Customer Reviews Hoka Kawana 2

Shoe size run a little narrow. Foot feels a little cramped. Plan on giving it a week or two to see if they feel any better.

Daily gym workout shoe. It is tight through the mid-foot, unlike my Cliftons or Bondi models I wear for running.

The shoe itself is great. I love it for the gym, but I feel like I got a pair that was tried on by somebody and just shoved back in the box with a little mark on the right shoe also an extra pair of gray shoelaces, which I know don't belong to them, and the shoes were put in the box just right on top of the tissue

The shoe is similar to other HOKA models I own. The reason I purchased this shoe was for fit (experience with previous models) and use at the gym based on the HOKA shoe finder. The shoe has a good supportive feel in the foot bed but requires the laces to be pulled much tighter than other models I own.

I have multiple pairs of Hokas, several Bondi & a hiking boot all of which are great. The actual color of the shoe is much lighter than pictured. This goes for the upper and the sole. The toe box is also narrower than my other pairs. I would have returned but I was leaving for an overseas trip and did not have time to find an alternative.

The shoes are great and very comfortable. They squeak however with each step. Thought it was just a breaking in process but have had them for a couple weeks of continuous wear and still squeak.

Was going to be my first pair of Hoka's, loved the style and vibe. BUTTTTT super awkward fit, very narrow. I'm a true 12 regular width in all the major brands and these painfully narrow and cramped. Idk. Returning.

This is one of the better looking shoes ive seen in a while, unfortunately this shoe is insanely narrow, at least for my feet, just a warning to other people looking at this shoe, maybe shoot for a different model. Will be returning, but still sticking with Hoka :)

I really like them, but they do take a little to get used to. I am still trying to get used to them, but they are comfortable.

These are extremely narrow to the point of hurting my feet. I've never had a problem with the Bondi's, Arhai's or Clifton's models not fitting right. The style and quality are spot on with Hoka. I guess I wasn't expecting them not to fit like the others. Had to return them. Returns were quick and easy.

Had to only give these a 3 star because it doesn't come in a wide. Loved the shoe but hurt my foot so returned for a different model.

I purchased these about 6 months ago. I was looking for a gym/walking shoe with very high hopes for giving Hoka a try but I was quickly disappointed. These shoes felt great walking around in the store but my first week wearing them my feet begain to hurt but I figured they were just getting broke in. Fast forward a few months and now if I wear these shoes to walk a mile I'm in pain on the ball and heel of my foot and for hours afterwards they are tender. I have never experienced this in a shoe. Maybe just the wrong shoe for my feet but I cannot recommend this shoe.

The product was not as form-fitting as previous styles and orders. Feels too big and not true to size. Plan to return them.

I've had for about 5 months and one side of the lace supports is coming loose and glue has failed.

For years, I put off buying Hokas because of the lack of style options and pricing. Despite working for an orthopedic clinic, whom recommended Hokas to nearly every patient, I was still hesitant. After two broken feet, weakened ankles and painful bunions, I gave in. The shoes definitely help with my chronic foot, back and knee pain; however, the soles are already shredding and they're too narrow for bunions. I use them to walk, not run, on a treadmill and then wear them for work, which has carpeting. By no means am I using them in situations wear it would be reasonable for the breakdown. Unfortunately, it's past the 30 days to return them. The other issue is, where do I go from here, if I did return them. I have spent so much money, on shoes, trying to find relief from my chronic pain. I don't foresee these shoes lasting 6months, let alone, a year to be able justify the cost. Inflation drove up the cost, while lowering quality. My socks are thicker than the shoe tops so, I constantly worry about them ripping.

Too squishy for the gym. Better running shoes for the price.

Bought this shoe for an everyday trainer, much too narrow to be worn at the gym, or even walk in. I do not have wide feet, and it felt like my foot was hanging off the sides of the insole. The sole is also much too high for a gym shoe, not enough ground feel leading to a lack of stability. Overall, this shoe did not live up to expectations.

I walk about 16k steps a day. My feet feel tired and hurt in the center

Shoes are really nice looking but, shoes are too narrow, and uncomfortable can't wear to work and be on my feet all day, I should have sent back

I wanted so badly for these shoes to be comfortable. I walk about 10, 000 steps a day for work, and my feet are hurting toward the middle of the day.
