Customer Reviews Hoka Kawana 2

"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.

I loved the beautiful color and overall look and comfort of this shoe. I was so disappointed to send it back, because of the heel. The extended appendage on one side of the heels was a total trip hazard for me When walking down the steps, this little extension would catch under each step. I sadly felt that the risk of falling far outweighed the pros of this shoe.

Was looking to own a pair of Hokas and liked the look of these. I normally wear size 8s in women. Based on the reviews, it said they ran true to size so I ordered an 8. Unfortunately these are wide, and I myself have wide feet. It was roomy on both the sides, the back and front of shoe.

The sneakers are just ok. I like that it's a slimmer fit than the Bondi, but missing the cushion.

I recently purchased and had to return. They are not like my previous Kawana shoes. The toe area seems a bit too large for me. They give me the right support I need during my HIIT/LIIT classes but felt too big. Also, the shoelaces are shorter than the previous laces and unfortunately, my shoes kept getting untied. Normally I double lace but didn't think I would have to double lace these shoes. Overall, I love Hoka shoes but am disappointed with these new Kawanas.

I love my HOKAs. I have been wearing these shoes to teach middle school physical education. These shoes are light weight and supportive. Being on my feet all day can be tiring but hen I have my Kawanas on it takes the pressure off of my lower back. I love the style and shoe laces of these shoes. I do feel like they get flatter in the heel than the Cliftons.

I ordered my usual 6, but this pair is huge like a man's size. Although it looks big, it was rubbing my left pinky toe. The right arch is also too high. I really like it because of the color, but not comfortable to wear. So i will return

I was excited to order my first pair and took a risk ordering a new drop. I tried it out a few times but yesterday it rained and I was very uncomfortable in the show. It didn't provide traction so I felt like my foot slipped a few times. Then I walked into an establishment and my shoe squeaked so loudly each step it was very embarrassing. I am going to return and give a tried and true product a try instead.

Bought them for walking & flat hiking not confident using gor hiking.. appreciate ur follow-up - have wirn them several times b4 realizing they are too big so didn't ask about return

If wear long time my sides of my feet

I bought my wife a pair of Hoka and they simply were the wrong shoe for her, hurt her back and calves. We bought online. We then went to a store and tried on numerous pairs before finding the right one. Being we live so far from a store we thought buying online would be OK but simply not the case.
