Customer Reviews
Hoka Ora flipRunning warehouse is excellent
The hoka flip 8 was too small
The 9 was too big
Hoka recovery sandalsThese were given as a Christmas gift and he loves them. Has reduced his pain after working on concrete all day!
Not an Oofo or even closeHad Oofo slides for a long time. When I first stepped into them is was like “walking on clouds.” Unfortunately, they stretched out over time and became loose, but still worked. However, I left them in a hotel and needed a new pair. I bought them when they were $45, now they are $60. I got the Hoka’s hearing good things, but never wore them.
When I got these they were so hard. Then the right one was bigger/looser. I realized the thong strap was longer causing the flop to “flop” way too much and found myself trying to hold it on with my toes. Not to mention it wasn’t close to the comfort of an Oofo. I sent them back and bit the bullet on a pair of Oofo flops. Not looking back...ever. Hoka needs to make their recovery flops as soft as their shoes.
I realize people that think these are comfortable have never worn Oofos and for a few dollars more you get much more comfort.
Walking on cloudsI owned Oofos recovery flip flops before but after getting those ones, completely different comfort level and the nice cushion of Hoka sneakers but in a recovery mode.
Ora flipThese are the best!! I’m dealing with planter faciatus and bone spur and needed a good flip
flop. These are it! And they look great on me Thank you Hoka
FABULOUS!!I have arthritis in my metatarsal bones. They feel like they are grinding together all of the time with severe pain. I purchased these shoes for the arch support. WOW!! When I get home at night I put these on and wear them until bedtime. They have made such a difference. The arch support is just enough to relieve some of the pressure off of the metatarsal bones to give me relieve. Game changer!
HOKA JOYThese shoes are great for me...make walking easier with cushioning and uplift. They are very comfortable and I can wear them for long walks. These are now my favorite shoes to wear for casual comfort and everyday. Will be repeat purchases for me on these great shoes!
RECOVERY SHOESMY MOM LOVES THEM
Amazingly comfortableThis is my second pair, loved the first and love this one as well. I've got foot issues and these work beautifully!!!
Love these!!!Love these! I have really high arches and wear these everyday. They have great arch support.
cushy flipsgreat flips took them new to Hawaii , I did have to wrap the toe post with thin padded tape cause my foot was not used to the friction of the synthetic post. did have to size up for proper fit.
excellentfit and feel is amazing. i've had several pairs.
Do yourself a favorIf you are on your feet all day at work and then come home and cook or grill every day you gotta get yourself a pair of these, your feet will thank you, absolutely worth every penny
OUCHThe toe strap is very uncomfortable. The material doesn't cut it but will cut you
Sloppy fit recovery flip.The overall cushioning is OK. I thought it would feel softer but I felt it was a little firm for the stack height. I still would give it 4 stars but the main issue is the fit. I normal wear a 10.5 running shoe. So, based on reviews, I ordered a size 10. The Hoka recovery flip feels sloppy on my feet. Not sure it's worth the money.
ReliefThese have definitely helped with the pain i have on the top of my foot due to running. I can almost immediately tell the difference once i put them on.
I even wore them camping recently.
I love them.
Best Zori ever!I grew up in rural Hawaii where 90% of people wore “slippahs” 90% of the time. They are also known as go-aheads (hard to back up in them) and the Japanese who invented them call them Zoris. I've owned hundreds in my 75 years and these are the best ever! BUT, order at least one size down. I wear a size 10 Hoka Bondi or Clifton. My perfect size Hoka flip is an 8.

Hoka FlipThese are the best flip flops I have ever worn. Just like having a pair of Hoka shoes on but for Hawaii weather much cooler. My knees feel so much better walking around - great support. Highly recommend these for anyone but especially someone with bad knees.
Super comfy flip flopsI really like there flip flops. Super comfy. Foot slips around slightly when wet, but overall good purchase. I would buy again!
Uncomfortable strapsThe arch support was amazing, but the material was very uncomfortable. I was hoping for the original style that was made of soft rubber. The cloth toe piece rubbed way too much so I had to return them. Running Warehouse was very good about the return.
Great serviceI bought the Hoka Ora Recovery flip flops. Loved them but they were too big. Completed the simple return instructions and received the replacement flip flops soon thereafter. These fit nicely. I'm a happy customer!
ComfyComfy and Hoka quality.
Very Happy Customer I got these slippers in the mail quickly and they are more comfortable thanI could of imagined. Going to stick with this brand!

Comments: Absolutely garbage and over priced. I bought a pair of them and they only lasted a few months. They fall apart to easy! They need to go back to the old version where the toe piece was made out of rubber not cheap cloth. And this was my second pair I should have learned the first time. However my first pair the ones that are all rubber which I bought in 2018 are still together.

Comments: Great product for post runs or just casual wear. These are super comfortable and the cushion has been awesome to wear after any type of run.
From: Rodrigo. August 18th, 2021
Comments: Great sandal for recovery, I use Hoka's Trail running shoes for playing in Senior Softball tournaments. And the flip comes in super handy after the last game of the day during an all weekend event. I'm a big guy, 6-1 260 size 13 shoes. This flip is like walking on a cotton filled pillow. Enjoy everyone.
From: Salsakid. August 18th, 2021
Comments: These sandals are supremely comfortable. Feels like walking around in my Hoka Bondi runners. I wear them after runs and in the morning when my ankles are stiff. They make it easy to walk even when I'm sore which totally changed the game for me. As others have said, they run REALLY large. I wear 10.5 wide in Bondi and Clifton so I ordered a 10 in the Ora (no half sizes). It's really big. I will probably order a size 9 next time.

Comments: I recently received 3 pairs of shoes as a gift. And the shoes give me the greatest arch support that I have ever felt. I am so happy to the proud owner of these shoes. Thanks so much.
From: Lawrence. July 1 2021
Comments:These are the most comfortable flip-flop sandals I have ever worn. I was skeptical of the term "recovery" sandals but they are exactly that. These flip-flop sandals help heal my sore feet and are a joy to wear.
From: Rob. Burbank, CA. July 1st 2021
Comments: Amazing!!!! I have super flat feet and am a high mileage off trail backpacker--my feet take a literal ass whipping everyday...I wish I'd had these flips years ago...I love them so much I bought 4 pairs right after wearing my first pair for an hour!!! Highly recommend to EVERYONE!
From: Jen. Grand Canyon. June 5th 2021
Comments: The flip seems very well made but the high drop (height of the sandal) is just too high for my taste. I like my sandals to be as close to the ground as possible, these are very high and some may like that but consider it first before buying.
From: B. Miami. June 3rd 2021
Comments:No matter what shoe you run in, this is a must-have for post-run recovery. Optimally cushioned and provides precise contours to cradle the feet.
From: SK. Los Angeles, CA. April 6th 2021
Comments: Well kind of being pricey, they are very comfortable, probably the best sandals I've ever worn!
From: Anonymous. February 27th 2021
Comments: Very comfortable. Remember they run slightly big and to order a 1/2 size down. Only problem I had was they hurt my right big toe. Something was strangely rubbing my toe. It went away after a couple of times of wearing the sandals. Now they are perfect. Whatever the issue was it went away.
From: Rambo, Mississippi. February 4th 2021
Comments: The newer ones don't fit as well as The older ones I had. The thongs are too loose.. unless of course you have a very fat feet. Have to wear thick socks or they are useless.
From: Brooks Fremont CA. January 26th 2021
Comments: The slippers run 2 sizes too big and are still to big and unstable. I wear a 9.5 dress shoe, 10.5 running shoe, and a 9 slipper in just about all brands. I could have worn an 8 in this slipper.
Secondly, the front drop is as dramatic as my Vaporfly Next %, so the scissorred version mean the center part digs very hard into my toe bridge. At $50 I was just immensely disappointed and gifted them to my 75 year old father who normally runs in a size 11 shoe.

From: Jimmy, Santa Maria, CA. January 8th 2021
Comments: Did not fit foot well and footbed not comfortable. Overall disappointed. Much prefer the Oofos recovery sandal.
From: Anonymous. October 17th 2020
Comments: Not as comfortable as old design.
From: Todd. September 28th 2020
Comments: These flips are good. I've got plantar fasciitis and its a big help.
I've owned these as both slides and flips. The slide versions of these shoes are much much better. The thongs are not well implemented. They broke between my toes after just a few months of occasional wear. Also, the strap that goes between your toes cuts into the top of your foot.
The slides are perfect. I strongly suggest you get those instead. Plus you can wear them with socks. ha
From: Don, Boston. September 23rd 2020
Comments: My wife and I each have these sandals and love them. I think they have plenty of cushion and are extremely
comfortable.
From: Todd Scottsdale. August 15th 2020
Comments: They were great but only lasted about five times of wearing them and the right sandal came apart.
From: Anonymous. August 6th 2020
Comments: These are the best flip flops ever!
The first pair actually came apart after two weeks but the running warehouse return policy was so easy.
The replacement pair came directly to my house and other than UPS being a few days late everything else was first class
Thanks

From: Anonymous. July 23rd 2020
Comments:I had to go to the flip style over the slide style. They were better fit for my wide foot. I am getting use to them. Excellent job with the customer service department.
From: Mike, Clarence, New York. June 23rd 2020
Comments: Hated them. I LOVE Bondi's and though these would be Bondi's just in a flip-flop style. Nope. Where's the marshmallow cush? These are supposed to be recovery footwear.
Sent them back and bought Oofos. Now those are what these should be.
From: Tim Fairfield. March 31st 2020
Comments: These are good sandals. Great if you prefer "thong" type flip flops. My main complaint comes from the fact that I bought these and not the "slide" style. The webbing that goes between your toes has some rough edges. It caused some chaffing to the area between my toes until I used a very sharp knife to rub away the edge.
Other than that, they are just what you'd expect. Soft, cushy, supportive and easy to slip on. They are just what I needed to deal with my plantar fasciitis since my PT and doc said "no bare feet".
I do wish I'd gotten the slides. I think they would be more comfortable. It would also allow me to wear them with socks (inside only, not out in public!! ha)
Re sizing, I am a size 10 in size wide hoka shoes and a 10.5 in standard widths and the sandals in size 10 fit about right. I have wide feet and was considering going to the 11 for greater width. But the 10s are good.
From: Don, Connecticut. October 30th 2019
Comments: Once you get used to them, they are really nice. I'm usually in Ola Kai flips, and these are nothing like those. Probably closer to my wife's italian elevated flips. However, I really like them. Like other Hokas, plenty of cushion.
One issue is I wish the straps were just a tad tighter to more support.
I went down 1/2 size and they fit fine.
From: Larry, San Jose. October 14th 2019
Comments: Super comfortable sandals to be all day and to recover.
From: Anonymous. September 20th 2019
Comments: I was not a fan of the flip style, but your customer service made it incredibly easy to exchange them for the Hoka slide, which I love.
Keep up the good work!
From: Anonymous. August 9th 2019
Comments: The MOST comfortable flip flop I have ever owned. I have plantar fasciitis and there is absolutely NO heal pain because these shoes are like waking on clouds. This is my 4th pair..one in each color. I wished they came in a dressy style so I could wear to work.
From: Shannon, Van Buren AR. August 5th 2019
Comments: Great recovery flip. Used after 100 mile race. Super comfortable and supportive.
From: Mike, Campbell Hall, NY. July 31st 2019
Comments: I've had these about a month to help with plantar fasciitis. I've been wearing these instead of going barefoot when I'm inside. They have been very comfortable for me and have definitely helped me recover. Great product.
From: Anonymous. July 17th 2019
Comments: Great product for post runs or just casual wear. These are super comfortable and the cushion has been awesome to wear after any type of run. I got a size 10 which is what I wear and they fit a bit wide due to my narrow feet. But I would not go up or down in sizes. Awesome product, good job Hoka!
From: Anonymous. July 15th 2019
Comments: comfortable flips BUT the thong strap is too sharp and ripped deep cuts on my feet between the first and second toes. Had to tape pads on the straps and this causes them to be uncomfortable between toes but better than slicing up the skin.
From: Jim. July 11th 2019
Comments: Relieves any fatigue my feet may have. Comfortable flip flop.
From: Anonymous. July 7th 2019
Comments: I am a military man and used to run in mediocre shoes. I also fish a lot and needed a flop/ sandal with more fusion. After discovering Hoka 7 years ago, I am now on my 31st pair and I have traded in all other flops for their recovery flop. I absolutely love their product line and will likely be a Hoka man for life!
Great support for after runs as well as long days guiding on a fishing charter!
Love the new style!
From: Army Fisherman, Huntsville, AL. July 1st 2019
Comments: I run trail ultras, and normally after a race, my feet are very sore. I purchased these because they looked like a nice 'treat' for my feet after a race. I have owned these for about a month or so, and have run two ultras, and have found these to be great to slip on after a race. They are comfortable and easy to wear. I have not run in them. They are nice to put on as 'casual wear' even if I have not run a race. I would wear no shoes if I could, and this is about as close as I can come to that. So far so good!
From: Ondrej, Mequon, WI. June 20, 2019
Comments: Most comfortable flip flops I have ever owned. I'm usually a size 10.5 but a 10 in these fit great! Highly recommended.

Comments: The bottom of the shoe fit fine, but the rubber strap was pretty uncomfortable between my toes.
From: Sean, Orlando, Florida. May 9th 2019
Comments: A little stiff with the first time putting them on by the 2nd or 3rd day they felt like a Bondi. very comfortable.
From: Leo. April 5th 2019
Comments: Most comfortable flip flops I have ever purchased. I wear a size 10 in the Clifton and Nepalis both snug in the forefoot and these flip flops fit me great in size 10.
