Customer Reviews Hoka Stinson 7

I wear these everyday for stability. The inside of the shoe is great. However, I've had them a little over a month and they are already cracking around the edges and detaching from the shoe. These shoes clearly will not last long, and for the price, I feel like they should hold up a bit longer. I am very disappointed, as my last Hokas did not do this.

I have only worn Hoka for the last 8 years. This pair I have only worn 3 times and it is starting to come apart where rubber meets the fabric on the side. As much as they cost would think that there wouldnt be this issue.

Third pair of Hoka's and this is he first disappointment.

I love HOKA. I order 6 pair per year. HOKA powered hikes last year totaling almost 300,000' in elevation gain. I also shoot videos for our Instagram and TikTok pages with over 1MM followers @CalmParentingPodcast powered by my HOKAs. I am doing wintry hiking in the Alps now with my HOKAs, but the two pair I ordered didn't ship on time to make the trip. Very disappointed.

I love the look of the shoe. However, the shoe was not offered in a EE size. Once it arrived it was way too narrow for my feet. I had not option but to return it.

My 2 month old Stinson are already frayed around the top edge. Tried to add photo but guess not allowed. Also don't do well in the desert, cactus thorns go right through the sole into your foot!

Purchased Stinson 7 from Hoka retail store on December 7, 2024. Within three weeks of wear, the seam between the toe box and shoe sole began to crack with eventual seam opening. After sending purchase date documentation and shoes back to Hoka (1 year manufacturing warranty), I received a warranty denial stating they could not accept return as "the brand warranty period on this product has expired." This is unfortunate. My first pair of Hoka shoes had a manufacturing defect, and Deckers Brands would not stand by their warranty clause....even with proof of purchase provided. I really wanted to like Hoka shoes. But how can I trust their quality and warranty performance after this experience?

i have bought 5 previous pairs and was satisfied. However this pair id diffrent and hurts my feet.

First, I am 6'4" and 180 lbs. I wear a size 13, wide shoe. I ordered the same size and width I typically wear in my main zero drop running shoe (Altra). However this shoe immediately felt too tight on my right foot. The issue is the toe box is tight compared to the Altra toe box. This caused pressures on my big toe and second toe next to it. I have gone ahead and continued to wear them on shorter walks or runs. Two weeks in (5 run-walks for about 17 miles) and I have a toe nail that is dying and will fall off at some point. I ordered these after reading through several reviews and feedback. However , I don't think your shoes are made for my feet and I'll be going back to what doesn't cause injuries and is reliable.

I started with Clifton 9 shoes last year and decided to buy another pair for work. I researched and looked at reviews to settle on the Stinson 7's. I wore them for one day at a new job and my heels and feet really hurt. It's almost like you've been wearing an old pair of shoes with no soul (insole but pun intended) all day. I tried them for a few more days and ended up going back to my Cliftons. I've since started to exchange the Stinson's for Clifton's now. The Stinson's are good quality but the insole is just like walking on concrete. Not good for my feet. 2 stars for quality, style and the brand but these shoes are probably best as "display only" shoes.

I tried these on in the store and they felt really good, so I purchased a pair, the first day of wearing them my feet hurt so bad I couldn't wear them again so I sent them back.

I bought the Stinson 7 to replace the old Stinson 6. The 7 didn't seem to be cushioned as well so I switched back to the old 6's and they are better. When I first bought the Stinson a decade ago it was the cushion that hooked me. I don't need the off road tread and would be happy to try a different shoe but if Stinson is plush then I am not optimistic.

I had the same experience as a lot of the other reviews. This show was one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I have ever worn. And it also fell apart faster than any other shoes I've worn. The upper materail coming seperated from the sole and the inside heal liner completely worn out with the foam coming out. Very dissapointing because I love the feel of these shoes and would love for them to be a go to but not when they start deterirating within a month.

The sole of this shoe is so stiff that ,combined with the shallow heel, I'm moving around in the back of the shoe while climbing. I don't like the shoes. They are soulless, but the did come with soles.

stiff and low toe box volume

These are my first pair from hoka, based on plush and stability mentioned hoka site bought these and it's been almost a month now . I use these weekly twice or thrice for 4 -5 hours see no problem with right leg but my left leg pinky finger hurts .. Initially thought this because of new shoes need more time but see no change , seems either construction or items which send to me has issue

This is a second review after an initial 5 star review for how super comfortable they are and the perfect fit. HOWEVER..... After only a few weeks of wearing them the front materials started to peel away from the inside part of the upper shoe side. Will post pics if allowed. Definitely a huge design flaw and I know that I cannot be the only one to notice this within the first few weeks of wearing them. I am returning them for a full refund which was very painless and switching over to try the Speedgoat 5 GTX in Fiesta/Thyme Color scheme. I really hope that there's no separation between the upper shoe and the sole on these. Crossing my fingures because these are definitely the most comfortable shoes I have worn in a very long time. Just extremely disappointed in the build quality.

Too wide

Uncomfortable clumsy overpriced

I have ran about 80-100 miles in these and the upper fabric is separating from the rubber sole in 2 places at the forefoot. Is this normal ? These are expensive shoes and I'm surprised they're already failing ? Can someone from customer service contact me to fix this and send me a new set

I have been trail running in Hokas for years. Purchased my new 7 in a HOKA Store. First run with the new Stinson 7 yesterday was very disappointing. Much less stable running on Rocky dessert trails. Could feel the rocks and nearly twisted my ankle several times. Comparing my atr 6 to the 7 they reduced the width by a lot and cut down the cushioning which makes the reduced performance more than noticeable. Would not recommend. Find the old atr 6 and stock up.
