I like these shoes for easy walks. They have a lot of cushion and it feels like you’re stepping on a cloud. My only issue with these is the lack of foot and ankle support. I’ve started to prefer more structured shoes like Salomon’s for walking.

Hoka

Hoka earns strong reviews for comfort and performance—many runners, walkers, and all‑day-on-feet professionals report pain relief, plush cushioning, and durable mileage from models like Clifton, Bondi, Arahi, Mach, and Speedgoat—yet critiques cite bulk, uneven fit between styles, and polarizing aesthetics. Reviews also flag premature wear, narrow or wide fit mismatches, and inconsistent stability on trails, making model selection and foot type matching critical.

While the initial fit was good for the shoe , they do not stand up to "normal wear and tear." I purchased these for my 17 year old son for warm up shoes in track and some everyday wear. He went to camp and took the shoes, while playing basketball he landed and his foot went through the outside of the shoe, it split completely open. This was less than 4 months from purchase date. I contacted Hoka warranty, and after a "thorough review" that took less than 24 hours they deemed that it was normal wear and tear. I have 3 active children and have bought dozens of shoes and have not had any other brand split like this one has. I would recommend not putting your hard earned money into these shoes.

These shoes were recommended to me because I have ankle, knee and hip pain from old athlete overuse. They were easy to size and fit. The look takes some getting used to. I could not get comfortable though. The sole/footbed is so hard and sturdy that I felt the pounding of every step. I am glad it's great for others, but not me.
I purchased the transport shoes because I wanted something stylish and comfortable. These turned out to be great walking shoes - super comfy, and I always get compliments when I wear them. I am already on my third pair!
