I've been a fan of the Stinson shoes for years, but I was disappointed to find that the latest model has a smaller toe box. This change made them uncomfortable for me, and I had to return them. I loved the previous design because it offered ample room in the toe area, which perfectly fit my feet. I hope you consider reverting to the older design or offering different options to accommodate various foot shapes. In the meantime, I'll have to go to Fleet Feet to try something else.

Got the Stardust Alabaster and find it aesthetically very pleasing. Really like this two color work of art. The fit is right on. Plenty of toe wiggle room. Doesn’t feel all that super cushy which is a good thing to me; not a fan of the Bondi cush. So far I’m in love. Just the best looking sneakers ever. Time will tell on quality.

I love these shoes. I am a pharmacist and stand for up to 12 hours a day on a concrete-based surface. I have searched for 30 years for the "right" shoe. I have finally found it with my Hokas! In just a few months, I bought my second pair. First shoe I've ever had that doesn't have to be "worn in". Perfect comfort with 1st step.

This is again, probably the 10th pair of these shoes I've purchased. At my senior age, and with pronated feet, I where them all the time. I am SO glad HOKA has finally made the Stinson in black. Got tired of the flashy colors.

I have been purchasing Hokas for about 3 years. I have tried different styles and they keep getting better. These Stinsons have been better than expected. Improved my balance(which was not the best) also feel great all day walking on concrete.

I love these shoes, so comfortable and perfect size my usual 81/2. Taking a walk daily these are a pleasure to wear. One foot I have plantar fasciitis and my heel feels fine when I wear these shoes. I was just thinking about ordering a second pair.

Love the look & most importantly the fit!!! I have so many foot problems; neuroma, plantar fasciitis & old ankle sports injuries. I have to be super careful purchasing a shoe. And not to mention my age(59) !!! These are wonderful to walk in (at least 3 miles a day ) & do the things we have to do daily. Very pleased!!!

Stinson 7's are wonderful shoes, so supportive and yet cushiony! These and the Gaviota style are now my go-to's; both are rated as "Plush" and "Stable" on the Hoka website. The Stinson's have a more grippy tread so will be better for light hiking than Gaviota. Both are divine for walking and standing. I wear a 7 in Gaviota but needed 6.5 in Stinson. My wider foot fits well in the toe box of both with regular width sizing.

Had to return my last pair of Hola's because it seemed the style had changed and the toe box had become narrower. Not with these. Fit is great and not tight on the toes. I'm ordering a second pair!

I work 12 hour shift on hard metal floors, I have been wearing Gaviota shoes for the cushion and stability. I thought they were the best shoes until I tried the Stinson 7. WOW!!! What a surprise, the cushion is amazing, they are also very stable for my pronation issues. I only wish they came in Wide option. I will definitely keep buying this shoes and I highly recommend them if you suffer from nerve pain, Morton's Neuroma and Neuropathy.

I have been wearing the Bondi for a couple of years, but the Bondi 8 did not work as well for me. I initially looked at this shoe because of the colors, but it is an amazingly comfortable shoe. The heel back comes up higher than the Bondi, but it hugs my heel much better. I am a teacher and walk a lot of steps each day in the classroom. The Stinson 7 was comfortable right out of the box. I also got lots of compliments on the style/color. I have flat feet and always replace the insoles with my orthotics. It was easy to remove the insole and replace it .

Theses shoes are exactly what I was looking for. Another website suggested getting a half size bigger since these are not offered in wide sizes and that was a great idea! Would recommend that this website make that same recommendation if a wide fit is not offered

Ordered exactly the same pair been wearing for over a year. The new ones are very tight around my ankle so that I am aware of it as it hurts. I am not tying shoe too tight either. Just wearing two times and in the house. Not sure what to do Have been wearing Hokas since 2019.

I have purchased seven pairs of Hoka Stinson7 in the last 3 years. On June 6 I received a black pair and started wearing it daily. Within two weeks the decorative rubber toe protection started pulling away from the fabric where the shoe bends with each strike. Over 2 1/2 inches have become loose on both sides of both shoes. This is excessive damage and should not be happening. I have pictures of the damage.

I've only bought Gaviota, but decided to try Stinson because I'm a trail runner. The toe box is wide, but strangely feels a half size too short and my 4th and 5th pinky toe are pinched. It's a strange fit. These are not as cushioned as my Gaviotas. I'm undecided about keeping these.

I weren't impressed with this shoe have had it a week and it's already coming apart. Hopefully it was a glitch with the glue. Sending them back to get another pair

I am a loyal HOKA customer. I give 5 stars and more to the Stinson model that I absolutely love for my Nature Trail Hikes -- but this upgrade from previous or hopefully just bad batch -- I give 0 stars for. I have a pair of Stinsons 3 years old that I hiked Rim to Rim in the Grand Canyon with. They are a bit worn on the tread, but still in otherwise great condition. This pair of Stinson's - I actually bought two, a size 10 for the gym, a size 10.5 for the trail ---- BOTH are coming apart at the seam of each side of the shoe at the front of the shoe. I returned one pair when it happened, but the replacement shoe is doing the same thing. Both of these are coming apart at the seam where the top meets the sole of the shoe and both are less than a year old - bought in July of 2024. I love the Stinson's for trail running/hiking. These are my favorites outside of the BONDI for walking. I hope you can make this right, as the quality should live up to the price. I am hoping this is just a freak occurrence, as like I said, my 3 year old Stinson's from the Grand Canyon and back and hundreds of miles in between, are still in great shape. I am so disappointed in these current Stinson's............

I've worn Stinson's for years and had read reviews about how I might not need my orthotic in this iteration of the Hoka Stinson, which was good news, since I couldn't fit my foot and the orthotic in this show. Unfortunately, I wore them to NYC, where I walked upwards of 12 miles a day. When I got home, my feet hurt. I put in the orthotics, which fit inside after wearing them for a while, and there was no relief. Overall, I'm super disappointed about how they feel and perform. Also, while the new sole is more resilient (not wearing down as quickly as with the Stinson 6), the rest of the shoe has already worn down, in one month!

Please let ME know, because I've been a Hoka Stinson wearer for at least a decade.

So disappointed . I really wanted this shoes. I envisioned myself running on three trail over pebbles, rocks and tree roots. But these shoes are hard as a rock! So uncomfortable it's incredible. I tried them around the house and I kept feeling pain on the bottom of my foot and all around it. Walking on them is worse than walking barefoot on hard cement. I switched the paper thin insoles for the insoles of my Sketchers Go Run and for equate air foam insoles which helped a little but not enough as the rest of the foot kept hurting. I should have paid more attention to reviews giving this shoe only two stars for that same reason. I wonder if I should try a different pair. I still need a pair of trail running shoes and a second pair for Zumba.

My second time wearing these on the trail, the fabric tore away from the sole. I used some shoe goo to repair them. A couple of weeks later during my 50k race, more fabric started peeling away. I don't think I will be able to run in these again. I only had these for about a month. The Stinson 6, I never had an issue with those.

These were amazing at first... but when I actually hit the trail / dirt road with them, inside and back ankle / Achilles tendon area sort of point in almost and really hurt. I am not sure why they are designed this way but I really hope that this part breaks in some how? Not sure how it will since you aren't really pushing on those spots. I loosened the shoestrings at the top to help... it did a little but not sure if ankles that loose is best practice lol
