Customer Reviews Hoka Stinson 7

Wish they would have worked out. My feet require a wide toe box and I just couldn't wear these. They're a beautiful shoe but not for me. I had to return these.

Too bulky and heavy for my personal comfort. They felt like great quality though. Onto the next model

I really wanted to love these trail shoes. I got the black/putty. They are good looking but don't have enough cushion also I the top of the shoes hurts my feet so bad. I'm going to wear them for a few minutes like to go to the store or to do gardening. It's true to width but for any reason it hurts after an hour of hiking. Thank you.

I buy shoes at least twice a year and these shoes the quality is just horrible. On the side just below your big toe on both shoes, which has not happened to any other shoes that I have purchased through this site, they have created holes through the fabric of where the hard decoration stuff is going across the fabric. I have bought expensive shoes I have bought cheaper shoes, and exactly one month past the return time period, I looked at my shoes and they had holes in the same area on the right and left foot. They're cracked. And I don't wear them every day. I also have MAFATE5 that is amazing. That quality is top notch, but this Stinson is horrible.

Haven't even had them a couple of months and dont where them every day. They are comming apart at an inside seam.

I bought these for a trail race. I was pleasantly surprised that they were so comfortable. I really like the camo pattern. Very stylish! I wear them now for trail walks and regular walks. I am happy i bought them.

These shoes are incredibly comfortable, I could easily wear them all day, multiple days in a row. I bought them for my little desert trail walks, approx. 2 miles daily. Within two weeks there was visible wear on them. The design on the toe cap started to peel and around the ankle, the fabric started shredding. Definitely not worth the price, as like I said they began falling apart 2 weeks into wearing them. I have wide feet so maybe that has something to do with the decals and like the toe box being really wide, like a design flaw? But the shredding around the ankle made absolutely no sense to me, there was never anything rubbing against that and like I said I'm like wearing these for an hour max a day WALKING. Anyway, if you're desperate for comfortable shoes and you have like $200 to waste go for it, otherwise buy something else.

After three years of daily use my previous Stinsons were ready to be replaced. I bought the newer version along with a pair of Gaviotas assuming they would be the same quality. This was not the case. After only 2 months of occasional use, both pairs of shoes began to become warped and after three months the seems had started to unstitch. These were incredibly expensive shoes and for both of them to fall apart after around only 100 hours of use is ridiculous. Hoka was my absolute favorite brand of shoes and I'd recommend them to anyone that would listen, but now I highly doubt I'll ever purchase again.

If you have flat feet, this isn't the shoe for you. It's perfect for small walks or trails, but nothing amazing. They are very big, looks like clown shoes on your feet.

I also want to make note that as I stated in a prior review, the fabric of this shoe does begin to peel away from the toe box abnormally quickly, impairing the waterproofness that they claim for the shoe. I submitted a return and sent my shoes for them to review under their warranty. The shoes were approximately 4 months out from purchase and I had not worn them for a month prior to sending. Hoka declined covering them with their warranty, but the two receipts they sent claimed different things - the receipt from Decker claimed the year long warranty had expired on this shoe (I bought March 20th, 2025, sent the shoe in June of 2025). The second receipt from Hoka had written on it that the warranty does not cover normal wear and tear. This shoe started showing signs of peeling from the outsole three months in with casual walking. Moral of the story, if the design starts peeling from the toe box or the fabric starts peeling away from the outsole, it is not covered by their year long warranty that they are posting about under comments.

I dont know why it's so tight around toe bed and I had ordered a wide width,but they sent regular Not happy about that

No cushion hurts my feet

This was my1st pair of Hoka's. Tried the shoe finder but couldn't find anything for a standing/walking job. I chose these because it was stated that they were great for pavement, thinking must be good for walking. They have bruised the mid arch part of both feet & felt like I was standing barefoot on concrete. It was an excruciating 6 hours at work & could barely walk to my car. I know I can exchange them but what a hassle.

I have returned these because the left sole felt different from the right. I have reordered to try again. These may run wide. I ordered the width available and they were great., even though I normally wear a wide.

I love the Stinsons. I've always worn them but this iteration of them really hurt my feet. I tried many times exchanging them for different colors, sizes etc. But every time, I had a very bad pain in my upper arch. Other than that they are solid and I like the harder feel of the foam. Right now I am wearing bondi 9 and love them but wish they would please make another Stinson.

I wear Hokas for walking and hiking. This is my first pair of non-Speedgoat shoes. They are extremely stiff and hurt my instep. I ended up returning these and getting the Speedgoat 5, because the reviews for Speedgoat 6 are terrible!

I'm a Bondi 8 customer, but bought the Stinson to try it out. Didn't last 8 months, as the inside of the heel, totally shredded apart.

I like Hokas. Especially the graphics. I wish they had a longer toe box on the women's shoes. I also wish they had a shoes weighed less. I get a tea padded heel, but the shoe weight does not provide the performance I would like. They have an incredible grip, I would prefer the grip be less for a walking shoe as moving side to side or pivoting is difficult. Overall Hokas are a well made shoe-but the descriptions need to match the performance in order for consumers to purchase a shoe meeting their expectations and beeds

I was so excited to get these new Stinsons in the mail and I loved how supportive they felt walking on different terrains but unfortunately they have not been as cushiony and comfortable as I had hoped for longer day wear. My knees, hips and feet tend to be sore after wearing these too long.

I bought this shoes but after almost 2 months the suede came off. So I had to return to it

I work in a shoe store part time and are a full time CNA. I bought these hoping they could help me with my plantar fasciitis. I ordered a 9, (I have 5 pair of hokas and that is always the size I take) when I got them they were way too big. I have them to my friend who is a women's 10 and they are big on her. I bought a second pair different color. This time in an 8.5, which seems to fit fine. But since I bought them in February, the design is pealing off and the seams are sperating. Its a shame because I absolutely love the feel and they are great for my long 12 hour hospital shifts. The first pair I bought are fine. My friend is a CNA as well and her shoes are fine. Neither of us wear them outside. Only too and from work.

I have used the Stinson 7 in years past and been very happy with them. However, when ordering online here directly from Hola, I did not see width listings available. Please update the listings online to include the widths in the men's and the women's and the gender neutral styles to assist your customers in finding the correct size more easily. I had to send these back because they arrived as a "B" width, and the ones I had previously been using were a "D" width. But there were no options listed in the order form for the width, so I will now order a different style shoe specifically listed as "wide".
