Athletic Shoes
I bought these Hoya running shoes in an LL Bean store. I workout everyday and needed a running shoe that was comfortable and supported me during my workout. These shoes are excellent and I would highly recommend them.

I would never buy HOKA Again
I will never purchase whole because again. I just had one of the worst experiences with customer service that I've had with any company. I purchased a pair of Clifton nines in August 2024 for the specific purpose of taking a trip to Ireland. Ireland trip happened in September and was moderate walkin...

Tread coming off
After three months of use (not particularly heave), the tread on the left front of the right shoe is coming off. This should not happen.

Official Response by HOKA ONE ONE
We agree this shouldn't happen, and we see your point of view. Rest assured, updates to the manufacturing process will always prioritize comfort and performance. While we sadly don't have an estimated mileage for each model, we never want you to feel stuck in a disappointing pair. If you suspect the issue with the sole is from a manufacturing defect, please submit a warranty claim here: bit.ly/HOKAWty and our team will gladly assess it for you.
received less than 2week and sole is coming off
very comfortable but question the longevity of shoes

You shouldn't have to question the longevity of your pair. Thankfully, we have a one-year warranty on all of our styles for manufacturing and material defects. You can learn more and get started by clicking here: bit.ly/HOKAWty.
Clifton 9 hurts medial arch
Don't buy these if you are prone to plantar pain. I have a very high arch and this still presses to much on my medial arch. I tried them on in the store and wore/walked for a good 15 minutes and they felt great. After a week of break in they started causing pain in my medial arch. I tried two different types of insole, one was fit for my arch and this shoe presses it higher, lower arch support don't help either. I reached out to HOKA chat and asked for assistance and I was told there is no advice or anything they could do since I had wore the shoes for a week. I know your gonna say they have a 30 day return, but my break in was a few hours a day for two weeks, then every day after that and that is when the pain started. Since this was my first experience with HOKA, I will most likely move on and not buy another HOKA pair again.
Bad first time experience
I went into a local Hoka dealer and tried on some shoes that felt amazing. They didn't have any colors that I was interested in so ordered the color I wanted through the company website. I received my shoes and that same day I laced them up and went for a run. I had issues with my right shoes immediately upon my run I noticed my right foot looked a bit awkward and would focus my ankle to turn inward. Throughout my job i continuously felt pain on my leg and noticed the company. I returned the shoes but now unsure if I want to order another pair . I was hoping to take the shoes with me when I leave to the federal law enforcement training center in a week.

Easy shopping
Local Dick's didn't store a variety of Hoka styles and decided shopping direct was the next best thing to do. Purchased 3 different styles, tested each and returned the two that were least favorites. Easy return, quick delivery, quick reimbursement. Shopping direct is the new way to purchase Hoka one one shoes. Thanks for the great experience.

Clifton 9s are GREAT!
I didn't learn about HOKA shoes until August 2024. Since then I have bought and wear regularly nine (9) different models of HOKAs. My most favorite model is the Clifton 9. I have five (5) pairs. I know the Clifton 10s are now out, but since I really liked the 9s, I wanted to be sure I had them in different colors. I will probably buy a pair of 10s eventually. I love the 9s and wear them as my go-to sneaker for everyday wear and use. I have gotten my partner wearing them also. He says that the 9s are the only shoe he can wear without his feet hurting. He doesn't even use his orthotics when he wears his Cliftons. I normally wear a size 10, but in the Cliftons I wear a 10.5 for more length for my slightly longer right foot. The Cliftons fit snug but not tight and are very comfortable for all day wear. They wear and fit different from any other shoe you have in a nice way. Read about the different models to determine which one you like best. BTW, I recommend you join the HOKA club via email especially if you're new to HOKA. That way if you don't like your first pick, you can send them back even after trying them out.
