Customer Reviews Hoka Hopara 2

Great product for us wide feet (bunion) girlies. The only complaint I have is that tiny rocks could get in through the back Velcro area, but it was nice to be able to adjust the back so a catch 22 I guess.

Good part , comfortable all day. Bad part , awkward up get on. Would like more openness around toes

These shoes are extremely comfortable and they look great. The only downside is that for a medium width (B) they are very wide. I have adjusted the strap on top but then the shoe looks buckled.

The ordering and return process were simple and seamless, but the product wasn't right for me. 4 stars for great customer service and interface.

The only issue I have is that they are difficult to get on over the heel but otherwise definitely worth buying!

I returned the shoes because I felt the color was not like the picture online and it looked bulky on my foot. I did not get a chance to wear them so I cannot give my opinion on comfort or wear of the shoe.

This shoe in particular i had loved but was very uncomfortable to me on one foot...

I have loved my Hoka sneakers for years. I have just had hip surgery and needed really good and supportive cool summer shoes too. I love my Hoka sandals. They fit perfectly and give me great support. I do wish it was easier to slip into them. More colors would be great too so I could have several pair.

I really like the mesh they allow my feet to breathe and I don't overheat in them I do love my Hopara I as well it's nice to have a choice. I am on my feet 10 hours a day and suffer from arthritis and neuropathy that is sometimes crippling Hoka saves the day . Again.

Women's 7.5 feels a half-size too big. May exchange for size 7. They do feel comfortable other than size and I think they will be a go-to shoe this summer.

Love the look and feel of these over the Hopara, but they are much less supportive. I'm a supinator and hypermobile, with metatarsals that like to sublux, so I need house shoes. I'd hoped these would be it. Sadly, they didn't feel very supportive and the soles were almost thin. If you used these outdoors, you'd feel every rock digging into your feet. Maybe that's a plus when stomping around a riverbed, but probably not anywhere else.

I purchased my normal size 7 1/2 and the size is ok. Next size up, my foot felt like it was swimming in them. After only a short distance, both sandals started to rub right underneath my ankle bones and took off the skin. Unfortunately, I had to keep walking in them and by the time I took them off, they were bloodied. Since they are meant to be worn without socks, there's not much I can do about it other than tapping my ankles in the future. Other than that, they are comfortable and I really want to love them. Well, I can't return them so I might as well make them work somehow.

Ordered by mail. Was expecting them to fit similar to my new Bondi 9's but these were very wide. Unfortunately had to return.

Just learned from looking back at my previous orders that I ordered the size too large and will now see if I can get an exchange.

The, these second generation Hope era hookers do not have the same qualities of the first. The fit is not snug and the material is different. I gave them good try more than once and I love the color but other than that I couldn't find anything positive about them!

I anticipated the Hopara 2 would be at least somewhat cushioned. They really aren't. They also are VERY wide. I was hoping they would be something I could wear without socks, but the width will not allow that. I am disappointed with the purchase, but will figure out a way to use them (Other than my original plan for use).

I really wanted to like this shoe, but I wear orthotics and they did not work.

I feel the arch support is less, and the toe box feels more flimsy in the new version. In addition to the elastic lace in front, there's an adjustable velcro on the back which makes it so much more annoying to put on. I usually put on and take off my hoparas multiple times a day so it adds a big pain

This is my first pair of Hokas and so far I am not impressed. I purchased this style so I could wear them barefoot; however, I dislike the feel of the footbed against bare feet feels like plastic/rubber to me. It makes my feet sweat. I tried wearing them barefoot numerous times and could not get to like it. Having paid for them I want to try to wear them so I wear socks in them. Defeats the point of buying this particular style.

Just rubbed my feet the wrong way even when wearing socks. I really had high hopes for these shoes. It might fit someone else with normal feet i suppose . But I don't see how this show can be worn comfortably for anyone without socks .

I enjoyed the shoe and found it comfortable, but was unable to really test it out because the velcro strap came unstitched when removing the shoe the first time. I return the shoe and am now trying out the women's transport.

I bought these expecting to love them as I have 6 pairs of Hokas (Bondi 8, Arahi 6, Speedgoat 5) and love them... Especially after a calcaneal fracture last December 1, wearing a pair that my Ortho thinks saved me from shattering my leg. #1 issue... I wrote to Hoka abd sadly never heard anything back. Very disappointed. Then I bought these sandals at a small independent shoe store I loved, but before I could really decide if I loved them, he decided to retire and close the store. When I did start to wear them, they are HUGE. I bought my 9.5... my foot swims in these. I could never wear them because after my tripping accident I am very leery of how shoes fit. My foot easily goes back and forth and they make me afraid I will trip and fall again. I might be ok with a thick ped on, but what's the purpose of being able to get them wet if I need a sock??? So they did but go to Aruba, and even tho I kept trying them, I am super disappointed and they are pretty expensive to be stuck with and sitting in my closet. I am sad and furious... I did get my husband a pair too and he's fine with them. I have "introduced" and gotten 6-8 people wearing Hokas. I am a huge fan, but these have left a butter taste in my mouth Btw, how about you update your online quiz to determine the best models, because nothing new is in the mix. I'd love to be contacted...
