Customer Reviews Hoka Kawana 2

I purchased a woman's size 7, which is my typical size, but had to return as the part of the shoe around the ball of the foot was way too big. But the 6 1/2 was great. I used it this year to do a turkey trot, and my feet were very happy

I've been wearing these sneakers for three week now and they are a dream. My feet feel like they're walking on clouds. I struggle with plantar fasciitis and these are just great. Will be buying a second d pair!!

The past two months I think I've come across plantar fasciitis and so trying these Hoka shoes has made a huge huge difference. my heel no longer hurts. What a big difference. Love these hoka

Before heading on a trip to Vegas, my dad and I got shoes in the Kawana 2 style. We ended up walking over 22 miles over three and a half days while on vacation in Las Vegas. I cannot recommend these shoes enough. As someone who ALWAYS has sore feet/ankles after walking any distance more than 2 miles, these were AMAZING. No arch pain, no ankle pain, no shin splints, no problems at all for myself of my dad the entire trip & after we got home. I went with my usual size of a women's size 9 and found them to be a perfect fit. I plan on purchasing in another color!

If you are on the fence about getting these shoes GET THEM. These are my first pair of hokas shoes and they are exactly what I was looking for. I love how they don't look like gym shoes they are very versatile you can wear them with sweatpants, leggings, and jeans!! They are so comfortable to wear no need to break them in. The sizing is a bit off with Hokas I'm a size 7 in the Ariah 7 (had to return because I got 6 1/2) but in these, I am a size 6 1/2

Best feeling shoes EVER!!

I am a nurse I absolutely love my first pair of Hokas!! I wore them for 9 hours without any discomfort!!! Would definitely purchase more!!

HOKA did it again with the updated version of Kawana shoes. I love them as much as the first pair I purchased. They're so comfortable I don't mind wearing them all day.

I use my shoe everyday for gym workouts.

I plan on buying another pair of Hoka. I am on my feet quite a bit and have had issues with my feet for quite awhile. Other shoes never seemed to give me the foot and ankle support I needed. My foot Dr gave me a list with five different brands of shoes. Hoka was at the top of the list, so I decided to invest in a pair of Hoka and I'm glad I did. This is the first time my feet do not hurt at the end of a work day, and I am so happy!

Love the brand and went with a less supportive shoe. Should gave stuck with what I originally have purchased. These are definitely something for a more stable runner or general everyday wear.

I ordered a size 9 and they looked like a size 10. They felt too hard and uncomfortable on my feet, even though they were too large. I have been having trouble with the New Hoka's. The old styles like the Speedgoat were fantastic. They were comfortable with a padded tongue and better padding. The new style is not as comfortable and seems like it is less quality. The same with the Clifton. My old pair is so comfortable on my foot. They fit like a glove...The new style...not so much. I am now looking at other brands since Hoka is changing and I don't like the new styles as much.

I have preferred the Hoka with the more cushioned sole because of my ageing feet. However, this shoe is adequate when I go for walks.

These are okay. But love my version 1 Kawanas!!!! They fit better. These feel bigger or not as snug around the toes. Thought i bought the wrong size. Colors are too limited too!

I have two pairs of the Gaviota 4 in Size 11 and I love them; was trying a new style and new color. BIG PLUS-Shipping was insanely fast!!! Kawana is a beautiful shoe BUT it is too big AND way too wide in toe box. I wore Brooks for years and always wore an 11.5 or 12 narrow. My daughter who wears a 12 was grateful for the free gift of the Kawanas from me. I have a narrow foot and the Gaviotas have been perfect. Color selection is limited so I will try the Clifton's next.

I am a long term Hoka buyer and these just were not it for me! If you are looking for comfort, try something else! These were so stiff and didn't change after trying to break them in a bit. Will be returning

I am dumbfounded by your decision to change the only moderate support shoe you had to a neutral!! I for the first time could walk without pain. I have 5 pairs of the original Kawana's. A couple pair are the same colors because almost all of the colors have been atrocious. The new colors of the Kawana 2's are great finally, but now I cannot wear them because they are neutral. You have SO MANY neutrals already why, why, why? The two pair of stability shoes you have, I do not like. They are too stable for me, plus I just don't like the fit or style the Kawana's had a look of their own. I have raved to everyone about the Kawana shoe and how much it has changed my life literally. The new ones don't have the wider base for stability and they are hard as a rock. The others had just the right amount of cushion. Needless to say, I'm disappointed, and sadly will no longer be a Hoka customer.
