I loved the color, and they felt good on, but the sole of the shoe is extremely wide on the inside heel area, it sticks out like no shoes I've ever seen and I kept kicking it when I walked so these just weren't going to work for me.

Just waiting for shoes to clear so I can choose another pair since your policy is a gift card credit.
I'd also recommend:
Hokas, New balance, Nike.

The length of the shoe seemed to be correct but the heel slipped up and down on my heel with socks and without. The support appeared to be great. The space above my foot was way too much - bulky not too wide from toe to toe just my feet are boney not fleshy.

Under Armour; Asics

First, the shoe is as described, but I expected it to be more comfortable.
I found it very stiff with a smaller toe-box and a half size too small compared with my other Hoka shoes.

Still trying the shoes out. Bought a half size down and the heel does not slip as bad as the 6.5 I first ordered. The 6.5 size in another style, the heel did not slipotherwise should be another great shoe.

Does not fit as well as the bondi's. Slick bottoms. I purchased for work and I can't wear them because I slip all over the place. They do feel comfortable and are waterproof.

Good steady shoe. Great support. My concern is they are not waterproof as stands. Twice I have worn outside when raining for a short time and both time my sock was damp when I returned. I despise wet socks. Ex specially when the product is advertised as being waterproof.

These are not all comfy like I expected. The sole of them makes you think they have to be fabulous. But they aren't any better than any other shoe I've tried. Only difference is these are way over priced

I will be returning these shoes. Slightly too big, laces don't stay tied and poor color choices. I miss my old Hoka hiking shoes!!

The sole of the shoe is great. But the lace design just is so uncomfortable you have to keep your laces very loose, borderline falling off for it not to dig in. Then it rained here. Unsure if it's because it's Florida rain or what but the shoe just absorbed all the water. It was comfortable - went around 13 miles but the laces and the no water proof was a bummer

I liked the bottom of the shoes & their stability.
They were too wide for my feet, even with different lacing and thick hiking socks.
If these came in narrow or regular width sizes, they would be perfect.

Love the quality of the shoe, very well made. I am finding that the tongue is uncomfortable on the top of my foot, feels like it's pinching, not laced super tight either. I also find that the opening of the shoe is too big, doesn't allow shoe to be laced up securely to keep heel from slipping up and down, the shoes are correct in sizing as my toes reach the toe of the shoe and heel is at the back of the shoe. Just need extra eyelets to lace up further or a smaller opening in next model. Trying to get used to them, have worn them 3 times now and I just try not to think about the issues.

These fit fine and theres plenty of toe room but the sole is quite stiff, causing the heel to slip because theres so little flex available. I must tie them very tightly to avoid this slippage. They keep my feet dry and that was why I kept them but they're not my first choice among my Hokas by far.

I bought my usual size in other (Bondis) Hokas, but these are longer with a stiff sole, and a narrow toe box. Consequently, I had to return them.

Love my Hoka's. This is my third pair. One slight problem is that I have always worn 9.5 size and my first two pairs were that size. When I ordered this third pair, 9.5, they were too big. Thanks to your very good exchange policy I was able to send those back and receive size 9. I will continue to purchase my walking shoes from you and spread the word!

I love the style of the shoe, and it's as comfortable as you'd expect a Hoka shoe to be. But I wore them to work and found the soles to be slippery on damp floors. The first day I wore them, I almost wiped out on the vinyl tile floors at the RMV. I'd have thought a trail shoe would have a sole with some grip? I still like them, but it's something I will have to stay aware of.

Unfortunately I bought these shoes and the sizing is way off. I was measured for hook and was towed. I am a 7 1/2 wide. I bought a 7 1/2 in this shoe and on the European end it says that it's an eight but in the US, it says it's a 7 1/2 way too big and because it was a exception from my Bondi ate shoe that prematurely wore out on my heel. They said I would not be able to return it even though it is brand new for an exchange for a smaller size or a different kind. Very disappointing.

This GTX is heavy. If you're looking for a heavy shoe this one is for you. To date I haven't had any luck with either pair of HOKA that I have purchased.

SIZING with HOKA shoes is NOT consistent, very frustrating. Especially when exchanging, you have to wait weeks to get replacements of different sizes and if that size doesn't work, it'll be months until you find the right shoe size.
NARROW/CONSTRICTING. I tried a 6 and then a 6.5. The 6.5 fit a tiny bit better, gave more tip of my toes room but I can feel the sides of my feet being squeezed and I can barely wiggle my toes.
POORLY MADE, the inner lining has been loose on both pairs I tried.
RETURNING AND NOT REPURCHASING

The style is great and it looks very nice, but I bought them a size down after buying anothe pair in my hoka regular size which is 8.5, the 8 fitted perfect but I walked with them inside my house for 2 hours and my feet started tu hurt, not to mention my legs. I intended to use these for my trip to Camino de Santiago, I am a hoka transport fan, I have them in almost every color available, they are practically my every day shoe when I travel, I have walked 12-13 miles in a day wth them and havent ever felt discomfort, so I was expecting the same or much more from these kaha 2, but I am returnig them because I dont think I am going to use them after all, I prefer to walk the Camino de Santiago with the hoka transports gtx that I alreeady have and if they are very worn at the end of the trip, I will gladly buy one more pair to replace them because they are so comfortable!!!

I have a narrow heel but need a somewhat wide toe box. These felt OK in the toes, but too wide in the heel and mid-foot. Even when lacing through both top eyelets my heel lifted a bit. Also, my ankle rubbed against the side. FWIW I wear 8 1/2 in Merrells, and have a pair of 8 1/2 Hoka running-type shoes that fit OK.
