Customer Reviews Hoka Ora Recovery Mule

These mules are incredibly comfortable, I wish I could find the soles and put them in every shoe that I own. I do have to say that these shoes run rather small, my feet barely fit and I feel like I'm stepping on the back ridge of the shoe, most of the time. Also, I would not recommend wearing these shoes sockless, which is unfortunate. They make my feet sweat and aren't quite breathable, maybe it's because they run small and fit too tight.

I like the closed toe design, but the sole feels a little stiff compared to my One Ones. Those fit fine in 11, but I had to go down to a 10 in the Ora Recovery Mules. Too bad there are no half sizes.

They were a bit floppy but I put a standard flat foam shoe insert under the the Hoka insoles - then I had a perfect fit. Very comfortable, but I have to be careful of my balance walking around. I have drop-foot and the Ora sole is a bit squishy if I step on something irregular (like a carpet edge). The Ora is wonderful in that my poor old toe nails are now protected from the evil lower freezer pullout drawer.

Lovely to walk in, less of an arch than the standard Ora (as indicated by the Neutral category). Material feels good and quality, seems durable after a week. This clog has great potential. Very clear and present cons: - It is rather toasty as others have noted. On one hand, it's nice to walk in dewy grass and not have it get to my toes easily (like a standard Croc), but the lack of ventilation is noticeable. - Really needs some sort of heel strap or other construction method to keep it on fully (or maybe my feet are just that weird). Barefoot is *mostly fine and stays on, but my intention was to have these with socks, and it is VERY difficult to keep them fully on. For whatever reason, they slide forward and my heels goes off the back. I suppose they're not meant for socks, and I'm considering upping a size, but I'm not convinced it will work. - Least important, but I expected it to me "squishier" than it is. Maybe that actually takes away from the "Recovery" aspect, which I could see. But I just expected the Plush category to be more, well plush. Great product in general, almost a magnificent product!

I like the arch support in the HOKA slip ons better than these Mules.

great for kicking around the house

Still breaking them in but they are comfortable. I am hoping that they will stay on my feet better and longer than the flips do. My only suggestion would be to size them a little more precisely.

I would recommend these shoes if you walk around at your job but if you stand a lot like I do, they're not the best. I know the brand n lots of coworkers wear it but these were new n I like that they're breathable n wide in the toe but they don't have enough cushion for extended standing. They run small as well which was indicated before purchase. So, overall I give them 4 out of 5

The styling on these is terrific. I'm yet to find an outfit the white ones I got don't go with. Only two problems. One, the removable innersole doesn't work well on the beach bc sand gets stuck between removable innersole and shoe (but can be cleaned off after a beach outing). Two, they're squeaky when I walk around in a quiet room. They are comfortable though, I walked 5 to 6 miles in them yesterday (no socks) and only got a very slight blister by the end of the day. Keeping them bc the styling is great and comfortable

So far I had them for a total of three days the first day I kept them on all day kind of made my feet tired. The second day was very comfortable. I like to wear them with socks make it more comfortable. I haven't tried just walking in them for a long time, I have problems with my feet so this shoe make them feel like I am walking on a cloud and there is no pain in my feet. I think I found something I'm gonna love. I will be buying another pair.

Unfortunately, the size 12 of this style is too small for my feet! (I have 3 other pairs - Bondi - that the 12 was a true size....) Unfortunately - again - you are currently out of stock of size 13!!! Ellie was very helpful in setting me up with label, etc. to return the "small" size, and said she/HOKA will advise me when you have size 13 back in stock, so that I can re-order.

I am disappointed that these sandals are not as cushy as my other Ora recovery slides snd flip flops. However I decided to keep them and give them a try as ai liked the covered toes. I'm getting used to them but PLEASE add more Cush!

I love them. My feet do not get tired or hurt. I do wish they would have put the hoka emblem somewhere vision the shoe, tired of being mistaken for crocs.

As hoping these slides would help in my Achilles tendon rehab but the heel sits too low and the arch is too pronounced, the overall effect is too much strain/stretch on the area I am trying to protect. But they are sturdy and nice quality, will probably like them when I am healed up.

The arch support is great. The plastic is so hard in the beginning, until it's broken in. I have a sore with a scab in the area of the big toe. I also wear socks because I don't like the plastic feel.

The insole that came with the shoe was too thick, such that it made the shoe too tight. I removed the insole and put a regular insole in it, not the best solution but at least I can now wear them.

Purchased size 12 Ora recovery Mule. Although comfortable for my flat feet, they do run a bit narrow. Also, they are way too noisy when walking. Rubber insoles keep rubbing and making loud squeaky noises. Very annoying.

The tie box is a very tight fit, don't know how much I can wear them for that reason. Toes are very cramped

Was looking for a recovery shoe that was more supportive than a Croc. This shoe has amazing arch support and comfort: but for the price needs a few improvements: First is better ventilation, so more holes in the rubber, especially on the lower sides where the footbed meets the upper (like how Crocs have, it feels airy and amazing keeping feet cool and dry). I found my feet getting sweaty in these without wearing socks, which defeats the purpose of a fast slip on recovery shoe or house shoe if you have to put socks on. Second is a back strap for option to keep shoe on foot. If you are walking faster or doing activities around the house, the shoe can come off. Third: half sizes for a more perfect fit. I found the 8s slightly loose/large and I imagine the 7s would be too small. With these additions, this shoe could serve many purposes outside recovering at home, and I can imagine wearing them to work standing and walking all day on your feet if they have the adjustments mentioned above.

I agree with the reviews that the toe box is shallow. I wear compression socks, and my toes felt "squashed" in the mule.
