Comfortable, stable and lightweight.
Star Rating is 5 / 5
Walking shoe
I haven’t actually worn them yet, but I did try them on & the fit was good.
Star Rating is 5 / 5
Great for walking and every day wear.
Love the fit, cushion and color. Fit true to size.
Star Rating is 5 / 5
Comfortable walking shoe
Very comfortable, only issue is a little tightness when I tie tight around the ankle. So I have to keep the left one a little loose, but other than that very comfortable and a very attractive shoe.
Star Rating is 5 / 5
Cushion meets support
This is the most supportive of the Hoka line since the Bondi. It combines support and cushion and lightweight. Where the Bondi was a heavier shoe this one feels more light weight while combining the cushion I need.

Run large
After trying these on I started a return/exchange. But it turns out that all of the sudden my shoe is out of stock, so I am stuck wearing them despite them being a bit too large. :(

Stylish and Colorful
Unfortunately I have to return these because the size is too long for my orthotics and overall comfort. I'll try and see if a smaller size fits better. I ordered these online without being able to try them on.
