I've always worn Brooks, but I've heard great things about Hoka so I thought I would give them a try. I followed the advice of the show finder and these are what was recommended at my best match. They are not supportive at all and feel like cheap sketchers to me. I'm giving them some time, but will most likely be returning and switching back to Brooks.

My first pair or Hokas; chosen for their claim to be a cross training shoe. They feelcheap? I don't have particularly narrow feet but have to lace them to cinch in my heel to avoid slippage. They don't feel supportive during HIIT exercises, they feel better running on the treadmill but still not great. Also the knit material makes them super hard to clean so they looked grubby a week in. Bleh.

They were a bit big and the right shoe on the heel is has like a hole or something because it feels weird and is uncomfortable and at the end of the day my feet hurt I had heard good things about this shoes but I'm not having a good experience maybe another model I don't know. Now I'm hesitant if I should order another pair.

I have used these for pavement walking-the first pair purchased (Rincon) the Soles didnt last me, worn less than one month. HOKA credited and made good. When I ordered I asked Customer Support what Sole she recommended for pavement walking -she said to try the Solimar, so I did. I started wearing them on May 17th after a few walks, soles are already worn down like the first pair. I guess the Soles are too Soft for me?

I have plantar fasciitis and have been trying to find a shoe for playing tennis that would produce less pain than other tennis shoes. This one is about the same as Adidas.

It took about a week for me to figure out they were tight and started rubbing a sore spot. Too late too return now unfortunately.

I only wore these inside to Jazzercise . Carried them in my gym bag. They were very comfortable but after a week or so I noticed black particles on the floor. When I looked at the bottom of the shoe- the rubber had started chipping off. I sent them back and will try again; hopefully this shoe stays intact!

I wear Hoka shoes all the time. This shoe is first of all a half size too big, doesn't have the soft bottom as hoka shoes do and it's very narrow... even the wide kind. It just doesn't work for me.

Love the look and feel of these shoes. Even have a second pair not worn yet because I wanted to make sure I have backups for when these get old. Less than two months wearing them, the soles are wearing out and parts actually coming unglued. Way too expensive for that. I’m so sad about this because these are the first shoes I’ve found that my horribly painful feet can tolerate. Hoping Zappos will exchange them for a new pair since I have not had them long. Finger crossed

Very comfy at first but after exactly two weeks of wearing them to walk/run/work out the heels have begun to wear and they dig into my ankles

I got these shoes as a gift for Christmas and actually really enjoyed them! I felt they were the perfect fit for my feet in terms of comfort! Unfortunately, the bottom of the shoes are falling apart already and I have only worn them for one month. This is really upsetting to me because originally I would have bought these shoes again but now I am worried I will have to buy a new pair of shoes every month if I did that.

I actually really enjoyed these shoes, I felt they had the right amount of comfort and fit my feet perfectly, they quickly became my favorite running shoes! Unfortunately, I have only had them since a little after Christmas (as they were a gift from my grandparents) and they have already worn out. Although I love the shoes I don't know if I can bring myself to buy another pair when I know they won't be able to be worn in a month due to the soles falling apart.

I got these in white and there were finally a great replacement to the arahi 5. So I got two more pairs in black (in case they get discontinued) but got them in black and the fit was tighter and smaller. Not sure why the color mattered but my big toe and side of foot hurt in the black color

The cushioning is great, but the shoe was too wide to be supportive even though I ordered a medium, and it runs big.

As a big Hola fan for years, I figured it was time for a new pair as I wear mine near daily to the gym classes I take. Love them for their big cushioning with my high impact moves. These are not super cushioned as my last pair is. Big disappointment. Won't be wearing them for high impact classes. They're ok for no impact classes (boring).

I go to a work out class 4-5 times a week and have been wearing these since I asked for them for Christmas. They have dug into my ankles and have given me blisters. It is impossible to move side to side in these shoes because it hurts so bad. They are so stiff -- there's no sign that I've began to break them in at all. Only get these if you want to wear to them walking around on your day to day! So disappointed.

I bought these to go from running/walking to cross-training, but unfortunately, these just did not fit the bill. They feel very rigid, which is great for cross-training, but it left me with some pain trying to use them for walking and running. I missed the beloved cushiony feeling of my other HOKAs, so I returned these. The fuchsia color was pretty though! Other than feeling a bit more narrow in the toe box (compared to other HOKAs), these were true to size.

I was expecting them to be as comfortable as the speedgoat 5, since they are supposed to have the same stability and cushion. Sadly, these don't feel the same. I couldn't try them in store so I ordered them online. I am an 8.5 Wide, and these feel like a size 9 Wide. Also, I tried to return them but wasn't counting that I would have to pay ~$40 dollars out of my pocket to get my money back. I will keep them, but they didn't fulfill my expectations.
