Customer Reviews Hoka Hopara

I love Hoka and use Speed goat for trails and Ora recovery for light day to day use. It is extremely comfortable and very well built. However, this gives me blisters every time I use it. It is not as comfortable as other hokas and completely waste of money!! Buy any other water shoe instead if this.

These are very uncomfortable to wear. Feet were hurting within minutes of wearing.

Has zero sole cushion. Terribly uncomfortable.

I went to put these on for the 3rd time and the back strap ripped totally out. The back strap was glued not sewn. The glue was only at the very top obviously not enough to hold the shoe together.

The left shoe came apart the 3rd time I went to wear them.

makes my soles sweat

Really wanted to like this sandal, but the arch support was about 2" behind my arch which made it very uncomfortable.

Comfortable but started falling apart within a week.

Despite being pliable, these sandals wore blisters on my heels within a mile. Sorry Hoka, I'm not breaking in summer sandals.

Very hot. not very comfortable on feet.

Was not as expected. Had looked forward to try something different as my previous experience with Hoya running shoes were great. But sadly, it wasn't meant to be.

Wore these five times before the heal strap tore. Quality control is terrible and is only made worse by the customer service. Hoka lost my return then refused to replace the sandals. Their IT systems are fundamentally flawed so they can't track returns, instead they just give you an error and Hoka says they are not responsible.

Unfortunately the rear loop pull is not very sturdy because after just two months it started to come apart. I love my other Hoka shoes but these are not very reassuring. Overall comfort is pretty good it just needs to last longer than this. I also had to get a bigger size than my Hoka shoes so that's something to keep in mind. Half size up. I tried to upload pictures but it would never finish the upload.

I bought this as a boating, swimming shoe (Rocky beach stuff). These sandals have a terrible design flaw, they soak up water in open cell foam. These should all be recalled. Next morning still damp. Someone didn't think when designing these. Plastic outside, with open cell foam inside will not dry.

Wanted a waterproof shoe for boat and loved my hoka sneakers after getting recommended to them by doctor as I had been using brooks for many years but developed hip issues and within a couple hours of wearing these my hip was on fire! Nowhere near as comfortable as hoka sneakers.

Tried both the size 10 and 11. Neither fit right. The foot bed was unexpectedly rough below the arch. And the sandals was unexpectedly heavy. BUT, I did love the return policy.

Bought the same size as a previous pair, same style, size, everything. Was too small. Had to return.

I bought this shoe for my summer occasional onsite work; although I sit for most of the day and it's the right size, I made a lot of blisters on my feet, and I had to do a lot of side remedies. The soles feel like cheap plastic and are not foot-friendly at all!

I purchased these to hike in and around the creek and river. I wore them one time for a 6 mile hike and they absolutely destroyed my feet. I have a total of seven blisters from the one hike. The most painful hot spot occurs in the inner-side of the arches. I can't return the shoes now because obviously I wore them and they're dirty now. Save yourself severe pain and do not buy these shoes - they're the worst ones I have ever owned. This site won't allow me to post photos for some reason or I would show the damage I sustained.

Wish I could review the sandals! Unfortunately they didn't accommodate my orthotics. I need a removable footbed or insoles. I love my other Hoka shoes!

I thought these sandals were great, both comfortable and durable but the heel straps tore and delaminated in the first month.
