Customer Reviews Hoka Hopara

Pretty much true to size, but.. I wear a 10 in every shoe except tennis shoes I wear a 11 These I first ordered a 11 and they were too big. Then tried a 10 just a tad to small, then I tried a 101/2 and it was perfect! They are so comfortable!

I do a lot of kayaking and hiking so I needed a shoe that would accommodate both activities on the same day. These are water proof, and have an excellent hiking sole. The one down side is that I cannot wear them without socks. They rub my ankle in the back. Hoka either needs to provide more cushion in that area or us different material for the back strap. Unfortunately I need to return this pair.

The shoes are sturdy, and perfect for walking, hiking, and exploring rocky beaches. That's why I bought these particular shoes. Haven't worn them outside yet, but hopefully they will work out fine.

I wanted to love these shoes, but I had to send them back. The shoe came up so far on my foot that it hit my ankle and was actually painful to wear. Even my sneakers don't come up that far. Hopefully Hoka will make one that is cut a bit lower, because I really liked them.

I'm comparing HokaOneOne Hopala fit to my Keen hiking sandals--The Keen is more comfortable overall, but the Hoka has much more room for my toes even in a Medium width and I appreciate this in a walking/hiking sandal because feet will swell slightly with activity. The Hoka is better worn with thin peds as it's easier to get my feet into the shoe. Once on, it's GREAT! the Wide toe box is really comfy. I ordered down a 1/2 size because the Keen fit better that way. And it's true for the Hoka as well--I think a regular size 8 would have been way too big

very comfortable but had to return as they were too warm

I did not realize these were mens shoes, so I ordered the wrong size. Even so, these are pretty big and chunky. I imagine they would be very comfortable for hiking long distances, but there is so much going on on top that I am not sure that they really provide the benefit of being a sandal. I am returning these, so can't comment on how they would perform in water. It looks like they are designed for getting wet, but there is a lot to get dry afterwards, I this it would be better if they were fewer/less bulky straps.

I have plantar fasciitis, very high arches and slightly wide feet. These are working well. More comfortable with socks than without, but as a gardener, I appreciate ventilation along with toe protection when it’s too hot for regular athletic shoes. These have reasonably good arch support with some give, but not too squishy.

I really like these! I needed walking sandals, so that my feet wouldn't get too hot and sweaty, and so that the walking wouldn't make me so achy (arthritis). These are great for my joints! The only thing that I'd improve on is the material that goes all along the top of the foot. I'd prefer more openness or holes on top by the toes, for more breathability.

I was looking to find a summer equivalent to the Hoka Rincon 2 . After initially trying these on I found that the arch support was a bit painful, almost too much , but did wear them for two hours and walked in my gardens to see how they functioned. I found that they worked well and offered very nice support & they are water proof , so after a few days of use I believe they will be just what I will need to offer proper support in my garden season.

I am keeping the gray and blue sandals, but these black ones fit differently, seemed wider and not as cushy, plus the black is really black. It would be nice if there was a contrasting color with it.

These shoes are not the most attractive sandals that Zappos has to offer, but perfect if you need comfort and support! Incredible stability and cushion. When wearing a skort/skirt/leggings, they are cuter than sneakers. Always great when I have to be on my feet for a while: walking or light exercise, running errands, cleaning house.
