Hoka, you have outdone yourselves on these Hopara 2s!!!! Grippy soles capable of taking on all terrains? Check! Adjustable enough for these wide feet? Check! Good for wet or dry conditions alike? Check! Responded to customer reviews for the original Hopara? Check! Same phenomenally comfortable Hoka sole? Check! Netting to keep out the slugs and stones while keeping the feet cool and dry? Check! Thank you, Hoka One One.... these are a home run!

Great all around shoe. the mesh construction keeps your feet from overheating and the tow box is wide enough for my EE shoe size. the arch support is better than any shoe I've tried. I will be purxchasing a fleet of Hokas.

Love the color and the cushioned ride! Allowing air in as they do will be great when touring Tuscany in the hot summer months this year!

These are everything I've wanted in an outdoor shoe for a very long time. I have wide feet and foot issues caused by an old injury, and the Hoka sole is what works for me. These Hopara 2 shoes with the netting over the sandal will be a great improvement over my old Keen sandals, as I detest getting slugs in my sandals when walking through wet grass.... just sayin'. Anyway, I did find the feel of the shoes to be a bit funky in the first couple of wearings. I needed to loosen the laces and the straps and walk around for a bit before tightening things back up. That helped. There was still an odd feeling of a zero drop, which I didn't find comfortable. The solution was to break the sole in a bit by bending them backward a couple of times. That made them much more flexible. These shoes will now be able to take me on long hikes across rugged terrain, and I won't need to worry about getting caught in downpours. The comfort level of these shoes is OUTSTANDING, and even more supportive than the Bondi 6. I am hoping that Hoka makes a winter version of this shoe, because this adjustable fit is vastly superior to the Stinson ATV6 in every way. Simply put, I love these shoes.

I have owned at least 3 pairs of Hopara 1. Hoka improved the Hopara 2 heal strap by adding an extra and more secure and heavy cloth strap. The Hopara 1 heal stitching kept on breaking and it have to restitch with fishing line for added strength. The new Hopara 2 strap holds your foot more forward. I found that I had to increase the size from 10 to 11 to get the same comfortable fit.

My arch collapsed and this didn't provide any support. There is an area near the medial side mid section of the foot that was irritating and agitating with pain every time I walked. The net on the front inside were very protective, but I wish they covered the entire foot. Specially, the back that's that was left open where tons of sand and rocks got into the area.

I owned a pair of Hoparas for almost 2 years. Great shoes and I love 'em. But as you age your feet go thru unexpected changes. It finally dawned on me the Hoparas were now too small. Found the Hoparas2, went up a size and I'm once again comfortable and very happy. Quite possibly the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I'm 73. That's a lotta shoes

They are so much more comfy than regular sandals and I use them as my crossing water shoes when I go hiking. They are comfortable enough to do a few miles in them. I did buy them half a size bigger to wear comfortably with shoes.

I cannot stress how much I enjoy these. I purchased in July in prep for having while visiting the BWCA. These shoes are so comfortable. The bed is a firm synthetic footbed that provides enough cushion while also accommodating support for long stretches of hiking or walking. The mesh panel design is great in keeping these shoes dry and ventilated. I have worn these regularly now into November. When paired with a wool sock it has been an excellent shoe for the fall in Minnesota.
I will say that I wore these barefoot this summer often and I don't think the wear is as comfortable barefoot. The footbed tends to make my feet sweat without socks. When I wear socks with this shoe I'm comfortable all day.
Essentially these are go anywhere and do anything shoes that work as barefoot shoes but excel at being a functional walking/hiking shoes.

Love this shoe, and in particular the toe protection. I am using these as a sandal replacement, quick on and off, and as a boat shoe when launch boats and kayaks. I have destroyed multiple pairs of good flip flops when launching boats, these are so much better. I believe I run a true size 10.5, and found the 11 fit much better.

I bought my first pair of Hopara 2 about two years ago. They had gotten dirty and a little bit worn so I bought a new pair in the blue and green color. They are my every day shoes in the summer. I need arch support and there was enough room to add Superfeet inserts which add more cushioning as well as art support. Woohoo these are great.

Its been extremely hot this summer and these are great. I normally wear boat shoes, but these are better. More padding underneath. Cooler than sweaty leather. I would buy these again. In fact, I did. I have two pairs in different colors!
Just a note, these really aren't true to size. I normally wear a 10 1/2 and these are a 12. Once I figured that out, it's fine.

I recently got the HOKA Hopara 2 and I'm seriously impressed! These shoes are incredibly comfortable right out of the box, with amazing cushioning and support. I've worn them for hiking, walking through streams, and even daily errandsand they've held up perfectly in every situation.
The grip is excellent, even on slippery surfaces, and the water drainage is fast. They dry quickly and feel super breathable, which is a big plus during summer. The design is also sleek and stylishI bought two colors and love them both!
Highly recommend the Hopara 2 for anyone who wants reliable, all-terrain performance with HOKA's signature comfort. Well done, HOKA!

As I am getting old, I notice the plush comfort of my HOKA's and this shoe for sure, have me wavering a bit and not as steady on my feet. So I have to go for less plush shoes. This shoe is a bit hard to get my foot into with the heel flap and the heel strap fighting with each other some. Again, as an older person I want easy on and easy off. This nifty shoe takes a bit of work for me to put on. I put a stiff insole in my shoes to help with plantar fasciitis and in this shoe it has me leaning all over the place.
