My husband bought these for me as a Christmas gift, he was told they are great for walking, they are not.I tried to exchange them but customer service overwhelmed me ,I wish he would have made it more simple . I never wore them outside, they bother my feet and ankles. My husband and brother are big fans, I wish I was, they are just going to sit in closet.

They are very comfortable, expensive but hopefully worth the price. I just has a hip replacement..

The fit and size were perfect. They are the Ugliest shoes I have but the most comfortable and I can go for miles even though I have plantar fasciitis in one foot and surgery on the other. I even wore them to an intense Zumba class and did real well. They look heavy but they're not. They are pricey compared to some of the other brands, but if you have foot problems, give these a try.
I'd also recommend:
Adidas and Asics

The hype is true about the cushioning! It is like walking on pillows. However, it does run narrow and I sized up half a size. I really wanted to love this shoe, but unfortunately the arch support area was situated in too far back towards my heel and started to hurt my feet within a few minutes walking around the house. I wanted to give them a second chance and tried them on again a couple days later replacing the sole insert. Same issue! This was how the shoe was designed and it didn’t work for me, so I had to return them. I suggest trying them for yourself…your foot may be a perfect match!

I've always had feet issues and had heard alot of good things about Hoka so thought I'd give it a try. They fit well, but my feet hurt more now than they did before and because I kept wanting to make them work, I continued wearing them past the 30 days. Now I'm stuck. Also the heel fabric is already ripping.

I work 9 hour days in a hospital and my feet never hurt at the end of the day. I do wear inserts for arch support which help. But these Hokas are incredibly comfortable with plenty of cushioning for my 64 year old feet!

I love these shoes so much that I have three pair and am looking at some of the other colors. I've always been an ASICS Kayano fan for walking and everyday wear, but developed plantar fasciitis and some heel spurs when I started walking a lot, following back surgery. So I found these and love them.
However.the back of the shoe, although nicely cushioned is not sturdy and falls. It's like a memory foam that gets pushed down when you put your foot inside. And once it's down there it makes your foot feel like it's slipping out. I called Hoka and they were amazing and sent me a new pair, but advised me that since it wasn't a "defect", but the way I put my foot into the shoe (I don't think I'm doing something unusual), I should use a shoe horn to slide my foot into the shoe, so I don't push down the cushion in the back. What?!!??? This is definitely a defect in the shoe design; I've never had an issue with ASICS, Nike, New Balance, Adidas or Brooks (and yes, I've worn all those brands).
Please do something about this issue. I can't believe I'm sliding my foot into the shoe differently than probably 100% of the world and don't have time to grab a shoe horn each time I put on a tennis shoe.
With that said, I am still going to buy another pair cuz I love everything else about this shoe and Hokaplus I like to match my shoes to my workout wear.
P.S. System doesn't seem to allow me to add pics, or I'd show you what I'm talking about.

I have had bad foot pain for 5 months from a differnt brand shoe. HOKAs came 2 days ago and today is the first day i can step out of bed without limping in pain. I did have to change the insert. The first day i did not like them, but they broke in and now im pain free!

I am thrilled with how great these shoes feel! Full 8 hour day walking on concrete floors at my job-no problem. Full day at an amusement park-easy peasy. I have difficult to fit feet and wear custom orthotics. Love my HOKAS!!

Way. Too. Narrow. The WIDE options fit much better, but unfortunately, limited color selections for wide when it's offered. And OMG — the inserts on ALL Hokas need to be replaced. They cut into the arch of your foot :-(

The Hoka Bondi, recommended to me by my foot surgeon after fusion. I have tried so many size/width combinations trying to get a correct fit (thank you Zappos for your patience!), but Im finding a recurring theme of heel slippage in the back, and a very narrow and tight toe box. To me, it feels like cramming my toes into a tiny triangle-shaped high heel. Only 3 of my toes fit properly in this shoe, and the end 2 toes are completely squished due to the narrow toe box. I don't know why Hoka would do this for a show that is largely used by those with orthopedic issues, but it's very disappointing. Just trying on the shoe very badly aggravated my nerve damage in my feet. I'm trying one more size of this shoe before giving up. If only this shoe would fit better/properly, the sole/underfoot support feels excellent.
Anyone else reading this with severe foot issues/fusions: try the New Balance Fresh Foam More. Very soft underfoot and wider toe box.

I purchased a size 11 based on a recommendation from my foot doctor. She told me they would help me from my Plantar Faciatis.
With in two days it was a remarkable change in my pain and within 10 days, the pain was virtually gone and now it is gone! I wear they everyday when I take my walk and truly they are incredibly comfortable. Worth every penny!!
