Customer Reviews Hoka Stinson 7

I absolutely love hokas and recommend them to everyone I know. I have both Bondis and Gaviatas and I swear by them. I bought these because they are also considered plush and stability, plus they were a color combination that I really liked - as I hate white soled shoes. Unfortunately, these were just not for me. First of all, every pair of Hokas I have, actually every pair of sneakers I have are 7.5. I originally ordered these in a 7.5 and had to return them because they were way too big. The 7s fit better lengthwise, but they still had too much room in the toe box & fit oddly in the heel (too hard/inflexible?) to where my feet never felt secure and even hurt after wearing them for the day. I gave them several days and it just never got better. They were kind of high on my foot, as well. It actually rubbed a spot up around my ankle on both sides. I wanted to love these, but I'm going to have to send them back. I wish the Bondis or the Gaviotas came in better color combos like these. =( On a plus side, I thought these had great grip compared to my other Hokas

I wore these on rugged outdoor trails for approximately 20 miles and the uppers were already peeling apart from the soles. I have a planned trip to the Italian Dolomites and was planning to wear these for a good 75 miles. They were relatively comfortable minus some minor rubbing on my ankle, but I did enjoy the stability and cushion. However, I did ultimately return after trial run due to the peeling apart of uppers.

I ordered these Stinson's excited to get my new shoes, but unfortunately was very disappointed. The shoe doesn't fit anything like they typically do. I have had multiple versions of this shoe and I've been more wearing Hoka for years.

Stinsons have been my absolute favorite ultra shoe for many years now - everything from 50k to 100 miles - reliable performance and injury free! Past modifications to the design have been acceptable without changing the signature feel of the shoe. The 7 is a different ride and feel completely - quite stiff. I developed heel pain within a few weeks of wearing this newly designed shoe - it would've been better if they just gave this new design a new model name - or perhaps call it the Stinson 7 Stability... but please bring back the real Stinson - plush and neutral. Very bummed. The only positive was that there were some new colors.

I love the look of the new model but it it's definitely not as plush as the previous models. I have foot issues and the max cushioning of Hoka allows me to still go for runs. They are still comfortable but not for anyone that needs the max cushioning like the Bondi or previous Stinsons. I've bought the 4,5, and multiples of the 6. I hope the 8 goes back to a true "plush" support.

I bought theses 1 year ago, I did not wear them over winter at all, within 1st month a piece of the sole tore off the bottom, this summer 2 more pieces tore. The bottom of these shoes are actually shredding and poorly made. I gave 2 stars for comfort and style.

Stinson is my favorite model but I'm less than 3 weeks in wearing my new ones and they're falling apart. All of the outside decorations are falling off and they look horrible. I'm so annoyed.

My Podiatrist recommended Hoka. I tried several styles with no luck. Since I can't get my money back at this point I tried the Stinson 7. The bottom feels good but the shoes hurt me on top where it's tied and around the ankle after wearing all day. Still sore after two days of wearing. Waste of money for me.

Don't like

My mom loves Hoka. I purchased these for work, clinical hospital floors. Awful! I tried so hard to love these. I love the look of them, wore them 2 months and by hour 5/6 my feet absolutely killed me!! Zero cushion. I've never experienced that torture in my life lol I just finally gave up and purchased some very comfy cushy Nikes.

The new version Stinson 7 is not near as flexible or plush. The rugged sole is awesome but it lost the great cushion that I needed for my feet and therefore, lost my entire reason to purchase this specific kind. The massive heel point on them is very ugly and I'm still trying to figure out why they are made so high. And worst of all it appears you quit making the old plush good version that I need.

Walking on the treadmill daily. This new version of the Stinson feels very plastic like in the heel area. Very uncomfortable shoe. Now that there seems to be no Stinson ATR 6 I've been forced to look and buy them at other shoe stores. Please bring them back.

Very heavy shoe im not a fan of the stinson 7

I returned them immediately. I thought the color might look better in person, but it didn't.

Hoka Stinson has been a game changer for meI work in healthcare on my feet all dayand I can go all day in these with no issues. Stable, super cushy for these narrow flat feet, and great look! I own several pairs..would highly recommend!! I am an 8.5 and usually go up a half size in sneakersbut Hokas I can wear an 8.5.

I liked a sneakers in a manga and I saw Stinson like it's copy paste. So I had to get then when I tried it the comfy of it was so good one of my most comfortable shoes ever

I wear this shoe for walking and at the gym. Toe box is wide enough for my bunion and the cushion and stability work well.

I was hooked when the first Stinson came out, I'm pretty sure way over 10 years ago. Since then, they have been my favorite running shoes, and I am happy to say that it is no different with the 7. I appreciate the stability and the just-right amount of cushion.

My feet are a little wider at the top of my feet and the Stinson fit and feel great. I'm on my feet all day and my feet and legs don't feel tired.

These shoes are excellent for trail runs. I'm on my 4th pair. They are very comfortable and navigate different terrain safely. The lugs are great for grip and avoiding slipping on loose gravel. My feet never hurt after long, challenging trail runs in the mountains.
