Use the shoes for trail running. I am not particularly concerned with speed and am not a long distance runner, usually not over 5 miles. These work great for my purposes. The shoes have great spring, fit true to size and have an excellent grip. I also noticed that the shoes remain mostly dry in dewy conditions, as my Clifton's did not.

While this shoe is, like every other Hoka shoe, like a ride on a cloud the back of the shoe doesn't hold your heel very well. It leaves you feeling like you're constantly slipping out of your shoe. I'm hoping that wearing it in more will alleviate this feeling but, I think I may not buy this style again.

I have heel pain and I don't need to change special inserts for this issue. I am comfortable using this pair. However, need a whole day of usage to stretch the width. It wasn't painful but a tiny bit tight on my right midsole. After that it's all good. This pair has some reflector strip. Btw, this colorway is stylish and cool.

I primarily use these in the gym (stairmill, elliptical, treadmill, HIIT). I started with Cliftons and Bondis, and while the comfort was there, I did not like the look of either. I decided to try the Mafate 2's after seeing my sister's gorgeous pair. I had no idea that trail running shoes would work just fine, if not better, in the gym. I absolutely LOVE these. I now have them in all but one color. Not only is this the first shoe that hasn't required my custom orthotics for plantar fasciitis, but it is also the most comfortable and most gorgeous shoe I've owned. I ended up buying a few speed 4s. While they are equally comfortable and supportive, they are not nearly as cute as the 2s. Please keep making these! They are so uniquely gorgeous. ****True to size is true ... MoreI primarily use these in the gym (stairmill, elliptical, treadmill, HIIT).

These are my 3rd pair of HOKAs. First two were5 star all the way. These would probably be as well but the toe box is too narrow for me. I would like to return them for store credit to get a different pair.
I am a size 9 womens and I have 8 pair of Hoka Clifton and Bondi shoes. This pair of All Gender shoes is so narrow and short that there was no way I could wear them and I didn't think that they were likely to work in any size. I don't know what Hoka is thinking. Very narrow such that my foot can feel the trim and so short that my toe hits the end of the shoe. So weird. I was so hopeful since they are sort of a white alternative.
I really wanted to love these because of the color. What a beautiful neutral with just a pop of fun! I thought that being "all gender" would mean decent width, but these were just weirdly narrow and long. I'm almost always a women's 7, very rarely a 7.5, and have feet that are medium width bordering on wide with medium arches and a slightly high instep. I ordered these in M6/W7 and returned them for the width issue. Sizing up for width wasn't an option because they'd be uncomfortably long. For reference, the Speedgoat mid in size 7 is my go-to speed hiker (2 pairs now), and after this disappointing experience I raced to my computer and bought a backup pair of those in case they stop making them.
I have worn the Bondi, Stinson, Clifton, Rincon, and the Mafate (all of these in various versions) and these Mafate Speed 2 definitely work best for me for outdoor walks/runs. I have continued to get calluses on the outside of my big toes with Hoka's. I have never had this problem with any other brand of running shoes, but I think I finally figured out that it is because there is too much toe room (something I never thought I'd complain about, as I like to wiggle my toes and have slightly wide feet). These are wide enough, but not so wide like many of the others are. The traction on these is great too, which keeps me sure-footed (important, as I'm klutzy). I like the 4's of this model as well, but these are my preferred shoe of the two. I have stock piled a couple ... MoreI have worn the Bondi, Stinson, Clifton, Rincon, and the Mafate (all of these in various versions) and these Mafate Speed 2 definitely work best for me for outdoor walks/runs.

These seem to last longer for me than many of the other models, so hopefully they will keep my feet comfy and moving for a very long time.
I bought the U ORA PRIMO in black for the gorpcore aesthetic, and I couldn't stop choosing them over other shoes when it was time to get dressed on the weekend. So I went back to HOKA for some work shoes because the support was unparalleled.As someone who has hyperhidrosis and flat arches, these shoes are like a spa day for your feet. The uppers are thin enough to let my skin breathe, and the soles are supportive and bouncy to compensate for the arch I don't have. I honestly want to get more pairs in different colors.Not really sure what others mean by that it runs narrow, I tend on the wider side for my small shoe size and found them super comfortable about a week after wearing. I do believe you need to break them in a bit though.
