Customer Reviews Hoka Kawana

Started a new workout routine an wanted fresh shoes. I love the comfort and minimal details on these shoes.

I have had my first pair of Hokas for 20 days! Today I went to tighten up my shoe laces and no i wasn't pulling hard, and the hole for the shoelace popped in half. The hole obviously was punched a little close to the edge and broke. Besides this, I love them, I prefer them over On Clouds.

Good for recovery and offer great support for your arches. Just not the best for speed work but overall great shoe and cute colors.

Nice shoe, comfortable but bulky

They work well and great for my training! They did run just a little bigger than the other hokas I own so keep that in mind but it's nothing that I mind.

They're comfy and bouncy but I had to purchase 3 pairs before I found the size that fit my comfortably. I would size down .5-1 whole size. Normally wear 9.5 but got 8.5 that fits with a thin sock.

Very comfy! Most of the reviews said true to size they run a little big. I would need a 1/2-1 size smaller. The shoes are still workable, I just notice some sliding around more than I would like. I will order another pair in the correct size to compare.

These shoes seem to be the ones my feet and my plantar fasciitis like, so I'll keep buying them as long as that remains true.

They were quite comfortable on a leisure walk.

I love the look and want to keep them but am afraid they are too narrow. Does this style come in W. I have the Biondi's in wide and they fit perfectly. Please advise. Thanks. Gretchen Teran

I wear them most every day and love the support and traction they give! I would have every color if I could.

I was so excited about these! I loved the tread! Perfect fit both road and trail running. I loved the copper and black shoe. I have bought Hokas for almost a decade. This one fit a little long. But my problem was that my heel slipped out. That was my primary reason I exchanged them. The Bondi and Gaviota are my favorite. They both have the ultra plush foot cradle and a good plush heel that prevents the slip. This one was not as plush, as denoted.. I initially picked them for their sole/tread. The Bondi do feel a little flat for a trail and the tread seems to wear quickly on the Bondi. I would really have loved to try the Bondi X but they were priced too high for me.

I haven't ever worn a pair of 5 star shoes..yet. But I believe that Hoka could be there. I will try another pair at some point, I don't have normal feet, i require more cushioning, but this brand is top notch in that department so far. Thanks for a really pretty good pair of shoes.

Looks sharp and great design.I got the black with copper and ot looks classy..The feel is super comfy!

I loved the look of the shoe but it was too wide in the upper foot area.

For arch support I don't have very much of an arch

I obsessed with my Hoka's and I have not stopped talking about them to anyone who will listen. I think I should become a brand ambassador for the brand. My only concern is that they run a bit big. I sized down half a size but probably should have sized down a whole size.

Great walking shoe

I love the cushion and shock absorbing...and shoe looks sharp (black with caramel trim.) I have a tender spot on back of my right ankle from poor fitting bootlets this winter (I got rid of them.) The ankle back of these tennis shoes hit the newly healed spot. The scoop of sides then raised heel outer band does not help or support my ankle. Hate to wear a bandaid to buffer during action workouts. Otherwise, I'm noticing serious athletes I know are wearing HOKA, too bad on my ankle issue in them.

I love the look! I was ready to wear my new Kawanas but when I tried them on my heel slipped out of the shoe ASAP. I'm returning and ordering the Clifton style, my mainstay! I would recommend these, but if you have narrow feet/heels, you may want to stay with your other HOKA products.

I got my first pair to wear at work (veterinary technician), where I'm on my feet all day. They are supportive and comfortable and they look good!

This is my first purchase from Hoka and my only complaint is my arched get a little sore if I wear these for too long. I weight light often and even though she were a recommended pair for that type of training, it doesn't suit me personally for it. If I'm doing other types of exercises like cardio or walking, they work well.

These shows are SO pretty, first of all. They're also comfortable for the gym and feel supportive so far. My only issue is that they run narrower than an average shoe. I noticed that other reviewers mentioned this, and I do wish I would have listened because my pinky toes poke out against the edges a bit. I decided to keep them since I only use them for 1 hr/day at the gym, hate mailing things back, and honestly just love the colors, but if I were using them for running or walking, I would have returned them for another shoe. I will note that my feet are a bit wider than the average foot, though not enough to have gone for wide shoes just yet. But even looking at them, they just look narrower than other shoes. They feel to me like they are made for narrow feet.

Taking a longer time to break in and feel comfortable in. So hard to tell if this will be better for longer distance as other people recommend, but it's still a comfortable shoe and not a bad option!

I LOVE these shoes! I have been tempted to just wear them around the house because they are so incredibly comfortable. Feels like I am walking on a cloud with so much support.
