Hoka- what size?

[kljdhs877]

I’ve heard Hoka come up small, I’m usually a pretty predictable 4, should I go for a 5? (Nowhere near me seems to stock them!)

I always go a size up - but it's because I run in them. Though they don't feel massive on me just a bit of extra room.

You should get them fitted - I wear the Bondi’s I’m a normal size 6 but wear 7.5 in them.

they are amazing shoes.

Running +1 size. Shoes. Normal.

Thanks all, I measured my feet and it’s saying only go up to 4.5 which is making me doubt 5! I don’t have anywhere near me that stocks them unfortunately.

I'm a 4 and wear a 4 in Hoka, perfect fit...also got the bondi

@Idontjetwashthefucker do you have a pair of New Balance 327s by any chance?

I went up a size when trying them on, but ended up getting a different brand, as they have a high instep.

I went up a size again from my running trainers (which are bigger than my normal shoes).

Be careful though I've had to give up on mine the high cushioned sole gives me back pain. I've googled it and this does seem to be a thing.

So I've gone back to Saucony for running and oncloud for day to day.

I’m a 4 but always wear a 5 for running

I wear a 5.5 and bought a 5.5. Mine are Gaviota's

Got ASICS Gel Kayano 32 today, went up 1 size

Hoka are teeny weeny. I'm a UK 5.5, I run in a 6-6.5 depending on the brand. With Hoka I have to size up to a 6.5 for day to day wear and a 7 for running. I couldn't even get my foot in the size 6 Rincon I bought before discovering this issue!

I am a definitely size 5 but I bought a 6 in Hoka Bondi 8s and they fit perfectly.

I go up a size for running, probably wouldn’t just for day to day use.

I’m intrigued what’s with running and bigger sizes? (I’m not a runner!) I’d have thought they’d slip off if too big? (I’m going to be doing lots of long distance walking so wanted something comfortable).

It’s standard to go up a size in trainers for running. Feet expand when running, especially when running long distances. Toes constantly hitting the top of the trainers will cause injury.

Ahh that makes sense! There definitely won’t be any running in these! I do a sport which has interval running but have special trainers for those.

It’s SO uncomfortable! Even in a wide fitting.

I’m usually a 4 but had to go up to a 5 in Hokas

DD is UK size 4 but went to try on in the shop and after about six different pairs ended up with Bondi 5.5. They are very comfortable for her. It’s really hard buying trainers remotely 🙁
