Hoka

I came back, totally different experience. Very good, one of the managers helped me... did the foot machine analysis. It came out that the shoe I received from my son is the right one, just need biggerLanny was great. I'll be back tomorrow with the shoes and exchange them

The name "HOKA" originates from the Maori language, meaning "to fly over the earth." Originating from the French Alps in 2009. This is a pop-up store located at the Ala Moana mall, next to Tesla. I've heard it's supposed to be one of the most comfortable shoes out there. Podiatrists tend to recommend Hokas for footwear. There is a foot scanner located on the right side near the shoes, helping you figure out the best choices for your foot type and style.Try on multiple styles till you find one that you genuinely like. Each style is going to be a different size, as that was my experience. Some were a half size smaller or half size bigger. The customer service from Rose was excellent. She gave very good recommendations for my flat foot/plantar fasciitis issues, as she suffers from the same problems as me. I ended up getting the lifestyle shoes since I mainly needed casual walking shoes. I love going on sunset walks everyday. I've owned this pair for 3 months now, and I no longer have sore feet when I do long distances. I am a HOKA converter now!Pricey, but worth it in the long run. I see it as an investment in my health. Especially if you stand or walk a lot.A BIG PLUS is they allow you to try the shoes and you can return no questions asked within 30 days, or 60 days if you become a member, it's free. So no harm to try it out. One of the reasons I decide to purchase since I had the freedom to return or exchange if needed.Highly recommend!

I had an amazing experience at the Hoka store at the Ala Moana Center, thanks to Divine. I approached her and explained that I had purchased Hokas in the past but had difficulty finding them comfortable, as they hurt my feet quite a bit. I asked for her recommendations on shoes that would be best for my feet.She then showed me a machine that scans your feet while you stand on it. This machine provides your size, foot type, and recommendations for suitable shoes. After chatting for a while, she educated me on different types of shoes and which ones would be best for my needs. She was so fun to talk to and I felt seen! Best customer service ever. I ended up purchasing the Mach 6 in beige. I wore them for the rest of my trip in Waikiki and continued to use them once I returned to San Francisco. They are absolutely great shoes (feet don't hurt from excessive walking anymore) and I'm so grateful that Divine helped me find the perfect pair!

The first time I heard of this brand was from my sister. She said it was comfortable and the brand was recommended by her doctor for work. I didn't think much of them till I was looking for new shoes for my dad. We went to several places to look but nothing caught his eye or the shoes weren't very comfortable. My sister's work shoes came to mind so I suggested we go to check out Hoka in Ala Moana Center. He was open to the idea and we went in to see what they had to offer. My dad wasn't sold on the aesthetic of Hoka's after looking around. I suggested checking out the other shoe store upstairs to see if they offer any other styles and possibly looking at another brand. After checking them out, we came back to Hoka and tried out the style he liked best. There were several sales associates and we were helped immediately after we flagged someone down. Everyone was friendly and informative. Unfortunately, they didn't have his size available for my dad's top choice. The sales associate suggested we order online and to sign up for their free membership to get free shipping. She stayed with us while I went to their site on my phone. It turns out the shoes were on back order online. We ended up going with his second choice because they had his size in stock. It was the same style of the Clifton 9's but instead of all black, we got the black with some white. The shoes were light, comfortable and inexpensive. It was $15 less than the other shoe store upstairs so that worked out nicely. Mission accomplished on getting my dad some new shoes. I'll definitely have to come back to check them out the next time I'm in the market for shoes.

Running/walking/hiking shoes in Honolulu, Hawaii...I read reviews by my friends (Irene M. and Angel H.) and wanted to visit this Ala Moana Store for myself.Located on the Mall Level, between Tesla and Madewell... across from Tumi and Victoria's Secret, HOKA is known for their comfortable shoes. My sister wears a pair when traveling and walking far distances because her podiatrist recommended HOKA. The lady that sits in front of me at church wears HOKA - she used to walk to church on the Pali Highway from Aleea Heights! She also walked the Camino de Santiago twice with HOKA shoes!Inside of the store, I liked the way the shoes were categorized - like Children's table, Hiking shelves, and Racing area.Service was friendly! I was asked twice if I needed help. I just wanted to look at the prices... you get what you pay for!

I came into the store a few days ago to check out their shoes. My co-worker wears them and swears that they're so comfortable. Their shoes are really light. The two pairs that I was looking at were priced at $145 for the Clifton 9 and $165 for the Bondi 8.The salespeople were really helpful. They greeted me when I walked into the store. A few offered me help and explained the different types of shoes to me. I really wanted to try them on, but I was in a rush.I will be back.

One step at a time...Run, walk or just jog on over to Ala Moana Center Mall level as they have a new shop that offers footwear for every activity that we all enjoy here in Hawaii and I used to be very active in the past and have noticed Hoka wear though never really gave them a try am happy to see an shop to compare and see the options they have along with sales staff that's able to explain it all for us to understand clearly.I do have foot problems and have struggled to find that right pair more so for work as I'm constantly on my feet and have noticed the price but it looks so comfy as I browsed their huge layout with each section dedicated to the type of activity (Race, Hike, Lifestyle, Road or just Walk) along with socks, clothing and accessories finding the right choices is so essential and now with floor to wall choices of shoes that came from adventurers themselves with an idea has given us the comfort for whatever activities we have in our daily lives.Thank you!

Service was awesome! But selection is so inadequate. I ended up buying from Hoka on line! They don't have all sizes or colors. I'd have been better off going to Runners World or another retailer. Salesperson did however size me correctly for the shoes I wanted and ordered .

Finally we have a Hoka shoes store on the island, I have been buying Hoka shoes ever since they launched and I went through many many pairs of running shoes, even the web site offer 30 days money back if I do not like the shoes, it is still always better I can go to the store to try out difference models and sizes. I do want to say their shoes is nice but it does not last too long, 400 to 500 miles is the max. The service is good and the sales team are helpful. They told me if I am a member, which mean if I have an account with email with Hoka, I can try the shoes for 60 day and return if I do not like it. They also have hiking shoes, walking shoes, I will be back I a month when I ready for a new shoes.

I'm a Hoka addict and buying their shoes online can be frustrating when you wear a 10.5 wide in the color I want. I had great service and got exactly what I wanted and was in and out of the store quickly. The shoes are worth the price to not have pinched toes and a wide foot box.
