Customer Reviews Hoka Kawana

I bought these because they were recommended for arch support and cross training on the website. The arch support is almost non existent.

I feel like the Kawanas that were recommended for me are a little big and lack support . Maybe that's the sizing or the shoe itself.

I really liked the unique fit of the Kawana when I tried them at my local store, but they did not have my size in anything but boring black so I ordered them on the Hoka site. They were initially back ordered but eventually arrived. In the meantime I showed the style to my podiatrist, she pooh-poohed them so I sent them back and purchased $160 Bondis at my store at doctor's suggestion. Can't say that I've EVER had sneakers at this price. They're comfortable enough but figured they'd be magical. They feel like I'm wearingwait for it..SNEAKERS! Let's hope my feet start screaming "Hallelujah! Money well-spent, Sue!".

Well made and comfortable

I wore these around the house for a few minutes, and the comfort is amazing and so is the stabilization. Even though I bought my regular size they are so big. Not sure if this is a brand issue or just this specific model.

Fit well, looked great, but did not support my arches enough on a one mile walk.

Lightweight and comfortable shoes

I have plantar fasciitis and was hoping that the padding on the shoes would help. Unfortunately, they were not comfortable with the added insoles and they seemed big.

Super cute and really light weight. Please take the advice of this company and know that if it does not say "wide", then they truly mean not meant for wide feet. Hoping to break mine in soon.

Since the beloved 2017 Stinson, this kawana has a Best fit, wider toe box, but, there is literally no tread. Hence, potential slip N slide.

Not as forgiving in comfort. Bondi has more support

I have supination and after 3 weeks of wearing this sneakers I started to experience shin pain, which I used to have before I discovered bondi 7. So I ended up exchanging the kawana for a bondi 8, my feet and leg needs the plush and comfort that the bondi sneakers are well known for it.

Love the look of this shoe. However I'm experiencing a weird fit issue. The heel is loose on my foot. If I tighten up my shoe, the top of my foot starts to fall asleep - so it's not something I can adjust. I may need to buy a type of heel insert.

These shoes are so comfortable but they get so dirty. I have had them for 2 months and I only wear them to the gym and on walks but they are black with maybe gym or dirty stains? Can't figure out how to make them white again. Definitely don't order the white ones.

I love Clifton 7. Haven't liked much else. Waiting for the return of something like that.

I like how they look, but wish the tongue wasn't connected to the shoe. I don't like this type of design. Shoe is a bit narrow.

This was my first pair of hokas and I was not impressed. I purchased the kawanna and it just felt like my heel kept popping out the back of the shoe, like the shoe wasn't deep enough to hold in my heel.

I like it but it would be more comfortable if has a insoles gel since your products aren't not cheap. I wanted to exchange or return but I am too busy at work i only wear them once

Ugly and uncomfortable. I'm seriously disappointed

Normal size is a W-10 but purchased a 10.5 based on 2 recommendations from footwear (HOKA) specialists. This is for post-surgery foot support. Shoe does not fit well.

I have three pairs of hokas. I bought these hoping they would help with some knee pain and unfortunately they were pressing against my inner foot next to my arch. While walking and running. So sadly I had to return them. I will still get hokas but not these.

Recovering from foot surgery last year and looking for a shoe with cushioning. These Hokas are great for that but I did have to replace the insole because it had such a hard sharp lip to it that my instep was developing an odd blister in a long line where the insole edge cut in. (my feet have high instep and are NOT wide-) I took the HoKA insoles out and added in a basic pair and the shoes are finally wearable. Long days on my feet but feeling good with this supreme cushioning. For the high cost they should work on replacing the defective insole. Small tweaking to be done to make this shoe a

My left shoes fits wonderfully. The right shoe feels like something is constantly poking my heel. Not sure what that's about.

This is my third pair of Hookas and unfortunately the least comfortable. Run narrow and not as cushiony as my previous cross trainers- If only I remembered their style name None the less, they are good for HIIT and gym, haven't heard any foot or calf issues while working out w them
