Customer Reviews Hoka Hopara 2

Way too big, long, wide. So returned.

I ordered a 7 1/2 my usual size in everything and in my Bondii and I got these in a 7 1/2 and they were way too small and wide. Very disappointed I needed them for my hike..

I bought the shoes because I thought they would be cooler based on the open mesh and the open heel. Because I still needed to wear socks, the shoes were not noticeably cooler. Sadly, the foot base of the shoe did not have the padding that my other two pair of Hokas have. I bought gel inserts to remedy the problem but they were only somewhat effective. I did not return the shoes and will still wear them on occasion. I would not recommend them to others. My two other pair of Hokas are awesome.

Okay so I love the color on these but def disappointed in these areas: 1. all my other HOKA shoes are size 9.5 - these are too small in the same size. I am assuming my long skinny foot can stretch the fabric but in these the rubber tip and the way the shoe is designed, it kind of runs smaller. 2. shape of the front - if you are a larger foot size for a woman, all my other HOKA's show how skinny pointy my foot is which is pretty sweet - these have overall very wide look and the chunky shape of the tip just looked so massive on me in my size. Please guys just make the same shaped sneakers in mesh! so much better! 3. I get why the shoe is designed to be durable even with the mesh, but I it felt bulky on and so plasticky - it felt like my foot would sweat a lot in it. Didn't try it on in the heat or anything but I kind of feel like I can tell :(

These were very wide and loose. Not cushioned and the arch was too high for me. Returned.

I have many pairs of HOKA shoes, and most are beyond comfortable for my 'many problemed' feet. I have severe arthritis in my big toe and heel spurs so finding a good shoe is important for my daily walks. These fit as expected, maybe a bit wide as compared to the Clifton 9 (my favorite). The problem is with how they are 'laced' with the NON stretchy bungee type cord. This cord, when your feet swell, cuts into your foot and makes for a long walk home. I've tried them several times and always come back and change my shoe. It's been way too long to return them so they are going in the give away bin. So sad they didn't work out for my feet.

They fit but were very large looking like I could trip over my own feet. Like clown feet , not for me. Returned them

I really wanted to like these but they are just way too big which is very unusual for me. I wear a sz 11(women's) and these are big even with socks and then they make my foot look even larger. Loved the concept and was really hoping to love them but they just don't fit well. I feel like I would slide around in them on a hike.

The size is good but the arch does design is uncomfortable & does fit my feet. I completed a return but unfortunately the house keeping staff at the resort discarded the box. I have returned home to minnesota & wondering if I get still return shoes (not been worn). Can I place them in a packing box without the original box to be returned. I have completed the return online. Tried wearing the Hopara 2 hiking sandal in our room at the resort but they are uncomfortable due to poor fit for me to wear. Can I get a refund or exchange for another model?

Ordered in same size as all my other Hokas, but foot body too big and wide even though length was fine. Disappointedly returned! Design nice to keep debris out, so I hope they become available sized better.

Returned these after receiving them, I have a normal to narrow foot and while the length was right, I was swimming in how wide the shoe was, and no way to adjust. Sure wish Hoka had an option for a narrow sandal. I love the running shoes but the sandals have no narrow option

These sandals didn't fit properly and they looked clunky and unattractive. Returned!

I have always been a fan of Hoka recovery shoes, so I had high hopes for these sandals. They didn't last very long out of the box. They are clownishly large, especially in the toe bed, leaving room for my foot to move which causes two problems - insufficient support and chafing. On the last part, the inside of the shoe is anything but soft on the skin - think more like sandpaper. May be okay if you have a wide foot and wear socks, but why buy a breathable, sandal-like shoe and wear socks?

Shoe was not what I expected. I have another pair which I really like. The pair I just received was nothing like my pair. I looked further into the shoe site and found the pair that I have. The pair I ordered seemed to be a more inexpensive shoe.

I have hiking sandals I use that are heavy so I thought I'd get these since I like their tennis shoes and I like the fact there is mesh over the shoe protecting my feet but I was so disappointed when I got these. I ordered my regular size 9.5 but the shoe is just very loose fitting no matter how tight I tighten the top laces and the thing that Velcros in the back of the ankle will not make it tight either so it's a loose fitting shoe. If you try to tighten the back strap the material will bunch up at the back of the heel. I cannot go down a size either since my toes go to the end of the shoe. I don't see how this can be used for serious walking since it's loose fitting. Honestly it's more of a comfort shoe to wear around the house but it's too expensive for that.

I used it for a walk and did hurt the bottom of my feet

Excited to get the shoes but they were not comfortable. The design on the bottom was abrasive to my foot. Shoes were returned. Still waiting on my refund.

I recently purchased a pair of hopara 2 in shifting sand on your website. The delivery was quick, looks as expected but the left n right shoes were slightly different colours and the v shape at top of shoe weren't symmetrical. Also, the right shoe insole inner part felt slightly more painful vs the left. I've reordered in hopes it was just a bad batch. I have pics for reference.

When I saw these shoes, I loved them. I ordered the 9.5 but my toes were touching the front of the shoe. I returned them and ordered the size 10 because I wanted more toe room. My toes were touching the front in the size 10 but the heel had about an inch of space. The fit was off so I had to return them. I ended buying a totally different sneaker from the Hoka store where I could try them on.

Returned as didn't have the support I needed.

Way too big even though my size. Made for a wider foot. I sent it back.

This is a very cute shoe and I really wanted it for summer. I wear a 9 wide because of bunions, but this shoe doesn't come in wide. Size 9 was very tight on my bunions Size 9.5 was too big. I had to ask for a refund.
