Customer Reviews Hoka Kawana 2

So far so good can't complain about anything yet very comfortable.

I have about 10 pairs of Hokas. These are my favorite.

Great looking and comfortable from the beginning! Just what I was looking go to wear with khakis!

Casual shoe, fits my needs .

I can't wait to transition to my Kawana 2 on days off. It's like a personal spa to your feet. Comfort! Stability! Style! My 1st time wearing them and having my wife know how comfortable they are, she'll be surprised soon.

Has potential for being a great shoe. Unfortunately, it did not fit me. Specifically, the inner Hoka insole edge is sharp and I could not find any way to wear this without the inside edge of the insole uncomfortably cutting into the insole of my foot (unless I wore very thick socks). I tried swapping the insole out for other Hoka insoles, but it never fit right

I haven't got my shoes

Absolutely the best of my Hokas. Keep moving them forward in the wear scheme. Comfortable all day wear.

These shoes are so comfortable. It's like walking on pillows.

I am a big fan of Hoka shoes for years. Gaviota 5 running shoes were my last purchase. They have been reliably great for my 5k/10K runs. However, I recently joined F45, but the Gaviota 5 did not support my feet laterally for indoor funtional training. After talking with HOKA reps and some research, I narrowed it down to Kawana 2 and Arahi 8 (Kawana 2 is a winner here). Kawana 2 provided me with that lateral support I needed for funtional strength training, plus everyday walking. The only catch is that I still need the Gaviota shoes for running.

These shoes are a Swiss Army knife!! Perfect for light runs, weightlifting, and Metcon workouts. Only thing I wouldn't use them for is heavy lower body movements (squat, deadlift,RDL) since they have such a cushiony sole

a bit narrow

The Kawana 2 is a comfortable shoe for walking - I am an administrator at a Middle School - walking is what I do. Not as cushiony as the Bondi - I just tried something different... For me? Was not worth the try.

Probably didn't choose the best model. This one is super comfortable for walking but doesn't give me the stability I need for agility exercises

I am a runner. I've been running for many years. I've heard a lot about this brand. Unfortunately, not very happy with comfort. customer service was 100% fantastic. They took back a pair of shoes that I had and I did not like running in them. My feet would start to hurt. They refunded me. I got these in the same issue.

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Hoka Kawana 2, and overall, I'm quite impressed. These shoes excel in comfort and versatility, making them suitable for gym workouts although they are a little to long for the staristepper. I'm not much of a runner so I haven't run in them and it's winter still so I haven't had a chance to take them on a long walk yet - I feel they will excel walking for me. The cushioning is ample but not so much that you sacrifice proprioception - which is an issue with similar brands. I love heavier shoes, light shoes geek me out. These may be on the heavier side for some but I personally love the solid feel. The support in the gym is commendable, especially for lateral movements. The fit is true to size, though it may not be ideal for wide feet - that said I love them and I have relatively wide feet. While the Kawana 2 performs well in most aspects, it falls short in heavy weightlifting because they are too springy for my taste now. Once they mash down a but I bet they will be fantastic. Overall, I would rate the Hoka Kawana 2 four out of five stars. It's a solid choice for those prioritizing comfort and versatility in their workouts. Plus they are a great looking shoe.

I am a long time Hoka fan having purchased a couple dozen Hokas over the years for running, trail running/hiking, backpacking, and sandals. My favorite shoes for years have been Bondi but they are so big and bulky (although not heavy) looking so I thought I would try something new. The Kawana 2 is very comfortable and looks good. They are not quite as cushy as the Bondi so I use these only for walking rather than running. One thing to note that was not evident in the photos is that the heal is forked with a sort of big knob that sticks out. When I look at the photos now, I see it, but I didn't notice it prior to purchasing. I'm still trying to get used to the funky look. So I've decided not to look at them. Other than that, they are comfortable and stylish and I would recommend.

Great fit & great feel. They offer awesome support for my feet, back and knees. However, in really cold weather my feet do get really cold. I have had to wear two pairs of socks sometimes but still recommend these shoes to anyone.

At almost three months and they feel like they have lost there support the upper material has a stretched worn out feeling the soles have felt great from day one

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN THESE ARE MY 5TH PAIRS OF HOKAS AND I LOVE THEM . SO FAR I HAVENT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THEM P.S YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU GET. THANKS

I have 3 other pairs of Hokas, all 11.5 in size, my Kawana 2 is a comfortable shoe, butt 11.5 is just a bit big. I also have Bondi 8 that is a little to tight. Both I was told to go up 1/2 size. Which worked for the Kawana and the Rincon 3. Just a note to you Hoka Folks. What you do with the info is up to you Regards Mike

I love the shoes, fantastic for HIIT. From body weight, lateral movement or medium weight lifting to running it performs exceptionally. What killed for me was rowing and elliptical because the heel doesn't fit the cup. I get the design of the heel is probably what makes the shoe perform so well but it really doesn't work well for rowing machines. Going back to Solimar.
