it was very hard to ET on my foot. I have a pretty thin foot but it required me to really push hard to get the shoe on.

All of my other HOKA's fir wide through the toe box, which I love. These fit a little tighter.

as a 12 hour work/walking shoe. I found the shoe to be very tight fitting with little cushion.

Because the tongue was sewn in, it was hard to put your foot in. I returned the shoe for a shoe with a movable tongue, hopefully.

I had a pair size 7 but was too big so this time I got a 6 1/2 but now too small. I tried to exchange it for a bigger size the day I received it and processed it but never got the exchange.

The Clifton are more comfortable and easier to get on. I have had foot problems and hokas were recommended by my doctor.

This was my third Cavu shoes that I purchased. They are good shoes but unfortunately I had to return them because I had used Hoka carbon X for training so no longer get used to the CAVU since they did not give me a lift when running

I wear HOKA ,always a 9, and cannot recommend these. If you have even a slight arch or more than a narrow foot, you will not be able to get this shoe on your foot. The tongue is very stretchy, but they come way up the top of the foot and the opening is very small. Sadly, these look great, and seem well made just like all my other HOKA, but they went back.

But the left shoe makes a irritating squeak. Very annoying when walking down a hallway or walking or running with friends . If it wasn't for the squeak it would be a great shoe

I'm a nurse that works 12+ hours a day and constantly on my feet. I purchased these shoes being told they are good for nurses. My feet hurt just as they did with a different brand I have if not worse. I definitely would not spend the money again for these when I have another brand that are more comfortable.
