Customer Reviews Hoka Kawana 2

Tried these on in store, however the color I wanted was unavailable, so came online. Purchased my usual size (Clifton) however these are so narrow in the toe, they're now unwearable. They're also very shallow so my orthotic doesn't fit. I removed the insole, however am now missing the cushioning under my forefoot. Sadly, after only 2 months I will no longer wear. Understandably on sale.

The only good thing I will say about this shoe is they are very lightweight. I am less than impressed by comfort with running. My legs feet ankles knees have been painful ever since I bought the shoe. I will be going back to on clouds

Two narrow for me. I had three pairs of the Kawana1 and could wear them right out of the box. I've given these away to a friend who loves them. I can see by the reviews I'm not the only customer you might not keep. BTWwhen the "1's vanished and the 2's hadn't come out, I wrote to Hoka asking for a recommendation for a replacement. Never heard back.

Put them on for 10 minutes and returned them the same day. Not comfortable at all.

I have worn Hoka shoes for years and they have always been size 8.5. These are labelled 8.5, but are much bigger. I compared the soles with my other size 8.5 Hokas and they are not the same sole. My foot moves around in them and I have almost tripped in them.

I am so VERY DISAPPOINTED with your RETURN process as it's IMPOSSIBLE to get the shipping label needed for the return process!!!! As soon as you chose to reply to my email text I will hopefully be guided in how to return these sneakers. I hope to hear from you SOON as it's been over a month and I'm getting nowhere!! Sadly, Cathy

I've been wearing Hoka for years. I decided to look for something different as I usually buy from Hoka. However this ones are not comfortable at all. There's something in the right shoe that makes me feel pain in my arch. I wouldn't recommend to buy kawana 2 :(

Not as comfortable as I expected

The shoe is bad, the hokal label peeled off and it is very uncomfortable

It was send used

The sole in the back is not desirable. Way worse than it looked in pictures.

Ordered this shoe, and once received, it had a weird pointy part that sticks out in the back. It looks really weird! I exchanged the item online for a different style shoe, while the website was running a 20% off deal. They canceled my exchange order, saying it was a payment issue, but it was the same card the original item was purchased with and works fine. Dealing with customer service was horrible!!! They refused to honor the discount if I reordered the shoe, after they made an error with running the payment. I have never dealt with a company that refuses to make it right. Just keep that in mind, and think twice about exchanging. Just return an item and order a new one to be safe.

When I received my Hoka's. The laces didn't even match with the shoe, and they would not send me the correct laces that belong to the correct shoe. I will return them for a full refund and not purchase any more Hoka's ever again. I thought they guaranteed their products. Not my fault someone shipped the wrong color laces with my shoes. Bad customer service. I work in the medical field and will spread the word about my bad experience. I do not recommend this product. It's overrated and overpriced for you get.

I've had three pairs of the Kawana 2 shoe and I loved them. They were recommended to me after I was diagnosed with arthritis in my feet. I'm returning my fourth pair because the shoe no longer has an arch support. I thought maybe it was a flaw so I returned a pair and requested a replacement. The second pair were no better. I'm so disappointed. They were stylish and supported my feet but I can no longer wear them.

I have several pairs of Hoka sneakers and this style (Kawana 2) is the one I am most disappointed/dissatisfied with. I have a pair of Bondi and two pairs of Clifton 9. The Kawana causes blisters on my toes and the laces are horrible: they do not stay tied and are a serious tripping hazard. I have never had the laces of my other hokas come loose, neither have I experienced blisters with the other styles. I bought the Kawana because it was touted as the best for the gym; I have had to resort to my Clifton 9 as my go to gym shoes. Very disappointed.

Bought a pair of Kawana 2 and thought they were pretty good overall. However after just under 3 months of use the material around the lace holes is peeling away. I figured maybe it was just a glitch and I could contact Hoka to get it taken care of. What I'm most disappointed in is that I have to pay to ship them to Hoka and that money is lost. So I'm actually paying more money for a pair of defective shoes. They pretty clearly just stand behind their policy - not necessarily their warranty.

Squeezed my feet, so uncomfortable to wear, after wearing this my whole body ache a lot. Not recommended
