Customer Reviews Hoka Kawana

These were my 6th pair of Hokas over many years. Although I usually love them, these gave me blisters until I "broke them in". They are okay with extra thick socks but the fit is definitely sub-par. The wide soles which extend beyond the sole plate make the shoe dangerous going up and down stairs. I should have returned them but I didn't save the receipt as I bought them on a trip.

Received on 1-5-24, have warn approximately 15 times. Put them on tonight to go for a run and the eyelet for the laces ripped straight through. First Hoka purchase and was so excited will never buy the brand again.

This shoe is uncomfortable, runs wayyyy toooo big compared to other Hoka styles. Don't waist your $.

I ordered these sneakers and wore them once. The second time I went to put them on as I went to tie the laces, the fabric to one of the laces popped and snapped where the hoke holds the lace. I had to return them. HOKA sent me a new pair and when I got them I went to try them on and the same thing happened! The fabric snapped and ripped immediately! It's incredible to me that this could happen twice! I have never had this experience ever with a sneaker or shoe! I will return this pair tomorrow and get a refund.

These are my fourth pair of Hoka shoes and this style is not comfortable at all. The arch feels like it's not lined up to my foot. My feet are already hurting and this has never happened before with Hokas.

Heel felt like it was sitting in a crater and the sole and toes of my foot too high in comparison. Third pair I've tried, not a fan of Hoka sneakers !!

Why no wides ? So tired of not being able to get wides for Women. I wear the Bondi but I would love other shoes from Hoka. And, tired of the most of the wides coming in black, white and grey ! Come on Hoka we deserve nice shoes too. And, there are plenty of us out here who need wide .

The shoes cause pain in my feet I had to return it

I bough the HOKA Kawana. I was super excited to try these as they came highly recommended. At first I loved the cushy feel but then walking or training in them HURTS the outside of my feet. I keep trying to give them another chance but they haven't gotten any better.

I bought these after hearing rave reviews. But they hurt my feet. I tried both indoor and outdoor workouts. I tried just walking in them. After 10 minute my feet are aching no matter what I do. Not sure if I'll try Hoka brand again.

Everyone raves about Hokas. So I decided to purchase two pair. These and Clifton 9. I am a bartender and need comfort for long shifts. I was shocked at how uncomfortable these both were. They just aren't for me. My hips, calves and feet after a 8 hour slower shift felt like I had run a marathon and worked a 15 hour shift.

Not worth the hype.

I have had these for a few weeks now and they are very uncomfortable. Hard to walk in and causes a lot of calf cramps. Whether it's walking through the airport or a 2 mile run, very uncomfortable.

Shoe was not comfortable and felt off balance

I love the color and design. Cannot wear them because the seam on the inside of the left sho rubs my foot and is extremely painful.

This is my second Hoka purchase and they are extremely uncomfortable.

For these to be running shoes they are very heavy and bulky. The back of the shoe rides right on your ankle and they are not comfortable at all. Feels like im walking with bricks on.

I bought 2 pairs of shoes. One didn't fit and the other had obviously been worn so I initiated a return and received a USPS label, which was very blurry. I gave it to the mailman and he said they don't scan them, that a 3rd party (UPS, FedEx, etc) is contracted by HOKA to pick them up at the post office and the 3rd party would scan it. After 2 weeks there was still no credit or tracking. I called customer service (Tenay) who was very helpful. She said they have had problems with blurry labels and that since it had been two weeks they would credit it. 10 days later I get an email saying they don't have tracking and cannot credit it. I explained about the blurry label and my conversations with both the post office about their third party process and my conversation with Tenay who said it would be credited. Now I'm being ghosted. No response-no credit. I will never purchase from them again.

I tried this shoes for about 1 and 1/2 weeks and right away they were really uncomfortable. However, I thought that maybe I just needed to "break them in". Unfortunately, even after a week and half they are extremely uncomfortable and make my feet ache. I am the process of trying to return this shoes.

There is so many seams at your arch and it cut right through my socks and feet. I was only able to make it about a mile into my 5K before I was in pain and had to completely call it quits at 2.5miles. Maybe they're just not meant for people with flatter feet. They also feel a lot heavier than I expected. The only upside was they had a nice spring to them and the fabric stretches well and doesn't feel constricting on my toes.

Haven't had them for even a month and the tops have come detached from the fabric. I am a hoka lover so don't know why this happened. I have had a lot of pairs before
