Customer Reviews Hoka Ora Athletic Slide

The shoe is comfortable but I don't have a high arch. This shor is not made for low or no arch feet. They just don't feel as good as the Ora's I purchased before.

I have the same exact pair in white and they are amazing. This black pair must be made with a different material because they are very stiff and not as comfortable. Disappointed in my second purchase.

I have loved the last 4 or 5 pairs of Ora slides I have owned, but something is different with these. They caused a blister on my left foot. It took me too long to figure it out so I couldn't return them. I ended buying a pair of last years and have no issues. Comfort is there overall but can't gives these a 5 start due to the blister, seems they are more narrow this year. I don't think it's the width because I don't typically wear a wide.

I work at a million gallon Olympic pool where I've been coaching for twenty years. It's a highly specialized environment and good footwear is almost impossible to find. The stomping around on a concrete deck all day leads to back issues. I've found I need a lot of cushion. The high arch in the original Ora slides made for the most comfortable Hoka slide ever made for aquatics but there were issues. The high arch and lack of grip took a lot of getting used to in avoiding slips on a wet incline. The second version wasn't quite as comfortable but was the most functional every day pool slide ever made I've been through six pairs. Everyone I work with owns multiple pairs. As I've chewed through my collection I finally had to arrive at the Ora athletic slide 3. They're comfortable at the house but the solid band across the foot I suspect is going to wear out quickly from the inevitable sliding tensions I'll place on them. The arch support feels really good but the cupping feels awkward. I have no idea how that will translate to the pool deck. I will say this. For those of you working on a pool deck or boat deck every day you know the worst slides are crocs. Reefs and flat footed ofos will destroy your back and get eaten up by the environment transforming into ice skates after a month. I think Hoka still probably has the best every day aquatic slides on the market but idk yet about this third iteration. I know that right now I have serious doubts but I'll post an update if the news is good. Also I'd trade these in a heartbeat to go back to the first version. The first Ora's with better grip would be a game changer in the aquatics world.

this slipper is not bad. i would have kept it if it was not for too much arch support to the point that its uncomfortable. maybe it works for someone else. but it was not for me

I thought this slide would be more diverse

I love my Hoka sneakers. but this slide was extraordinarily uncomfortable. I am pleased with the rapid response from Hoka when I indicated I didn't want it and wanted to send it back.

This recovery shoe fits to large if you're a female with average shoe size. It's a shame

I bought these for my wife at size 8 and they were too small her toes were over the edge. So I gave them to a co- worker who was a size 8. I bought the same exact one only this time a size 9 and they were still to small length wise, but bigger in height. I bought my daughter a pair and she has the same size 8 foot as my wife, but I got her a size 10 and the fit perfectly for her. So i would say they are two sizes to smaller than what is stated.

I wore these to clean the house all day and developed blisters on the arches of my feet. I was super upset because they where comfy upon wearing them at first

I bought these because I absolutely loved the white ones with orange writing. But the two pair couldn't be more different. These fit loose, they seem to be made of a different material, and just are not comfortable as the white ones are. My foot slides in them. Pretty bummed. Ok, very bummed. It sounds crazy, but.. compare for yourself.

I had to return the slides because the strap that goes over your arch is too high off of the shoe and I was able to put my whole hand between the top of my foot and the slide. Not comfortable at all.

I love the brand but this shoe is made all wrong it is narrow at the toes and to much of a gap where your arch is making it hard to walk in. Has the true soft comfort for walking.

Ordered size 11 sandals but one feels tight around my foot, while the other is loose. Disappointed in the difference in fit given the cost.

I don't like them. The prior version was so much better - with ventilation and a better fit. I also dislike that they extend in the back. I wear my HOKA sandals during the workday at my standing desk and they have provided good support. Unfortunately my dog chewed one and so I had to buy the new version. It's overall less comfortable.

This slide feels much tighter and more stiff than the slides I am replacing. I do not remember my current slides being this uncomfortable when purchased. My current slides are the best house/garage shoes ive ever owned. This new ones, I dont know if its just because my other ones are so good, that these do not even feel like Hokas. Disappointed, but if you decide to buy, buy at least 1 size up. I'm a 13, and should have purchased a 14 or even a 14 1/2 maybe.

Unfortunately, Hoka does not appear to check the actual shoe sizes of their products. I have 2 pair of Bondi 8 size 10.5 that fit well. The ORA size 10 I received were a FULL INCH too long! I understand sizes between manufacturers will vary, a full inch is a little much. Hoka could mitigate the problem by recommending sizing up ot down, depending on product. Waiting for size 9 to arrive.

Love my old recovery slides. Need new ones. Tried these. Ordered usual size. They were so wide, my foot went straight through and my toes went beyond the top of the shoe! I am a womens 10 medium, never have to adjust my size in any brand shoe. Couldn't believe how wide these are. Why does Hoka keep changing all their good shoes for the worse? I don't get it! I need recovery slides and I love Hoka! What do I do?
