User Reviews
I had two coworkers recommend this brand and I am SO glad I listened to them. These are the best walking shoes I have ever owned. Plan on making Hoka a staple in my closet from here on out.
since i bought the price is gone up by $25.the price was reasonable when i bought it.
I honestly got these shoes for my daily errands and general walking shoe. While they are technically intended for hiking, I like the extra texture on the sole - it makes me feel more in touch with the ground under my feet. The shoes are comfortable as I’d expect from HOKA. I’d recommend these shoes for anyone.
Very great quality shoe. Fits awesome and looks great. Get many compliments on them and they feel great. Excellent walking/running shoe.
Also Rt c do go go if he CD do he go if F
These shoes are very comfortable and lite weight
I normally I wear a size 13 and that’s what I ordered. With some swelling during running they get really snug. I’d order a half size larger.
Great fit and comfort. Great for walking.
