Customer Reviews Hoka Hopara 2

Have to return. I usually wear an 8.5 but my toes hit the hard front. Would have been ok in a 9.5.

I wore out my Hopara's so got the Hopara 2. They are comfy and easy to wear for walking etc. BUT, if you're walking in water or a dirt/forest trail, these sandals trap every pebble, stick and pine needle around. Because of the "cover" on the toe box, those little foot irritants can't escape. It's painful and annoying. Disappointed but I still wear them.

I had to return the shoes for a smaller size. Still waiting on the smaller size shoes.

It was loose, so you should size down a little bit.

Shoes run large, feet feel loose and not protected from blisters if I were to wear them hiking. With socks more secure. They kind of feel like plastic which I would never wear. Disappointed.

I was very disappointed that the shoe did not fit. The length was fine, but shoe was too wide to provide foot stability.

There are so many things to like. The elastic around the top to keep dirt and sand from coming in the top. The mesh is well made and fine. The back is open but I really have not had as many issues with debris coming into the sandal from the heel. But the ankle was just too large and so was the footbed. I have the Hoka trail model and running shoes and I love them this just did not fit my foot. The shoe fit the length but no where else.

I was honestly disappointed. I was expecting them to be light weight and they are a little heavy for me. I have hip and back problems so I was hoping for very light weight

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.

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.
