The double gusseted tongue is too tight and my foot gets numb and they are just short at the big toe. Not the style for me...will try Bondi8 next.

I am a HUGE Clifton Edge Fan so naturally when the 8 and 9 came out i did not hesitate to try them.. BIG disappointment. way too much cushion and just didn't "feel" good on my foot.
please consider bringing back the edge or design a shoe very similar.

Love this sneakerI stand all day and it's like walking on clouds. BUT, the tongue is HORRIBLE It's a deal breaker for me and I can't/won't buy another sneaker with the tongue this way. I've had a Hip and a knee replacement. Even with a shoe horn, the tongue pushes inside the sneaker. What a pain in the neck to pull it back out.

These did not wear as well as my Bondi 7 style. These lost their treads after just 6 months, making them very slippery.

I was hopeful this Hoka would work for me. I have tried others and they were too cushy, not enough support. This one has an extended back sole, which I did not notice when ordering. It makes me think of a rocket and adds length and a weird look to the shoe in my opinion. As per the fit, it was a bit large lengthwise compared to the 9.5 I bought in the Clifton. Overall, I did not find them as comfortable as I expected and sent them back.

I bought these in 10.5. My pinky toes hurt after wearing them. Very disappointed for price. I'm not sure why all the sizing is off. The wide widths fall off my feet.

the first purchase was a black, and its thong left a black stain on my sock in both size. I returned it. Second change same model other color, The thong rubbered my lower ankle and left a wound on my skin (I was wearing ankle socks so it was above the sock) . I am still keeping those, however I am not happy at 100%.

I love the shoe, they fit great, but it's very light and not as meaty as I have come to expect from Hokas

I've owned several pairs of Mach 5 and never had this issue. The material rubs off on socks/ankles and stained my socks.

I was expecting white shoes, but these have a white background with an off-white top layer making them look dirty.

They were less cushioned or supportive than my old Brooks. Getting more Brooks Levitate.

I have worn the ASIC gel kayano forever but this year’s model is weird. And everyone is raving about Hoka. It felt fine on my foot except that my heal kept coming out. And I do not understand why it has that horn at the heel! The best thing about the shoe was the tongue which was so comfortable. But they are no better than the kayano 30. I will try and find more pairs of the other years gel kayano
I'd also recommend:
Asics

These shoes are a little flimsy. They didn’t hug my feet with my orthotics the way the Biondi 7’s do. I wish they hadn’t stopped making them. These also have a very thin tongue. No support.

I have the Mach 4 and wanted another pair but all that was available was the Mach 5. Returning because the Mach 5 didn't have the much cushioning in the tongue or the rest of the shoe. Mach 4 was perfect for my very bony feet--this one was not.

I previously bought I believe a Bondi pair, this pair that I just got, I wore once and I would like to return them, they just don't fit as nicely or as comfortably as the Bondi.
I have had frequent fractures in my feet and need a good solid comfortable well fitted shoe

I almost exclusively wear the saucony endorphine speed as an everyday trainer shoe but wanted to add another shoe to my rotation. When I first opened the Hoka, I thought they sent me the wrong size, these shoes are MASSIVE and maybe that is the style now. I tried them out on a 2 mile run and I felt like I was running in clown shoes. They are nice shoes but just not the shoe for me.

This is my second pair that I purchased. I absolutely love the shoes....but there is no consistency with sizing. I purchased one size in a different style and it is almost too small. Decided to try have a size bigger in another style and it was like putting on clown shoes. So I ordered this one the same size as my first pair and the shoe is almost too big. While I love the shoe I decided to not purchase them online and to buy in store only until the sizing is figured out! But I definitely recommend! They are so light and comfy despite the size struggles!

These did not fit me well. I usually wear Asics and, as they stretch out, I'm used to being able to pull the laces tighter and get a good fit and support throughout my entire foot. These shoes, just new and out of the box, were either of a material that didn't seem to be able to pull together tightly, or were just wider than Asics and thus couldn't be made as snug. And I thought Asics were getting too wide in the toe box! But, I'm returning these and going back to Asics.
