Customer Reviews Hoka Hopara

Thought the sandal size would be similar to the Hoka shoe but the sandal feels much larger (longer) but the width feels the same. I read a review from 2 years ago and thought maybe the sandal material improved. The bottom of the sandal is okay but the top part feels like cheap plastic. My feet were uncomfortable within minutes. I couldn't imagine wearing them outside on a hot day--which is what I planned to do. Soles seems to have good grip but can't tell for sure.

I have bunions and a pronounced hammer toe on my right foot, so was looking for a closed toe sandal that I could use for hiking and water. Since I have a pair of Hoka Challengers that have carried me many miles without pain, the Hopara looked as if it might fit the bill. Sadly, they do not. First, and most critical, the rocker sole (which is what does the job keeping my hammer toe stable and pain-free) is not as good as the one in the Challenger, thus I can't go even a mile before the toe is yelping. Second, my bunion also does not do well in this shoe. Finally, it is very hot - my feet are sweating before I leave the house. Sadly, I must return these and look further.

The design of the footbet is very uncomfortable. If you are only using them to cross streams and they won't be worn for long, maybe. But, I had to add an insole so that I could wear them for long periods of time. They seem lke "wannabe" Keens, but they mssed the mark with footbed. I would buy another pair of Keens at a lower price over these.

Looked cool in the picture but bulky in reality- not very comfortable either so I sent them back

I needed a half size larger than in my other Hoka shoes. But they are all rubber, and so while they are a sandal, they are very hot, even to try out in our air conditioned home. I will be returning them and will stick with other styles of Hoka.

Shoes are too wide and not briefable. My skin feels very hot and I need to wearing socks

I wear Bondi 7 Hoka's for plantar fasciitis. I was hoping these Hoka water shoes would be a sandal / water shoe I could wear this summer. It did not provide the support of the Blondi 7. It was wider than the Blondi 7. I wore them around the house and then woke up in the middle of the night with arch pain that went up my leg.

I had a hard time getting these shoes on. They felt the right size but they were not comfortable . I wear Hoka shoes almost all the time. I love the walking shoes!! Sorry these just did not work for me.

I wear a 9 in the Hoka Clifford. According to the reviews, I should order my usual size, so I did. The 9s were huge - with or without socks. I ordered the 8s, and they are the right length, but somewhat wide. These are MENS sandals relegating women to second class.

The toe box is too wide for my skinny feet. Too much room to move around.
