Customer Reviews Hoka Kawana

I've had 3 bondi. Only shoes that have had a thick and padded enough sole for my arthritis. The problem is I really wear AAA width ( with a AAAA heel in a perfect world). I use Orthoheel Active inserts for pronation and to fill up the shoe and then wear thick wool socks for best fit. I'm recovering from an ankle injury and the movement I have in the bondi isn't safe for me anymore. I ordered N in New Balance, Brooks and asics and I could feel my forefoot bones on the floor, yikes! So I started investigating the Hoka site and Kawana reviews kept coming up as "too narrow" and they were plush! So I got them and they do fit much narrower (still with inserts and thick socks but I have to tie them so tight, I can't wear all day) and my bones are pain free. Hooray! HOKA! PLEASE REMAKE THE KAWANA INTO YOUR FIRST NARROW SHOE!!! YOU WILL MAKE SO MUCH HAPPINESS AND EXPAND YOU FAN BASE TOO!

Bondi was not for me, but one exchange later I've found the right amount of cushion & stability to keep me moving and completely stop my hamstring from barking at me.

Keeps my knees from hurting and keeps my knees strong

I workout and work in this shoe. The color is great and the fit is fantastic!

I love this shoe, after long clinical days my feet don't ache! They were a little tight but I figured they just need to be broken in!

I use this tennis shoes for work and since day one they fit me great I had no problem to brake them like other shoes.

I have other Hoka shoes for running and trails, but this shoe is amazing for walks and casual outings. So comfy. Puts a spring in my step. Fits my wider feet which is a BIG a plus!

Great shoe for running,walking, and general wear. Love them like the other 11 pairs of Hoka shoes that I own. Hoka is my go to brand for sure.

I use these for workouts and walking and they are great. I thought I would regret not getting the extra thick ones but No, these have great support for my knees .

Not only does it look good but I feel like I'm walking on air!! I wear them for my daily walk and for my regular workout routine!!

Bought these for my granddaughter and she loves them! She loved the peach color and how comfortable they are!

I use these in the gym and they couldn't be comfortable and suited for cross training.

I don't wanna brag or anything but since getting these shoes I've been beating my average mile time by a whole minute! My only thing is which I'm hoping breaking them in more will fix it as I feel like it's a little too snug on the top of my feet so I keep the laces a little looser than normal But maybe it's because it's so brand new and overtime it will flex out. My knees don't hurt while running anymore and it's been over a month with this purchase. Will be buying another pair soon.

I walk city streets which can be rough and uneven, but I know these shoes will not fail me. It's amazing that shoes can be lightweight and strong, and very good looking.

I own 8-9 pair of Hoka shoes. I love all of them. In fact I have several models in different colors. I love all of them. The Kawana do run a bit large so if you are not doing heavy walking or running you may want to size down. I like a little extra room plus I use my shoes for walking and running so I stayed with my normal size. I suffer from plantar fasciitis and the Hoka line-up are one of the few shoes that provide relief. For me they are worth the price.

Perfect for my feet. Great at outdoor walking. Feels strange on a treadmill.

Plan to walk and hike in them

I work on my feet for over 12 hours a day. The kind of hours that you feel ok until you sit down for the drive home and when you get out of your car can't walk. My feet hurt so bad I wanted to crawl to my front door. I tried several top brands and they felt the same. The Hokas I bought give me the ability to skip to front door after a long day. Truly impressed.

I absolutely love HOKA, I have 3 pairs now

I wear them to work and they are very comfortable.

I do a lot of balance training & this is a great shoe for that

I work in a hospital so I'm constantly on my feet. To be honest, I didn't know how I felt about these shoes after the first day because my heel hurt pretty badly during my shift. Go through the pain though, it's worth it. I absolutely love my Hoka's. They're soooo comfortable and huge perk that they come in so many different colors. 100% worth the price.
