Uncomfortable
I tried several different inserts to try and make these wearable but nothing works. I ordered one half size bigger than usual as recommended. The toe area especially is very uncomfortable. Cannot walk more than a mile without hurting.
Comments by Store Owner on Review by HOKA on Fri Oct 30 2026HOKAYou shouldn’t have to try different inserts to wear this style. If you’re looking for a bit more room than a standard women’s width provides, converting your size to the men’s Kaha 3 Low GTX could offer the extra space you need. Use our sizing chart to compare measurements HERE, and when you’re ready, make the switch with a quick exchange HERE. and we will be glad to take make the switch.Published date29/10/26- SizingFeels half size...

Angled Toe
I ordered these shoes twice. The first time, I returned them because of the angle of the toe cut-off space, so I went one size larger. The shoe's toe angle makes it uncomfortable to wear, even after sizing up. They are passable for shopping, but not comfortable for hiking or for long periods.

Horribly uncomfortable
This is my third pair of Hokas and I’m very disappointed. They are extremely hard and uncomfortable and are too short in the toe area despite being my regular size in Hokas (and every other shoe). I thought I could break them in but they are unbearable. They were expensive and I can’t wear them- sup...
Comments by Store Owner on Review by HOKA on Wed Sep 30 2026HOKAUncomfortable and too short in the toe area? We are bummed as well but you never have to keep a style that doesn’t work for your needs. Check out our sizing chart HERE to find your ideal fit in the men's sizing. The men's version of this style will offer a naturally more spacious fit compared to the women's model. Initiate your exchange HERE, and take them for a spin under your 30-day trial.Published date30/09/26- SizingFeels full size...

Easy to Match with Everything
Although the name HIKE might make you think they're best for hiking, they're perfect for everyday use as well. Since they're made entirely of leather, they're durable and long-lasting. They run a bit snug, so I go up half a size. They're more flexible than other models, but if you have high insteps ...

Exceptionally comfortable
Wore these for 200 miles practice walking for the Camino. So good I bought a new pair for the actual Camino and wore them once before the walk. Not disappointed. Supreme comfort. No blisters. Great grip and fully waterproof in a deluge. I would advise when ordering, to wear your walking socks when c...

Great shoe!
I was hesitant to order the Kaha 3 given some of the low ratings, but it was on sale so I decided to give them a try anyway. I'm really glad I did! They are both a bit cushy and stable at the same time, which should be good for daily walks and the easy to moderate hikes I do. The higher collar on th...

Terrible redesign
I loved my Kaha 2s. The Kaha 3 is not even close to being the same shoe. The toe box has been squared off and my usual size is somehow too small and too big at the same time.

I had to return it
It didn't work for my arthritis/hallux rigidus. Too tight on top of my joints.
