I walk 8-10 miles 5-6 days a week
This shoe lasted me 9 months, I averaged about 8 miles a day throughout those 9 months, that being that I work for USPS. I was a waitress before becoming a mail lady. My legs and feet often hurt after 10 hour shifts, all because I didn't have the right pair of shoes. I started taking foot wear and c...

My Unexpected Journey with Hoka Shoes
I have to share a bit about my experience with Hoka shoes. At first, these shoes were a dream come true. They were so comfy that I not only got a pair for myself but also went out of my way to buy them as gifts for my family and friends, raving about how great they were. In fact, over the last three...

Wife loves them
Bought the shoes for my wife for work and she loves them. She was constantly complaining about her feet and back hurting when she came home from work but that has ended since she started wearing these shoes. I recently bought a pair of hokas for myself and same thing, my feet and back were killing me when I got home. Not anymore. That is the reason I bought her a pair. Will be staying with hoka as long as they stay the way they are. Thank you for making a decent shoe when shoes have turned into junk with just about all other companies.
Too stiff
I bought this work shoe after a foot fracture. While it has ample room in the toe box, the shoe causes me terrible pain on the bottom of my feet. It feels comfortable where the fracture occurred but standing in this shoe is not comfortable.

Great sneaker except… Annoying squeaking
Bought the sneakers and have been generally really pleased with them. I love the height. I love the stability. Although truth be told they have not held up well. Every time I walk the sneakers squeak. It's actually pretty embarrassing. Additionally, the tiny piece of Rubber upfront has lifted up. I have normal wear and tear on the sneaker and that should not have happened. Both issues (this squeaking. And the craftsmanship upfront) would make me pause before purchasing again.

Official Response by HOKA ONE ONE
We are happy to know you have been pleased overall with your pair but are concerned to learn about the squeak that's happening. A bit of cornstarch or baby powder sprinkled into the insole often resolves squeaking issues as it typically is a sign of moisture trapped in the soles. Try that and see if this eliminates the noise. Also, since you felt there was another issue with the front of your shoe, feel free to send them in to be evaluated through our one-year warranty bit.ly/HOKAWty that covers material and manufacturing defects. Our Warranty Team would be happy to assess your shoes.
Yes
My foot doctor recommended I try , cause I fell and broke my big toe in two places. I walk better and the support is very helpful.
Nothing Compares
This is quite literally the only shoe I will purchase. I wear these for work and I can tell you tha! most of the employees where I am are wearing them as well. I have a knee replacement, back injuries, hip pain, etc. What shoe I wear is extremely important. And they're skid proof as well! There just is nothing like a Hoka shoe.
Australia Bound
I purchased these for my Assistant who is going home for the first time in 5 years, she needed some extra support, she'd just purchased her first Bondi's, she's a big girl and afraid she'd roll her ankles and said you just have the Bondi SR, you'll get the support you need.
Quality control issue
Unfortunately I have to exchange these sneakers because of a quality control issue. I placed them on my feet at 6am and around 12 noon I started to notice a pinching pain on the right top side of my left foot. I opened the shoe to examine them and noted an extra amount of fabric on the tongue if the shoe. I then noticed redness on that same area of my left foot. I immediately checked the right side and that extra fabric and redness do not exist. I love these shoes, they're wide, cushioned and provide balance, but I can't tolerate this pinching pain to break them in. I have to exchange them for a new pair.
Best walking shoe ever!
I've tried many walking shoes in my entire adult life and found my new HOKA shoes to be the BEST one so far! It really helps with eliminating the extra stress to my knees with each step which in turn eleviates the strain on my lower back. AND I get nice compliments on my shoe choice. I love it!
10/10 Would Buy Again
I bought these shoes for my job at a restaurant. I was wearing just regular shoes that weren't nonslip and I'm so happy I got new shoes. These HOKAs are the best thing ever and them being nonslip is great for my job. They are so comfortable and make being on my feet all day easy. I would totally buy these shoes again.
Absolutely love these!!!
The worst thing about these shoes is that after wearing them, all my other shoes are uncomfortable and don't measure up. They have amazing cushion and support. The slip resistant sole is second to none. The wider toe box let's my toes breathe and doesn't cram them in like sardines. They are super easy to clean. I cannot say enough good things about the Bondi SR.
