Customer Reviews Hoka Ora Recovery Slide 3

Unfortunately the Ora Recovery Slide 3 quality is not as good as the second version. 1. The material used is not closed cell. It traps dirt and sweat over time causing odor that doesn't get better with cleaning. I'm finding now I have to wash my feet in the sink every time I want to put my tennis shoes on. My feel smell when I wear these sandles. For instance, I take a bath at night, wear these sandles once dried up, go to bed, wake up, put these on to walk around the house to get ready for work. Then I have to wash my feet in the sink before putting on my sock and tennis shoes. The Ora Recovery slide 2 didn't have this problem. 2. I've had these less than 6 months and they are already stretched out. The arch support has sunken and my feet hurt because of this. I had the Ora Recovery Slide 2 for over 2 years and kept washing and wearing those even though they were a little beat up. The foot bed and arch support never sunk in the Ora Recovery Slide 2. Can to Hoka for foot support. Not a good product if the arch sinks less than 6 months. Material also traps odor.

I bought a pair of Hoka recovery slides several years ago I could not love them more. They are size 8 IN WOMENS. NEW ONES size 8 SUPPOSED to be for women were GIGANTIC too wide to long no where near as comfortable...I HAD TO SEND THEM BACK

I can't return them and I can't wear them so I'm stuck with shoes I can't wear

I returned them. Where's my refund!

Why did you change these? The material is harder, the deep ridge on the heel is horrible. I won't buy again until they are changed back to the way they used to be.

My feet are slightly wide, I rarely ever have to order anything in a wide. I am size 11-11.5. So, I ordered these in a 12. they were so tight it was pretty wild. I setup an exchange and get them in a size 13. So, at this point I am going 1 and a half sizes higher. I get them and they fit like a size 15 (way to big).

Every pair of Hoka's I've ever purchased have been a perfect fit in a size 13. These arrived , I tossed the box supposing they'd fit, packed them for my trip to Miami. They would be my recovery shoes! However they didn't fit the are really over- sized and I ended having to wear them anyway. It wasn't what I was expecting and now. I'm stuck with shoes that do t fit because I had to wear them. Not my usual experience with Hoka.

I will be honest they hurt my toe area very badly not wide enough!!!

I love my old HOKA slides. I live in them. I was so disappointed when I received this new pair. They are harder, and the ridge on the heel cup is absolutely the worst. I bought a Recovery Slide 3 and an Ora Athletic Slide. The Ora is narrower, but the rock hard ridge on the heel cup is horrible on this model as well. They are being returned. I am really bummed. I thought HOKA would always be there for me.

I have the recovery slides. I guess they're the originals but they're amazing. I have three pairs. I was excited to try the new ones cuz I heard they were even better but not for me man. First of all they're huge like ridiculously huge. They're way too big. I couldn't even believe it. So back they went. I did, however, here that the recovery flips and also the regular athletic slides have the original recovery slide DNA. So I'm not thrilled about wearing a shoe that says Hoka and giant letters across the front. But I did order the flip. I'm waiting for them currently. They should be here tomorrow. I'm excited about those. I love Hoka think a fantastic company but you really kind of. I don't know at least still off for the older ones I don't really like the new ones man... I know I'm not alone

Sizes are way off

These slides are too wide. If I wear heavy socks they kinda fit better but then they rub on my little toe. I very disappointed. Love the color!

I have plantar fasciitis and arthritis in my feet. The original ora slides I have are amazing! These are NOT the same in quality and fit. The material is much harder and the structure now has this curve that cups the back of the heel. Needless to say, I'm disappointed because the original slides really help with recovery when I have pain flare ups and have to work on my feet. Not sure why HOKA has changed the quality, structure, and comfort of this style but it is strong NO and a bit of a disappointment.

One slide is bigger than the other

Terrible description of item color. They are light pink, not a pearl color. This is my second pair of these recovery slides, but if I had realized that "Cosmic pearl" was actually pink, I wouldn't have bought them

The previous generation to this CHANGED MY LIFE. I used to have back, hip, and knee pain. I decided to give the second generation slides a try and they were like magic slippers. Pain? Gone. I got everyone in my life a pair because that's how impressed with them I was. Fast forward to now when I needed to replace them and I try these abominations. Not as squishy, the heel lip is uncomfortable and never fits just right, and the toe box isn't as roomy. Why ruin a great thing? Bring back the previous generation fit!!!! Please!! PS I wear these as house shoes.

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.
