Customer Reviews Hoka Hopara 2

So far, so good, although I haven't worn them out yet! I plan to when it stops raining. I think a contrast of white somewhere would be a good accent. HOKA shoes are the only ones that fit!

I was concerned I would get blisters the first few times I wore these on the beach, with sand getting inside. But I was very pleasantly surprised that they were very comfy from the start, and no blisters! Love them!

I loved the style. I'm 76 and barely able to walk with serioru foot issues, This was the third pair of HOKAS I have bought and was sorry to have to return as I couldn't get them on due to high instep I guess.

I was looking for a sandal that could withstand wet weather and had a grippy sole. The Hopara 2 is all that with the added bonus of (mostly) keeping trail rocks out as well. It's so comfortable I've also been wearing it around town. A great all around sandal and for me more comfortable than the original Hopara. I wear both 8.5 and 9 in Hokas depending on the style. The 8.5 Hopara 2 fit great.

I love the Cush. Would be 5/5 if the side and back cutouts were lined with mesh. Then the small rocks and dirt came would stay out and there would still be ventilation and quick drainage.

I love the functionality of this shoe, but it is much stiffer with less cushion than I had expected. Decision pending

These shoes are great. I love the color. I love the soul. I love it. They're waterproof and they get support. They're everything I want except the sizing is just bizarre!! 78? 7B??

I am usually an 8.5/39 and the 8 is the "right" size in these and they are super cute and the inter stretchy material is very comfy! But I have a low volume foot so there is a lot of loose fabric on the top of my foot when I cinch them down.

I ordered a 1/2 size larger. I normally wear a 8 1/2 but ordered a 9. I noticed in the last 2 Hokas I ordered they seemed smaller. The desin and style are great for walking/hiking on moderate terrain.

only problem the velcro straps are too long and flop[ around

I think a half size smaller would be better.

Overall comfy and fits my bunions. However the shoe is wide and the laces do not tighten enough.

I'm amazed at how wide these run. Additionally I would suggest ordering 1/2 size smaller. My other Hokas are size 11, so that's what I ordered.

These shoes are comfortable and provide good cushion. They are a bit wider than a regular wide, but my bunions fit well . When I tighten the laces, the tongue buckles and does not lie flat. FitsLovely colors

They're big and bulky but I really like.. will wear w a good sock and be comfy.. bought for a trip to Africa.. safari!! Good neutral color!!

Good

I use the sneakers to run errands, do my knee exercises, for around the house, everywhere. The problem is pulling up and down on the strings to loosen the shoes enough to get them on and off more easily.

I am new to Hoka except for a pair of recovery sandals I wear indoors and I DO love them! They take the place of going barefoot (forbidden by my podiatrist!) and my feet feel better. I resisted getting regular Hoka shoes, also recommended by podiatrist, as I just don't like lacing up all the time and have never worn "tennis shoes" except for on the courts. I liked the idea of a sandal like this Hopara and was pleasantly surprised when I tried them on in the store. I don't do any hiking or off-road walking but these do the job on my regular walks. I'm getting more used to the adjustment of the heel strap, and trying to forget the ease of just slipping into my Skechers in seconds. I will have to keep my big toenail shorter than usual, as there seems to be some rubbing there, and side fit is not as snug as I am used to. But they ARE extremely comfortable while walking and I do not regret the purchase!

I bought two pair of these, one for me and one for my daughter before our trip to Costa Rica. It was between these and Keen water/trail sandals. I decided to try these. Our main purpose for them was to be able to go tubing and hiking in the rainforest without switching shoes. They did not disappoint. They were comfortable even when wet, provided great traction on the rocks, and protected our feet from the rocks when going through the rapids. They fit true to size. The reasons I did not give them five stars: I didn't feel like they dried any faster then regular lightweight shoes and we both got a couple raw spots on our feet when we walked/jogged on the beach. Now to be fair, I think the sand getting into the shoes and being wet is what caused the raw spots; so next time we use them for the beach, we are going to try wearing some water socks with them. I'd buy them again. I think they are great for hiking in damp conditions and they are probably going to be good lake/boat shoes.

I love these shoes. I now have 3 pair and plain on getting somemore
