They're just too narrow. I have no problem with most wide width shoes but these get very uncomfortable after a couple of hours of wear. I'm wearing them every now and then to see if they stretch out a little more but so far they're just not comfortable for all-day wear.

I got this product so I could work and Hola came highly reccomended by the local podiatrist at the hospital in town. All things considered I soent the coin was super excited and then exceedingly disappointed to say the least when this brand actually not only didnt help my lower back pain but also caused it to worsen and increased the pain I had already been experiencing from si joint issues. Needless to say I returned them the same week they arrived for a full refund.

I've been wearing Hokas for about 10 years. I always love how how much cushioning they have. These are not and after only 3 months the soles wore completely off.

I was hoping these shoes were worth the hype but the quality quickly wears and isn't worth the price.

I have always been so happy with Zappos and that has not changed, even though I did return this pair of Hokas - it was simply a style that didn't appeal to me. However, Zappos makes returns so very easy and I'm very grateful for that and will absolutely visit the site again to buy my next pair of walking shoes.

The shoes were purchased to help with my back on a postal job. However, wearing them just 2 weeks I ended up at urgent care with shin splints.

The shoe was a great color but I'm used to wearing the Arahi 7 which I absolutely love.!! I have narrow thin feet and they really fit my foot. This new Arahi 8 is really wide in the toe area and they look huge on my feet.

I have been a big fan on the Hoka Bondi shoes and have owned several pairs. Unfortunately, my left foot has started to supinate and the Bondis do not have enough support. I was hopeful that the Gaviota would be the answer with the new H frame support and supposedly Bondi like cushioning. While the Gaviota are more supportive, the cushioning is lacking. I can feel the H frame when I walk and after a while it starts to hurt my feet. I returned the Gaviota and will continue to search for a supportive shoe with Bondi level cushioning.

I wanted to love these shoes. The colors are beautiful, but the fit just wasn't there. First, the toe box was just way too wide. Second, and most importantly, I didn't think they were soft and comfy at all. I had heard so many great things about the Hoka brand and this was my first attempt stepping out of my Nike comfort zone, but these were not cushiony at all. I will be returning.

It's odd that your heel sits so low in these sneakers. I have a high instep and this fit does not suit me at all despite the great reviews.

I currently have a different Hoka model which provided much better arch and heel support then this model. I am returning this model and will order a new pair of the model that I currently have.

I was disappointed with the way they look so wide. They do feel wonderful when you put them on. Just can't get past the appearance of being wide with a regular foot.
