I usually wear a woman’s 9. Based on reviews, I ordered a woman’s 9. They were huge! Quick and easy return and reorder. The size 8 is a good length. I feel these are MENs sandals…not really cut for a woman’s foot. They are comfortable, but could use more ability to tighten the laces - or better yet, redesign for a better fit, especially at this price point.

While I said that it felt a half size larger than regular sizing but for me that works as I will wear them with either an arch support or sock [if weather is cold].

These shoes are the bomb!! Love them and they can literally go anywhere. Hiking, walking, kayaking, knocking around the community. They are easy on, easy off. They will be my go-to shoes for most of my outdoor days!

I show dogs. In the summer, it’s often on wet grass. I was looking for a replacement for my MANY pairs of Keen Venice H2 sandals. I had to give them up because of the super hard footbed. For 2 years I’ve been searching for a replacement, and have tried dozens of shoes. The Hopara is perfect!!! SUPER cushy footbed and great support. They *are* a bit warmer than I’d like, due to the neoprene. And they’re definitely clunky looking. But oh, the comfort! They have a ton of adjustability. I have a WW foot, and I was able to loosen the Hopara so it feels great. Cannot recommend enough!

Very cute, comfortable, fit great. But after wearing 15 minutes, my low back hurt. So, I waited and tried them again the next day. Same result. I loved the shoe but had to return on that basis.

I love Hokas for running so knew I would also like these sandals. They look great and are very comfortable. I can also run in them if I want - they are that sturdy and supportive.

Hoka shoes have been a game changer for me. I broke my femur and have a 12 inch plate and 14 screws along with 2 new knees. I have had issues with walking and now HOKA shoes have provided me with relief. I have purchased 2 more! Love these shoes.

I stand up for a 12 hour shift and walk alot. My foot just sinks into the shoe and provides the cushion I need. I recommended to several coworkers.

Wife wears 8.5 in her other Hokas but had to return the 8.5 and downsize to a 8 for these water shoes. She loves them says they are very comfortable.

the shoe fit great,, but it was ugly as hell. I couldn't walk around with boat feet in aqua blue shoes.

The shoe is super comfortable and I enjoy wearing them but part of the reason I bought them was to be able to not wear socks. These don't feel good on sock-less feet. I think this is a serious design flaw.

Being in hot humid Florida, I thought cut out walking shoes would be "cool". However, they have little cushioning and were not comfortable, so, I had to return them. HOKA stands behind their shoes and there was no problem with the return and credit to my card. I have six pairs of HOKA that I love, these just didn't meet my expectations.

So, readers of this review, the shoe doesn't fit my feet that well because I need a wider width and my little toe kind of falls out the side, so maybe I should have purchased the men's version. I've just worn it around the house so far because I might return it, but, also, I can tell that I would love to own this shoe if it fit me. I usually have to wear tennis shoes to get the neutral fit that this sandal has, and I would love to have a sandal for summer trips, so I think it's worth trying if you are a woman with a normal foot.

I LOVE Hoka river/water/sand sandals. Before the Hopara I had the Hoka Trafas. I've had 3 pairs of these Hoparas, and they all fail on the heel strap. Hardly any wear on the sole or elsewhere on the shoe - but the heel strap falls apart. The other piece of feedback - the Hoka Tor Rafas had a grippier, more low to the ground sole - which made rock hopping and river travel a safe and enjoyable activity. The soles on the Hoparas are thicker, reducing sensitivity and overall stability. Still the best water sandal out there - but could be better.

Comfort is supreme. Would like slightly more cushion and a better pull loop in back for easy slip on

I loved the hoka hopara and really wanted them to work for me. Unfortunately the arch area of my one foot rubbed on the arch area of the shoe and the ripples in the sole caused redness and tenderness on my foot. I knew I would end up with a problem if I wore them all day on the river and walking all over. I was so sad to return them because I need the cushion and support of Hokas.

I love my Hoka Bondi and wanted something for beach walking and summer. The Hopara size was exactly same as the Bondi for me. It is wide but it works ok with the draw string closure. The support is great . I plan to take to a beach soon and try them out. Just wish they were a little more stylish and feminine looking. Kind of a box look !

I bought to wear them in the house due to my feet and knee issues. They are really comfortable and gives you a really good solid footing with a solid balance. The reason it's not full 5 stars is because my first pair arrived defective with a broken band and the style is bit clunky. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend them.

They have plenty of room to wear socks, which I appreciate in the Winter so that I still have ventilation because my feet get hot in walking shoes.
I just went shopping for the first time wearing them and they were just fine, even on concrete floors.
They're not sexy, I'll tell you that, but they do the job and that's what I needed badly. I was ready to give up, but I don't know what I was going to do next because this has been going on for years now, and you can't help feeling like you're just throwing money away. Thank goodness for Zappos, because the investment keeps working for you, but it gets wearisome after a while.
I am so happy with my Hoka walking shoes and now these sandals, so I know I'll be getting more!
Thank you Hoka! And thank you Zappos! You're the best!

Bought these sandals for "wet landings" off zodiac boats, and short hikes in the Galpagos Islands. Grippy soles made for a sure-footed hike. My only suggestion for improvement would be to taper the toe box more for a woman's foot: the sandal is unisex and the front is very wide. So aside from the cool colors and design, it is not the most flattering for women. But the sandals were very comfortable!

The material is all synthetic therefore it feels warmer than I’d like for a warm weather shoe; however, it serves the purpose of hiking with good tread, water trekking, comfort, and covering toes.

Great shoes to wear outside in warmer weather. Good fit, for me true to size. Initially I had trouble getting the shoes on as I have some hand problems. Very comfortable. More sturdy and protective than my flip flops.
