Customer Reviews Hoka Ora Recovery Slide 3

well, they fit nice, and they look awesome on the Hoka website, and yes they're review averae is like 4 outta 5 stars, which is cool, but slipping them on--nothin prepared me for the ginomous contrast between these and my Hoka Gaviota 5 (I own two pair, and love them, and would go to the ends of the earth to by my third and subsequent pair, the Gaviota 5's are comfy enough to wear 9 hours at work, no problem). the Ora Recovery Slide 3 are OK. Not all day-comfort like the Gaviota 5, in fact, a sharp contrast. My knees hate going up & down stairs in most shoes, including the kinda stiff/firm/etc Ora Recovery Slide 3. (In my 14W Gaviota 5's, I could run up & down stairs all day, until I pass out, no worries, no complaints from knees or other joints on the Gaviota 5s)...but these Ora recovery slide 3, man, they look & feel nice, but no cushion, no "ahhhh" sense when walking or doing stairs. I'll buy more Gaviota 5's from Hoka, no sweat. But hey--yours results may be toooootally different than mine, so if a firmer footing is OK and your knees don't yell at you on stairs (like mine), try the Ora recovery slide 3. Hoka knows their stuff =)

I've been a loyal Ora Recovery Slide user, relying on the Ora 1s to manage daily plantar fasciitis pain. When I grabbed a pair of Ora Primos, the difference was obviousmy Ora 1s had completely bottomed out. Excited for the Ora 3s, I expected that same plush comfort, but they turned out stiff and rigid, nothing like the cloud-like cushioning I trusted. I get that some may prefer a firmer feel, but I need immediate comfort, not a break-in period. The biggest frustration? Inconsistent models with no clear heads-up on changes. Without better transparency, it's hard to know what to buy next.

I get innovation and I get design features to entice an entirely new customer base, but what many companies don't realize or won't realize is that leaving it just as is with some additional color options may be all you need for the next version of the shoe. I have 3 pairs of the previous version and love them! They saved my feet. I want to buy more, but cannot find them in my size! I got some of my family members hooked on them too. Everyone loves them. However, Ora 3 slides are nowhere close. The high/large lip in the back to help keep it in place and the overall design all miss the mark!! Bring back the old version. This one is just not working at all!

I even sized up to accommodate wide foot/bunion- still rubbed up on bunion, still too narrow - not therapeutic at all ( as billed)

they were rated w12.5 i think i rec men's but they were marked10.5 m on back and way tooo big

the sizing from your sneakers to slides are quite strange. I wear 14s in Bondi 8s, 14s in slides could fit Big Foot, tried another pair, now size 11 on chat staff recommendation. Heel kept catching the large lip on the back of the heel. Love my Bondi 8s - on my third pair, and will continue to buy.

I have tried the new slides and they didn't work for me at all, my feet and ankles were swelling. I have worn the original ones for years and loved them I wish I could still buy them,Hoka should give that option. If you decide to sell the original ones again please let me know.

I was disappointed the sandals I had bought over two years ago evidently discontinued. I therefore had to purchase the slide ones. Unfortunately there were too tight. I am grateful for your return policy.

I loved them a lot for a long time until I started getting really bad toe pain. After the podiatrist visit and I was diagnosed with bunions on both feet. I was told to stop wearing HOKA slides. Originally I bought them for plantar fasciitis and bone slurs, came back with a whole different issue for the future now. Surgery for bunions is really bad and complicated. I never had toe pain until I bought these slides earlier this year. Severally regret it. Stay away. Go with a different brand that focuses on legitimate recovery.

The sole is hard not cushioned. It's too short and too wide for my foot. Seems like mens sizes.

This is tthe same size new one was clumsy and ridiculously larger compared to the old ones which were way better than this new design! Disappointing lost my business on these slides which i bought often.

The most uncomfortable slide I ever owned. They hurt my feet. No coushining, hard as a brick.

Feels too big.

I've worn all three versions of the recovery slide and feel their newer versions keep getting worse. The heel cup is super uncomfortable to me. Also the older versions had ridges that your feet sat on top of, that was a really nice feature. This version is smooth and has no breathability because your foot basically suctions to it, if you're barefoot and if your feet were to sweat, it's just asking for a fungal infection. I really liked the older versions, so much so that I had multiple colors and wore them everywhere to the point I really needed new ones but these ones are 100% times worse as far as comfort goes. PLEASE BRING THE OLDER VERSION BACK!!!!

I purchased two pairs of these in February one for my husband and myself. The shoe has stretched out of shape and the rubber heel is completely worn out!! These shoes were only worn inside and I will never purchase this style again. I have tripped several times in these shoes almost twisting my ankle and knee which is like wearing clown shoes now. This shoe is a total waste of money as they WILL NOT last so don't waste your money on this purchase. I wish I could get a refund on both. Hoka you must do better with this recovery slide!!!

I sent the size six back because there is no way they were a size six. I thought maybe a size five would work but still not happy. To lose and bulky but not as bad as the six. Couldn't send them back because of hurricane.

Bring back the original style. I purchased at least 15 pairs of the original style. Will not buy these again.

My slide has a hard spot in the inside of the right shoe that cause me pain to my right toe causing redness and soreness.

The old design was awesome, wore it for years , this new design is not good at all . Uncomfortable.

I wore these in the Summer to the beach. They SHRUNK within weeks, due to exposure to the sun. HOKA neglected to inform that these summer sandals are meant to be worn indoors! When I called to ask for a return 2 months after my purchase they declined, basically blaming ME for ruining them by wearing them in the sun. Nice form, HOKA! Bad product compounded by bad customer service = yuck!
