Customer Reviews Hoka Hopara

These are great looking sandals, I was expecting them to be as supporting (arch) as the Bondi 7 that I have bought twice in the past! Also the inside bottom makes my feet sweat and slippery! I really want these to work but my arch has to have more support and for the money I expected more! Please keep trying cause the the Bondi7 is amazing, best shore I have ever had!

I bought these thinking they would be great for Disney but I got really bad calluses and bumps on my feet from the rubbing. It wasn't the cushion that was wrong it was the grooves inside that hurt me everytime I took a step. I was very sad because I love my tennis shoe. I wanted a active sandal and I was disappointed.

Returned them. Not as comfortable as my Keen's sandals.

I tried these Hoparas in two sizes and design and my first reaction was " you must be kidding me ". I am not at all picky as far as shoe design goes, have been wearing Keens and Tevas and put comfort over looks but these Hokas were just ridiculously bulky on a female foot. I have wide feet and these shoes dwarf any other sport sandal I own. However - I can live with ugly IF these would have been the best sport sandals but these fell short in a few areas: The footbed is comfortable and offers good cushioning but did not wow me. I have other sandals that are softer. I felt that I could not get a good fit with the laces to prevent my foot from sliding around- even on my super wide feet these shoes were loose- the side straps are just stiff ... not great for any type of hiking . I took these sandals on a walk with my dog in 40 degree weather ... almost snowing with a frigid wind and my feet ended up being HOT ... I do not usually have an issue with my feet being too hot or cold but these sandals could easily be worn in winter with the neoprene covering the entire top of the foot and the thick sole lol . This is an absolute deal breaker for me as I live in a place where summers are hot and I hike deserts... I expect my sandals to breathe- what else is the point of wearing sandals vs. hiking shoes? These might be good for water sports as they are fast drying but even there I imagine it getting quite uncomfortable in the sun and due to the bulk ... swimming would be difficult ? Overall these are just ridiculous looking, huge and bulky sandals that keep my feet hotter than my Hoka sneakers... For the price I expected a lot more from Hoka!

I have Hoka One One ATR Challengers and Ora Recovery Shoes, both fit perfectly. I ordered the size recommended by customer service in these and I can hardly get them on, when they are on they are way too short. This style is odd, the top is very stiff and in flexible.
