first pair of HOKA sneakers
I was interested in HOKA because my Zumba instructors use them, and I have arch pain when I dance, hike, get up in the morning, etc. I've used my sneakers twice now (if you don't count day one - around the house!). Day one: 1 hour+ mountain trail hiking. Day two: 45 minute lake hiking and 2 hours on...

Tread holds mud like no trail shoe I have ever had before
I have been trail running for years, but bought my first HOKA this year, because our local small business running store carries them, and not the Altra I have been running in. Since I wanted to support my local store I decided to try them. The shoes are comfortable enough, but the tread picks up mud like crazy. It is spring and the ground is wet and I have yet to come home without the shoes packed with mud. I walk the same trails daily in hiking boots and nothing like this happens with them!
first pair of HOKA sneakers
I was interested in HOKA because my Zumba instructors use them, and I have arch pain when I dance, hike, get up in the morning, etc. I've used my sneakers twice now (if you don't count day one - around the house!). Day one: 1 hour+ mountain trail hiking. Day two: 45 minute lake hiking and 2 hours on my feet at the humane society. Mountain hiking - my arches started to burn halfway through the hike, but the pain went away by the end, so maybe it was just me breaking in the shoes? I've never had pain that went away WHILE hiking, so that's great! Lake hiking - no issues. Standing - I was not pain-free on the bottoms of my feet, but it could certainly have been much worse. Context: 200lb 42yo female. Usually wear women's 7 but the kids' design was TOO CUTE to pass up. 6Y feels a smidge big, but I'm confident the next size down would have been too small.
I'll consider more browsing
I purchased speedgoat thinking a hiking shoe would be proper for a lot walking. That style did not work for me so I returned item immediately. Now I purchased the Clifton 6. And I kept it. I'm aiming more towards a " walking fit ". With that being said. I'm still getting to know hoka's line of styles.

Worst shoes ever
We bought these for our son and the coating has been coming off after just a few weeks of wear. The only way they warranty anything is to mail them back to them. So basically you will need more shoes while they evaluate the issue. These are just poorly made junk. We have loved Hoka but will never buy another pair!

Official Response by HOKA ONE ONE
Your son's shoes should be as strong and resilient as his daily adventures. With so many varying factors contributing to each pair's wear, it's difficult to pinpoint an estimated mileage. If you suspect that a manufacturing or material defect has affected the lifespan of his shoes, we recommend sending them in for an evaluation.

Definitely recommend
My daughter absolutely loves these shoes. With other brands she would come home from school and kick her shoes off since she's been wearing Hoka I have to remind her to take her shoes off. Very comfortable and extremely fashionable
I would buy again soon
The shoes are comfortable lightweight and I can walk in them all day without my feet's hurting
SO SO COMFORTABLE. I ONLY WEAR HOKA NOW
I TRIED MANY TIMES TO NOT BUY A PAIR. THEY GOT ME! SO SO COMFORTABLE. PLUSH AND STABLE PERFECT FOR EVERYDAY WEAR.
I would definitely buy again and again
It's my second pair. I love them I was having leg pain bought these shoes no more leg pain.
Great running shoes
Kids felt a big difference in trail running. They absolutely loves the comfort and the feel while trail running.
Great shoes!
These shoes were for my 11 year old son. He has arch issues that cause him a lot of foot pain and issues when not supported correctly. He loves these shoes , says they relieve his foot pain, and loves that they are super light - like he's walking on a cloud. Thank you, Hoka!
