HOKA

Hopara Sandal - Men's

Solidly okay hikers

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

Bought these two weeks ago for a rafting trip down the grand canyon. For hiking purposes these are perfect, lightweight, comfortable, and grippy. As a sandal or water-shoe however, these come up short in several ways: 1. The cordura mesh prevents any debris (including sand) from exiting the shoe through the sides 2. The holes in the heel sucked in rocks like no other water shoe I have ever worn 3. The heel cup, while great for hiking support, prevented debris from draining out the heel holes 4. The heel pull tab on one shoe disintegrated within two days of use

Perfect Fit

Loving this Hoka sandal/shoe - it fits perfect - interior foot glove & adjustable heel velcro make for a perfect fit - quality is the best !!!

I love these shoes.

I have issues with my Achilles tendon and these shoes irritate it less than anything I have found. I couldn't be happier with them. They do feel a little small which I'm glad for. I ordered size 14 which these are and they feel like a13.5 which is what I really need.

At first they were ok. They ended up hurting my feet.

1st week was good. Still not as comfy as first one. Then they started to hurt my feet. There is no ability to bend the foot. It is very stiff and tight making your plantar hurt as you continue to wear them. No flexibility.

Love the product.

I had free expedited shipping. 2 weeks later I received the product while I had already left town for a month.

Love these shoes....BUT.....

We bought two pairs (one for me and one for my wife) for a cruise. I'm a huge fan of HOKA, and these shoes are great with ONE HUGE MUST KNOW: If you wear these in sand, they turn into SAND STORAGE UNITS. The issue is the mesh design vs. the slot/sandal design with NO MESH. They are very hard to clean the sand out of and will hold a METRIC TON of sand (wink). If you're looking for a beach or hiking shoe that works getting wet and you're going to be walking through sand/mud/gravel...keep this in mind. They dry out and hold up great, but that's the major issue we had with them. We used them on our Cruise and the style and comfort is 100% HOKA and we love the shoes other than this one design issue. Using them in water where you won't be sinking into sand/mud they are perfectly fine water shoes, if not exceptional!

Very Comfortable sandal

Bought these sandals for a cruise and very happy with them so far. Fit is good and are very comfortable for walking.

I absolutely love these shoes.

Like I said I absolutely love these shoes. So comfortable and my feet can breath while keeping them covered. I ride my ebike wearing them and the great. My first purchase from HOKA but I'm think of buying walking/running shoes.

Oh yessssss

My husband and I both got a pair of these and absolutely love them! True to size as well for both of us. They are comfortable, like a covered recovery sandal with a hiking shoe bottom. They gave me great arch support and I have flat feet! There is ample room in the toe box and again I feel they run true to size.

NEVER

The sandle was not close to size. I could not get my FOOT in to the product. But I only bought it for my down time an I do have another brand that woek's good.
