Would ha been great if they had it in wide width. There are not many shoes in W, or wa width! Shoe makers have to make more width available! Other than not wide enough for my bunion, they were great. Pretty. Foam comfort. Could not wear a sock with it,

These are solid working shoes not comfy like the trainers but more like Crocs.

Bought a 10 mule and wear a size 10 shoe. My foot floated in it. Fit my son who wears an 11 1/2. Bought a size 9 to replace and the 9 is STILL too big. Shoes fit fine, the Slides a d Miles are terrible - won't buy or recommend them any more.

The top portion of the shoe is stiff and unforgiving. I felt like a piece of cheap, sharp plastic was digging into my little toe and 5th metatarsal. It’s not soft and pliable like other shoes brands with the same style. I don’t have a wide foot and I think the shoe would still be painful even if I ordered a size up.

I wanted to love love these shoes soo bad. I even asked two people and searched to see if I could stretch them some how with my professional wooden shoe stretcher!! I cannot get my foot in all the way due to the top of the clog "dampens/flattens" down and does not raise up. Due to this, it puts pressure on my foot, which is already wide so I cannot get my foot in all the way. These are wider than the orca recovery shoes though and comfortable. I wish the shoe was like the other shoe I bought and love bc it lifts up and my foot fits in it. I think if they fixed the issue it would work for all wide feet. I wear a 5 wide or a 5 double wide. I have bunions on both sides on each foot. I am also a healthcare worker/ RN transplant clinician who walks all over a trauma 1 hospital/campus. It is good to have multiple pairs of shoes to switch out with my Figs clothes/jump sites and the patients love the different shoes. The patients even purchase them after seeing myself wear the Hokas. I'm hoping if the design can change our patients maybe able to purchase them due to increase in swelling in feet. These would be fantastic for them and good for walking post transplant

While the clog was wide and the length ok, the toe box came down too much for me. I have Morton's toe and slight hammertoes so the issue is probably my feet. I was just hoping the wide style would accommodate my foot. I had tried Crocs which were way too wide to walk safely in them.

I bought the Recovery Mule Hoka shoes but returned them as they were too large to wear without thick hiking socks. I frequently order wide or extra wide size 9 but these were just too loose on my feet. Since there is no adjustment they either fit right off or send them back.

I really like the shoe, but the size is small. I normally wear a women's 7 and this shoe feels more like a 6 or 6-1/2.

Not as comfortable or cushiony as your other recovery sandal slip ons. Like the color and received quickly.

First pair of Hokas I've had to return. The size 11 measured closer to 10.5. I Didn't get a chance to fully test them out because of this. Wearing them for a short period, I did notice they are firmer than Crocs. Perhaps this means, then would not fatigue or deform over time?

The newer version of the recovery sandal is looser and not as snug as the earlier model . Too much "play" in newer model

I purchased a size 12 M as that is my normal size. Unfortunately, it's a perfect fit if you wear them without socks but even then it's a little too snug and my feet start coming out of the shoe. Wish I could purchase a 13 M but it's already sold out. Too bad because these mules are petty cool and very comfortable.

The mule is too hard. I have plantar fasciitis and I was hoping the comfort would be as good as the Hoke Recovery Slide.

These shoes are very comfortable and I would love them if it wasn't for the issue of being squeaky when walking. I only wear these at home when I'm alone because the noise is so embarrassing. Even then, the squeak of this shoe is very annoying. I was looking for something to replace my Birkenstock's , which I love but I can no longer wear, and was hoping these would be a good replacement since I love the Hoka tennis shoes. I will not buy them again.

Although the product appeared exactly as pictured, what was not clear in the description was the severe (for me) heel drop in the shoe. I look for a shoe that has some heel lift, 1/2" to 1" foot my lower back. The picture appeared to have a decent amount of lift in the heel, but the minute I put these on I could not walk in them.

These are not "plush" at all. They are very stiff and have a narrow toe box.

I purchased a pair of Ora Recover Mules and I'm disappointed. I went with white because they looked nice and clean, but it is impossible to keep them clean. The insoles attract and highlight dirt like crazy, and. since they won't come completely clean no matter how hard I try, they're gross to look at every time I put them on. Customer Service was unwilling to help me with an exchange because I bought them from Dick's.

Being an avid Hoka recovery slide wearer and wanting the same thing but with covered toes, these are not comfortable at all. The insert is strange, and these are not for me. I returned them for something else.

but i found the top part that went over my foot to be extremely uncomfortable. i am hoping you will make some close toed, cushioned sole and comfortable like the slides but with a much softer top.something more like what ctocs make.i do love my slides but also want a close toed one.

I ordered my normal size 11, but something with this pair was not quite right. Both were tight, with one more so than the other. If ordering a pair I would go a size larger to give your feet some extra space.

I loved everything about this shoe except for the dangerous predicaments it put me in. The shoe itself is very comfortable. However, it comes with a padded insert that is not attached to the shoe itself, therefore making it very slick. I only wore the shoes one day and almost fell multiple times because the insert kept sliding out. I love my HOKA shoes and slides but this pair I do not recommend.
