Customer Reviews Hoka Stinson Mid GORE-TEX®

The Stinson model shoes have been the best I've ever worn. So when they came out with these, I jumped at the opportunity. They feel just like the shoes! They look like a boot, but the feel like a sneaker. They are very supportive, without being stiff. Right out of the box, my feet were happy. I live in Alaska, so I have been able to test out how effective the Gore-Tex is. Walking a mile to work in the snow is no problem. They keep my feet dry, and my feet do not overheat. They are basically wonderful.

Great shoes, had a pair of high tops, returned them for these. Feel better everyday

Everyday wear

Same fit n great ride as Bondi I have been running in for years. Good to see Gore Tex!!

Firm around the ankle with healthy space up front. I love it. So many shoes are designed for the shoe to look good, meaning the toe slopes in too fast. Few feet are shaped that way. This boot is shaped like a foot, especially a foot that has expanded from impact. The heel keeps me in nice and snug and the forefoot allows for room. They keep me warm but I can imagine summer wear as well. I love them- I added SOLE insoles (cork) to them. I use Sole because I can size up to fit the extra space in the forefoot area. It worked very very well and these have become my daily wear. That's kind of sad because...... now I don't want to get them dirty even though I had bought them as hiking / work shoes!!! I love how they look, they get daily compliments, and they are confidence inducing on loose gravel. Perfection. Thank you for making a shoe with this shape.

These are the greatest boots ever. The fusion is like my Bondi 6 running shoes but overall even more comfortable. They feel kind of like the Tor Summit low top hiking shoe. I was always hoping they would have a Tor Summit mid, but this is basically it. I wish I could wear these with a suit. The most comfortable shoe/boot ever.

Would get 5 but needs a wider version

While extremely comfortable and what I was looking for in a Plush, Neutral hiker, I returned the pair as I felt like they lacked durability on the sole. Very soft, but not a outer Vibram sole like the rest of the hiker line. Just felt soft and I sensed they would not last long. The upper lacing system is very difficult to lace as well.

I bought these shoes for my son as a Christmas gift. He said that it took him awhile to get used to them.

The boot would be great if it had more cushion in the heal. Otherwise, they are very comfortable. I use extra insert for heel comfort.

To go up or whole size is not always the answer. If you made a wide size in this product you would have gotten 5 stars.

This is probably the most comfortable shoe I've worn in my life. No tired feat, but I have one criticism. The material of the shoe has a suede-like texture that hangs onto to dirt. It makes the shoes look filthy all the time. Not ideal material for a shoe that's marketed to be used outdoors. Other than that it's my favorite footwear I've owned.

Works as winter boot in a few inches of snow. Better speed lace system than Challenger. Ordered half size up to get a fit for my wide foot.

The boots are excellent for the purpose. Very comfy, keep my feet dry and warm. DO NOT like the lacing system -- too hard to loosen and tighten.

Boots are comfortable, give great ankle support and are light. The cushioning in the foot bed is awesome. I would give them 5 stars but I don't like the top 3 lacing clips. I find them poorly designed because it makes it unnecessarily difficult to slide the boot lace through.

I wear these for almost any activity, the cushioning is super comfortable. One thing I don't like is the lacing system - the eyelets are difficult to use amd the highest pair are much too high to be used.

I wear them 5 days a week to work as a cable technician in Glendale Arizona "Home of the Arizona Cardinals" The fit is very good , comfortable all day long. I would give them 5 stars but the eyelets are a little cumbersome, it takes 2 hands to get it in the slot. For anyone who is on there feet all day I would recommend this boot.

This shoe is for dirt not the road so throw out any reviews that complain about that. Most comfortable shoe for hiking I have ever worn. I hike the Grand Canyon every year (two days 48 miles in total) and I switched to this last year. I hike 3-4 times a week in Arizona. I hike very technical rocky trails I really love the wide toe box and the comfort is worth the money. The only reason I did not give this a 5 is because of the shoe lace system the top eyelet is just hard to strap on and it does not give enough room to ties this easily wish they would re-design that. I will say that is minor to me once it is tied it is fine. I will continue to use this show for hiking, I would recommend this but bottom line you have to try it to like it. It may not be for you but you will get a light comfortable fit for sure.

Have only tried them on, haven't walked in them as yet. They feel good so far.

Love these shoes, so comfortable and light on the hiking trails!

Runs narrow in instep and width for my feet Great boot if can size your foot
