Normally wear 7.5 regular/Medium width, ordered same, this was way to wide mid foot and toe box. I don't have a probation problem but this shoe has zero arch support. Heel was well supported

Absolutely love all my Hoka's except with narrow feet I can't order men's, who always tend to have more and better color choices.
Deep Ocean, the new olive that the Clifton 9 just got .
Please consider more colors.

I have had the shoes for less than 2 months and the bottom rubber is already tearing off. I wear these 1-2 times a week to walk 1.5-2 miles around the neighborhood. For the price point, this is unacceptable because my Nike and Adidas that I had for years are holding up much better.

The shoes felt good … the problem was the slant of the back of the heels made me feel like I was going to fall backwards! I don’t have good balance so that feeling didn’t work for me!!

This shoe almost was perfect. However, as the fit was just about right, it still felt uncomfortable. For that price, it need to be perfect.

I LOVE the Clifton and Bondi's but thought i might need a bit more stabilization. Unfortunately with that I guess I have to give on the cushion. My plantar factitious came back with these shoes. It was a risk to try something new - if you don't need additional cushion for your heels these would be great!

I've purchased size 9.5 in 2 or 3 other Hoka styles, fits great - no issues. Not this one, felt like my foot was going to pop out the top of the show. Have initiated exchange for size larger, but taking its sweet time to get here...

Love this shoe! Unfortunately the right shoe fits large, too long in length and to wide in the heel. This causes it to slip even when laced tight.

I have decided to keep this shoe because it is a little better for playing tennis with plantar fasciitis than other shoes. However, I wish HOKA would design a shoe specifically for playing tennis.

I really like these shoes, very comfy, took a little getting used to the way the soles are though, anxious to see how they hold up for my walking routine, which can be anywhere from 4-7 miles a day. may try a 9 next time

I've had these shoes for only a couple weeks and it's already showing signs of wear . Unacceptable for how much the shoes cost

Comfortable but I feel a little lopsided. My feet still hurt. It could just be me though.

This is my first time trying the Kawana and I was not immediately taken. The toe box is narrow (I do not have wide feet) and pinched my pinky toe and also runs shorter. I usually take an 8.5 in Hokas, but I would need a 9 in this. I am not sure if this would provide more width. Comfort and support felt like it was average. Not as cushy as other Hokas, but I don't necessarily want a mattress either under my feet neither. Since I am not sold on the style, I will just go back to my other tried and true Hokas.

I've been a runner for at least 20 years so I e tried many shoes and these aren't the right fit for me. The sole feels stiff and the fabric at the bottom doesn't feel very breathable, like polyester. I tried!

I use the sneakers for Zumba, cardio exercises, spine, etc.
Honestly, I thought it would be a more comfortable sneaker. It feels very average. And for the price, not sure I'll buy another.

I love these shoes as far as style and comfort goes, however, I don't understand why this expensive of a shoe wouldn't be designed in a way for longevity. After only about 3 weeks they're totally scuffed and and extremely hard to clean.

These generally fit great. The reason I had to return was that I have narrow heels and these were super wide in the heel. I have had two other pairs of Hokas and they have fit perfectly. In these, my heels would lift out of the shoe if I stood on tiptoe.
Other than that, my only other beef would be that it has a short tongue/laces. It can feel a little less secure near the top of the foot/ankle due to that.
PROS: Roomy toe box, natural fit throughout, felt springy when I walked, extremely supportive.

I have always had trouble with shoes rubbing in my pinky toe. Ordered a size wide hoping they would work. Spent 1/2 the day in them then noticed my pinky toe was hurting. Im sad because i really wanted these to be the shoes i buy over and over. May be Hoka has suggestions to stretch out the toe box?!

they look cool. they're comfortable enough but i can really only wear them as trainers. they're not comfortable on treadmill or casual walking which is kind of a bummer.

These are super cute shoes but not as comfortable as I thought they would be! They are kind of flat and don't have much arch support. Not great for people with high arches.
