Good shoes. Using them indoors only and they are great on the treadmill. I like that they have a rubber contact patch vs some other Hoka shoes that only have foam. These should last longer.

I’m convinced the excellent support and cushion provided by Hoka shoes has helped reduce my knee pain and arthritis. As well, I get so many compliments by people who recognize the Hoka name. Worth the money.

The shoes just came in today and what a disappointment!! These were a gift and there is no way I am giving these to someone. Didn’t come in an original Hoka box. Has sharpie just written on a beat up brown box. And the shoes are completely used. They have black marks, scuffs and stains all over them. I can’t believe it. Shame on Dicks sporting goods. Will not be doing business again and absolutely returning them.
I bought them for my son and it was the only pair left. They are little big, but I am sure he will grow into them by summer. They are light and comfortable and the price made it a great deal. It is my son's first Hoka and he is impressed. Thank you, Dick's Sporting Goods!
This is my third pair. I originally liked them because they don't have an insane amount of cushioning like other models. After the second pair, I moved to try On Cloud. Now that I went back to Hoka, they feel a bit stiff in comparison, but they aren't bad, just different. I need to try them on a 20k run to really see how they feel. That's next.
One of the best shoes I've had the pleasure of wearing. They fit my narrow foot without any problems. They will be appreciated in the airport while waiting for the plane.My family is truly jealous. I'm looking at another style.
Great fit and lockdown. They are true to size for me. Good room in the toe box. I'm not a fan of the midsole. It's too squishy and bouncy for me. I don't feel like I get much energy return. Just squish. My other issue is durability. I have 37.5 miles on this pair and the midsole is already showing creasing and compression. The areas of the sole without rubber overlay is showing a lot of wear too. I plan on returning these and looking for something with a firmer, snappier ride for daily miles.
The Look is nice. I really believe that this version is rather poorly built,as compared to each of the Omni 7 or Omni 8's I own.I have a pair of Saucony that I feel the same with. All of them are just becoming like compact cars.
These are great. Like others have said they are very lightweight and cushioned but not in a way that it’ll change your balance. They are very stable and offer good traction on anything dry (haven’t gotten out in rainy conditions yet). I wear 8.5 in my Salomon shoes, I had to buy a 9 in this model as the 8.5 was slightly too small. The 9 is larger than what I’m used too but the fit and comfort are perfect. I honestly don’t want to run without them!
