Customer Reviews Hoka Ora Recovery Slide 3

I wanted to like these so bad. I was trying to replace my Ora Recovery Slide 2, but these are just too different. They are heavier, stiffer, bigger, and not enough cushioning. They are also just in Unisex sizing, which simply does not work for ladies.

Around the house

I bought these hoping they would work for recovery after a long day in regular shoes. They are huge on my feet. They look like clown shoes. Unfortunately I cannot return them. I guess they will go to goodwill.

Never thought I'd spend sixty bucks on a plastic sandal until I tried the previous version of these slides. That one was SO good! Supportive and cushioned after a long day of thru-hiking, and light enough (for me) to carry on trail. They helped so much with posture and were so perfect I'd forget I was wearing them. When I lost them on a roadtrip, I was devastated. Went to go purchase a replacement pair and sadly the previous version is no longer available. Gave these Ora 3s a shot and am super disappointed; not at all up to par. The straps are rigid and chafe, the sole is stiff and doesn't move well, and in general they're HEAVY (from a thru-hiking perspective.) Extremely sad these once-awesome shoes took such a turn. Will not be purchasing this version again. RIP original slides

I love Hoka. I have bought several pairs. This time, my Ora Recovery Slides were a fail. They were comfortable and supportive. Butthe upper part of the right slide was very loose and my foot kept slipping dangerously in it. How do you not notice that? The left side fit perfectly. I know things happen. However, for the price, I expect better quality control. When I went online to exchange them, there were no options. They were out of what I ordered and every other color I liked. That didn't make this experience better. Just disappointing.

Purchase these along with a pair of sneakers. I'm a solid size 8 in all my shoes. These were abnormally large. I had to return them.

These were the third pair I have purchased. First two were great. However on this pair the vamp was too high which caused my foot to slide back and forth. Recommend buying at store vice online.

I needed a new pair to wear with socks during the winter -or so I thought - and since there is a sale on the 'weird colors' - now was the time. I went up a size (W10 to W11) to accommodate the socks, but I should have stuck with the W10; These feel very different from the original ORA slides: less arch support and stiffer material on top. The raised heel edge does keep my foot from sliding out, but that is about the only good thing I can think of. I guess these will be going back!

Did not fit my wife's foot well. Toe area.

I did not like these slides at all and returned them. The material is too rigid for me, not cushiony and comfortable. I especially didn't like the heel cups compared to a flat surface and would be concerned my heels would land on the rims of the heel cups when walking instead of inside them.

My most recent purchase was for Ora Recovery Slide 3 - in blue M4/W6. Previous purchase was for same model, but in beige. The previous purchase fit perfectly. The most recent purchase didn't fit at all (too short), even though size markings the same, so I had to return it. So be aware that it seems like same models/same size may not fit the same :(!!

The plastic rubbed my skin off

Takeaway: the footbed of the ORA Recovery SLIDE 3, is NOT like the footbed of the ORA Recovery FLIP. (I'm only giving it 2 stars because it's still a quality shoe.) - - - - - - - I have flat feet, and the overpronation of my Right foot is EXTREME. I struggle to find any type of shoe that doesn't lead to knee pain, hip pain, and back pain. The Women's ORA Recovery Flip (flip-flop) has been a GODSEND! So, I thought I'd get the Women's ORA Recovery Slide 3 to wear with socks as like a houseshoe for the winter. To say I'm disappointed, is an understatement. Obviously, I knew the toe end of the shoe would be a "slide" instead of a "thong", but the footbed of the shoe is not designed like the Women's ORA Recovery Flip. Even though neither of the Recovery sandals come in Wide Width, the Flip is definitely runs wider than the Slide. *Those of us with Flat Feet must wear "Wide Width" shoes. The Women's ORA Recovery Slide 3 does NOT run wide (which I know was an assumption on my part, since the Flip did run wide). Since the footbed of the Slide is not designed like the footbed of the Flip, and has a really weird, overly-cupped edge around the heal area.... the overpronation of my Right foot causes my heal to actually land OVER the cupped edge of the heal. :( What does that mean?... As I'm standing/walking, my Right heal is hanging OFF the right edge of my shoe. I really wish I had returned the shoes, but I also knew I needed to try them out for a few days. Big mistake! I should have returned them. Lesson learned. Now I'm stuck with them. :(

Tried to get the correct sizing 3xno luck! First 2 attempts-both too big 3rd attempt-too short

When they are supposed to be true to size and they are supposed to to fit & you have to ship them back, definitely not true to size more like extra wide

I wear a Size 15D shoe. I bought the Ladies/Men's Size16/14 thinking it might be alright. Nope! It was too long and waay too wide and high and my foot just sloshed around in it. So I traded it for a Men's Size 13. It's just a little too short in the toe but it's still waay to wide so I'm returning it too. So much for trying to buy this item!! Unfortunate.

I bought these based on recommendations of other reviewers. When I tried them I was disappointed by how stiff they were. They felt firm like the original crocs. I returned these to look for softer slides. I'm sure everyone's feet are different but these are not for me.
