Very comfortable but too narrow for my son's feet. Also not long enough - we will try 9.5 but 9 was recommended when we did the size calculation here.

This is my first HOKA purchase, and I can honestly say it won't be my last. These shoes are perfect for my 10-hr nursing shift. My feet aren't tired or sore by the end of a long day, and the shoes are very lightweight. My feet are on the narrow side, so shoes often slip on my heel, but not with these. They are definitely worth every penny and are my most comfortable sneakers by far.

I ordered two pairs of Hoka sneakers for the first time to decide which would work better since I was looking for something to walk in Florida. I am keeping this pair! Trellis/Balsam Green is a nice color, as well!

I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THESE SHOES!! I'M USING THEM FOR GARDENING AS I WAS TIRED OF USING MY OTHER HOKA'S. SO I THOUGHT I 'D GIVE THESE A CHANCE AND WOWZA!! I WAS BLOWN AWAY. NOT ONLY ARE THEY SUPER, UBER COMFORTABLE (PER THE HOKA SHOE) BUT WATERPROOF AND HELD UP WELL IN MY DAILY GARDENING ACTIVITY! THANK YOU HOKA! THIS GARDENING GAL NEEDED A LOVELY PAIR OF GARDENING SHOES THAT COULD KEEP UP WITH ME ALL DAY AND IN WATER SOAKED ACTIVITIES!! CHEERS AND 10+ STARS!!

Bought these to tackle the new hike trail around Prince Edward Island. Took several pairs of shoes but kept coming back to the Hokas. They made walking feel easy. They were consistently comfortable and I was so grateful to have found out about them before I left. They are my first pair of Hokas but they will not be my last!

First time I've bought HOKAS. They were recommended by my podiatrist. So far I like them as they seem to really support my foot.

These are absolutely the finest shoes I've ever worn! I've been wearing diabetic shoes for the last 15 years with inserts. Being treated by a podiatrist for 20 years! Had surgery for Plantar Fasciitis (heal spurs) and have diabetic neuropathy in both feet, use a cane to ease the pain! Today no cane, very little pain, walking 1-mile a day which is big for me. If you have painful feet gives these shoes a try, you'll be very happy.

Got these shoes for reffing Lacrosse on (mostly) turf fields and the grip is outstanding, though I do wish the cushion was a little... cushionier. They are rugged and give lots of support through the mid-sole which is where I personally need it most.

These run large. I usually take a 9–which I ordered—but these are both wider and longer IMO. Beautiful and I can walk in them so won’t be returning them.

I have a profession where I'm in my feet for 10-15 hours sometimes and I developed plantar fasciitis. It was extremely painful to stand after sitting for a moment. It was even worse standing up and walking first thing in the morning! After a few days of using the Challenger and the recovery shoes, I felt the difference. The pain is less. It's given me the support my feet needed to heal and rest. I love them!

True to my regular SHOE size, but not to other sneakers. I usually wear an 8.5 in shoes and a 9 in sneakers, but the 8.5 was perfect. The most comfortable sneakers ever!
These were recommended by my physio after I ripped up my knee and fractured my tibia. They made me feel so much more stable, even on crutches.

I was having sudden foot pain and heard about Hoka. I bought a beautiful pair of colorful and fun shoes that also took my pain away while walking to crazy rescues who love to pull. with the tread I am not only pain free but have managed to stay on my feet.:)

I ordered these trail running shoes the week before my Costa Rican vacation(poor planning) and only wore them around inside my house for two days before our trip. These shoes were comfortable and were perfect for hiking through the rain forest on steep muddy rocky trails and even were good for hiking up an old lava flow. My feet never felt wet and I'm pretty sure the tread on these shoes kept me from slipping or falling down. The fit is the same as my Bondi 7 shoes.
