For reference I am 6"1 and 185lbs wearing size 13. The Shoes are about average comfortable and required no break-in period. However after just 77 miles of trail running they came apart in several areas where the side plastic meets the fabric and there was serious abrasion around the ankle fabric it basically separated and came apart. Only 77 miles and I cannot wear these shoes because they are falling apart. . They are comfortable but not glued together properly.

This is was actually my second pair of the Stinson 7. First pair was a good fit, good stability to cushion ratio, but the cloth in the heel wore through in a matter of about 4 months and ended up horribly worn out, torn an really un wearable. Because of the comfort and stability I thought that I would give them another go. I received them Mid May and here we are in Mid July and the heel has started to ware through again. Frustrating, because these aren't inexpensive shoes... Hoka, you guys need to figure out a much better material for the inside of the heel on these shoes.

As a woman who has a Morten's neuroma on one of her feet, I'm always looking for ways to let my toes have more "breathing space" in the toe box. Measured that foot (by drawing on paper an outline of it barefoot while standing), and even though technically the women's corresponding size would have fit, the men's size gives a few more millimeters in width.so I chose the corresponding men's size. (If you want to do this: Be sure to measure your foot and then check those measurements against the men's / women's size charts because, for instance a women's 11 is NOT the same as men's 11!) I don't have a wide foot in general (and so I don't shop in wide sizes); I just wanted a little extra width for my toes. Have been very happy with my choice. P.S. the maximum cushion of the Stinsoneven better than in Clifton or Challengeralso helps alleviate my Morten's neuroma pain.

I've been wearing Hokas for 7 years. Started out with the Bondi. Needed more support so I switched to the Gaviota, I wore the Gaviota 2,3,4 and then tried the 5 but like many, I was very unhappy with the toebox. So when the Stinson 7 was released I gave it a try. The Stinson 7 is by far the best Hoka I've worn; the best shoe I've worn. Th combination of the H frame, the wide base, and the somewhat firm, but very thick rubber sole provides unparalleled stability on pavement, grass, gravel and sand. With all that stability their is also plenty of cushion. The upper is fitted from the heel to the toebox - It hugs the foot perfectly adding to the stability of the shoe. The upper material is nice and flexible so it forms to the foot. The Stinson 7 is comfortable right out of the box, but because it's a fitted shoe it takes a week or two to shape itself to your foot. After a couple weeks it felt like it was custom made for me. The arch is a bit higher than the Bondi or Gaviota but it's nice and gradual front to back and to the side - so it provides the perfect level of arch support. By far the best combination of cushioning, comfort and stability of any shoe I've worn, and it's not even close. The Stinson 7 is a perfect 10!

I've gone from Speedgoat to Mafate and now to the Stinson. Each move has been a "step" up in support, stability and comfort. The overall usability of the Stinson for me is great. I'm 6'1" 205lbs. 59 years old and (road/pavement) power walk (15 min miles) to trail, fire roads and hiking up to 10 miles per day. The Stinson has become the "sweet spot" for me. Speedgoats looked good, but not quite the stability, or forward foot structure I needed. The Mafate fixed those Speedboat deficiencies (for me) but the cushy softness and less durable tread wore quickly and I needed to replace within 3 months. So far the Stinson is solving the overall structure, forward foot and tread sturdiness I need for my use. I've actually purchased the Kaha 2 Low for my primarily gravel/fire road and Hiking times and focusing my Stinson's for the road/pavement power walks. Hope this helps!

I am a women's 10.5 with wide foot plus high instep. I ordered men's 9.5 hoping that rounded toe means wider than normal....yay! It did! I love these! Excellent on rough ground and road surface to get yhere! The support and stability are excellent!

I've been wearing the Hoka Stinson for 3 months now, and while I'm impressed with the shoe's comfort and performance, I'm disappointed with the color lining quality. The shoe's comfort and cushioning are top-notch, but the color lining falling apart , I have other brand shoes and l never had this lining quality issue. Had warranty ticket and sent for manufacture warranty , and asked for replacement as I still like the shoes .

I originally had purchased speedgoat 5's and loved those shoes, I put 700+ miles on them and could've gone 200+ more before I had to replace them. These Stinson 7's do not have Vibram soles, whatever rubber is being used for the outsole is essentially useless traction wise as soon as they get wet. I've slipped and fallen hard many many a time on the trail, some of those slips and falls were in very dangerous areas on high rocks or close to cliffs. I hope Hoka reads this and makes improvements to the outsole rubber of this shoe.

Stinson 7 are my goto hikers. I own a lot of hokas. But these fell apart after my 1st time out on a 7 mile hike. My previous pair are still going strong so I'm going to exchange for another pair in hopes this was a fluke.

Great support but the toe box was too narrow. I went up a half size and the shoe was still too narrow. I bought two pairs and had to return them. Please make this shoe in a wide width.

I've been buying hocus since 2017 and suggest them to all my co-workers. I boast about not having foot fatigue after a 12 hour shift but I couldn't get through 4 hours before taking these off. The heels of my feet were screaming and they were just overall uncomfortable. I did notice they were harder than any of my previous hoka and I currently have 5 pair and have been wearing since 2017. Not sure what happened. Please address this issue

Midsole separated from shoe after 20 miles. Began warranty process and was informed Hoka would not be able to honor my exchange with the same size and color shoe after they were shipped but before the shoes were even received. Instead, they gave me a full refund. The shoe felt phenomenal but durability is unacceptable. I was also shocked to find that Hoka does not offer a Pro Deal for military and first responders like many other companies. I guess profit over quality is king these days. I'd pass on this model.

Had ankle surgery years ago and always had sore feet and ankles after a long day out. But these have so far been very comfortable and my ankles have not hurt yet with them! So cool

This is my fifth pair of Hoka's. The great thing about all of my Hoka shoes is that they feel great from Day 1. The Stinson 7 are indeed comfortable and quite stylish. I just love Hoka's.

They are true to size, a little snug but long enough. (Thinking they'll stretch) also coming from altras. Very comfortable!! Sturdy and well built! (Tore my altras first day out)

I used this straight out of the box on a hike. I have gone as far as 10mins and it's pretty comfy. It provides excellent grips for most hikes. I have also used them on super long travel days of 20+ hours and my feet felt great throughout all the airport walking. I think it's the only shoe that is plush + stable. I used to use ASICS Kayano and Brooks Ghost, but this is my new long distance walker. I'm going to use these until they start to fall apart then by a new pair. I also have wide feet and these have a large toe box and provide all the room I need. I'm a tall and heavy hiker and this shoe proved all the support. I tried the the bondi and other models that are ranked as the most popular shoe but they felt too hard for me. This felt comfy from the first step.

I have always loved the Stinson style and to finally make it in a solid black color was a bonus. Thank you Hoka
