Horrible
I opened the shoe up as wide as it would go and my feet didn't fit. I have a pair of Kawana 1 and I love them. What happened to Kawana 2

Perfect sneakers!
Hoka sneakers are the most comfortable sneakers I’ve owned!

HOKA quality
A defective pair, zero support, an hour (no joke, literally an hour) spent talking to customer support, who responded within 5 minutes, to no avail. The sneakers themselves are fine, if only they'd at least been checked for defects before shipping. The website's user experience (UX) is a nightmare, especially for iPhone users.

We don’t want you to feel this way or question the quality of your shoes. Thankfully, you can start the exchange process bit.ly/HOKAEXRT within the 30 day window which is extended to 60 days for HOKA Members. Once we receive your shoes at the warehouse, we will get to work on processing your exchange. Keep an eye out for email communications and updates on your exchange being shipped out.
Don't waste your money
After just a few months of ownership, the emblems start pealing off the shoes. Don't waste your money unless you want shoes that aren't aesthetically pleasing. Don't waste your money shipping item in for warranty claim because they will send back to you claiming "normal wear and tear." This was my husband's first pair of Hokas and he loved them, but unfortunately, it will be the last.

We are sorry to hear your husband's pair didn't hold up as we hoped. We sadly cannot offer an estimated mileage for every model, as there are many unique variables that can affect their life expectancy. If you have questions about how our warranty team came to their conclusion, visit our warranty page here: bit.ly/HOKAWty, and please don't hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns. Our number is listed here: bit.ly/HOKAHelps, along with useful care and maintenance tips to keep his pair at their best.
Great for Supination
So many shoes are made for pronation, but these work for me as a supinator. I'm also hypermobile and need shoes that keep my metatarsals from subluxating and provide enough stability with feedback to help me keep everything else in line. The Kawanas are the best I've found for all counts. The rocker keeps my mets happy, right amount of cushioning for comfort but not so much I can't tell when I'm hyperextending ankles, knees, hips. And they help my back when I'm walking. I can no longer handle walking more than 2 miles at a time, but I wouldn't be able to do even that without these shoes! I literally wear these everywhere. Would love it if Hoka would make slightly more stylish shoes with this same internal structure!

Overpronation Support
I am a big fan of Hoka shoes for years. Gaviota 5 running shoes were my last purchase. They have been reliably great for my 5k/10K runs. However, I recently joined F45, but the Gaviota 5 did not support my feet laterally for indoor funtional training. After talking with HOKA reps and some research, I narrowed it down to Kawana 2 and Arahi 8 (Kawana 2 is a winner here). Kawana 2 provided me with that lateral support I needed for funtional strength training, plus everyday walking. The only catch is that I still need the Gaviota shoes for running.

Not comfortable
Im not a fan of this model as they're my second pair. They aren't comfortable at all and hurt my feet
