I have pairs of original Kawanas. They were soft and comfy. These were hard and uncomfortable. Thanks.

Ive had great experiences with HOKA tennis shoes, but my last purchase KAWANA 2 was not. The shoes is ugly in person than online. My main problem is the lace, it kept untie every time i tied it. Overall, it's not an attractive pair of shoes and should have been price less than what i paid for.

this shoe does not fit well if you have flat feet. I have flat feet and this shoe hurt my arch really bad.

Very stable shoe but I did not like it for my long walks. Clifton 9 and 10 far better and more comfortable.

These have been recommended for my feet issues. Unfortunately they did not work for me at all.
They felt too big though everyone said they were true to size.

The color was much more of a blush pink. I was hoping for a beige. However, because they were on sale, I kept them. I’m using them to work out on my treadmill this winter.

Felt too narrow. I have been wearing the Cliftons and thought I'd try these since they were on sale, but felt too narrow and not as supportive as the Clifton, sadly I need to return

Fit felt larger than the other Hokas I have been wearing Also the arch on right shoe rubbed my arch. I never experienced that before.
Liked the color.

The pink shoelaces won't stay tie, the white soles get dirty easily and the shoe overall is not firm enough

When I first tried these Hokas on, I thought they would be perfect for my cross training needs with bonus of being better looking than my Bondi's. However, within minutes I realized the inside collar was very stiff and, right under the ankle bone, I could feel a pressure point. My feet do not pronate. I realize it's meant for lateral movements, but I could feel where the shoe had pressed hours after taking off the shoe. I had to return them. I bought my usual Hoka size and the fit was true to size.

These felt too narrow in the heel, and I don’t have wide feet, have never bought a wide shoe. I wear a 9.5 and they were perfect in length, but felt too tight around my heel and arch, so they went back. If you have narrow, skinny feet, these will probably fit great!

I find this shoes large for a 6.5.
I have other Hoka size 7 and it fits nust right so I ordered 6.5 but then surprised that it is big for my feet.
Shouldve gotten Kawana size 6 instead. But it is not available.

These were very nice shoes, but pinched my feet at the toe box. I usually get a wide, but it wasn't available in this shoe. Other reviews indicated that they felt the shoes were too wide, so I took a chancebut ended up returning them because I didn't find them wide enough. They also seemed shorter at the toe than my other Hokas. Nice colorI liked the light blue.

The shoe was oddly shaped. I tripped walking around my apartment. Perhaps the marshmallow-y sole wasn't stable enough? Not for running.

I usually run in Clifton's but wanted to get another pair in the rotation. These felt really hard to me and aggravated my hip flexor. Obviously, my anatomy is mine alone and yours is different so take with a grain of salt! I was told kawanas are soft from precious years, but this current version felt hard with every step. I love how they look!!! So cute. Thought about keeping for walking but didn't wanna risk it since I had pains after wearing them (mind you, I did an easy 3 miles in them and that's it). Took a week off running to let my hip rest, returned to my Clifton's and no pain. Like I said, everyone is different but these don't work for me, wish they did!!

Way too much fabric in the toe box. Designed as if feet are 3” tall. Just far too much volume. Feel is also fairly firm rather than cushioned.

Purchased theses for myself, and Cliftons for my son. Hokas have always been great straight out of the box, but this is the 3rd pair returned in the last couple of weeks because they are too wide.

The shoe has potential as a gym shoe for those with wide feet. Definitely needs a makeover.

Product is very light weight, but there's no arch support. After 2 hours of walking and standing, had pain in my knees and ankle.
