How do I know which pair is best for me?
The classic, chunky Hokas are often designed with the brand’s MetaRocker, the underfoot design meant to rock your foot forward in its stride—a shoe experience you may not have had before. And it’s exactly this shape that takes the pressure off your joints and makes walking all the easier.
At the end of the day, choosing your pair of Hokas will come down to personal preference. Think about your intended use and issues you have faced previously in walking shoes. If you’re looking for a pair for walking that have more cushion than others, you will want to look for those that have the maximum cushion and stability. Or if you want a lightweight pair that you can also use for running, consider weight and versatility.
How should I care for my shoes?
While you can throw the laces in the washing machine, you will want to use a small brush or towel to clean the exterior. Lightly scrub with a soapy mixture of water and laundry detergent, and then allow shoes to dry naturally (away from heat and sunlight).
Do Hoka shoes run wide?
Most Hoka shoes are known for having a snug fit, despite their wide appearance. Quite a few of the styles range from regular to wide to even extra wide (in some), so you can play around to find the pair that fits your foot best. Though when it comes to foot anatomy, Hokas also tend to be foot-inclusive, with a range of size options and regular, wide, and extra-wide width options.
