Customer Reviews Hoka Kawana 2

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

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.

I ordered this hoping for good arch support, sadly not much arch support. Otherwise good shoe.

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.

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!!

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.

Not the ones I wanted but they will work til I get paid again. Otherwise they are confry

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.

"The shoe laces tend to loosen up, which is not ideal when running back and forth to pick up the kids from school. I wish their laces were like the old Hokas I have. But other than that, the shoes look great."

I would buy Hoka products but not this shoe. They are not a good fit. I couldn't wear them more than 2 hours. They hurt the arch of my foot. I have to return these shoes and shop for a better fit.

I do weight lifting/cardio classes and I found that my other holes were too cushioned causing me to strain my body unnecessarily. My gym instructor suggested trying a different pair of shoes so I did my research and chose these. I wish I loved them but they're just okay. The sizing is correct but for some reason my toes will go a bit numb during use.

(9B) ...Terrific shoe ONLY if they offer wide w/ all their shoes. I have wide, flat & bunioned feet. So, annoyed that most of the shoes I may like don't have "W" offered. Then when they do have wide, it's so inconsistent. They should offer 3 widths - B, W, & Extra Wide to cover all the bases b/c it's so odd how off they can be per shoe on the widths. New Balance & Saucony are more consistent w/ widths. You would think a company that only designs athletic shoes over 10yrs- THEY WOULD GET IT. 10+ dang yrs! What? you only have 2 ppl workn on shoes?!?

I do not feel like I have enough protection at the back of the shoe

I was really excited to get my first pair of Hokas, especially after trying some on in-store with the help of a salesman who guided me to the right size. But when my pair arrived, they felt at least a half size too big, if not a full size. Unfortunately, I had to wear them that weekend, so returning them wasn't an option. Overall, I'd suggest trying on a few sizes in-store before purchasing to ensure the right fit!

I typically love Hoka running sneakers however this is the second pair where I wasnt in love. I will keep trying.

They didn't last very long for daily wear. I work as a Vet Nurse, so on our feet most of the day up and down from the ground etc. I got these shoes 04/2024 and it is 09/2024 and they are BEAT UP, like there's a hole in the fabric near the toe part of my right one. You'd think I've had them a couple of years. They are definitely comfortable and my feet and back don't hurt anymore but maybe they aren't for daily wear? That being said I will get another pair as soon as I can and maybe only use them for specific things and not daily wear. The sizing and slightly big, but I went down half a size and that's too snug so I'd say stick to your normal size.

They are okay but not as comfortable as my Bondi 8. Not as impressive, maybe would go with a different product.
