dirty shoes but nice fit

I love the shoes, really comfortable shoe to size. Unfortunately, they did not come in a hookah box. They came in a cardboard box The shoes came worn with the big black stain on the side of it, which was very disappointing and disgusting, Nordstrom needs to do better.

they really are terrible

I reluctantly bought these for my son for his bday and they are terrible. He really wanted this colorway and I and my husband have worn hokas for years, so I thought the other reviews couldn’t be accurate (about how poor the quality is). Turns out ITS TRUE. He has worn these for LESS THAN A MONTH and they look like they are years old. The soles don’t hold up, the front rubber toe cover is flapping and he isn’t a toe dragger. Idk I just can’t believe these are really Hokas. I think they are dupes and we are suckers. Do not buy.

Great fit and price

My first pair of Hokas. Love the price. Didn’t realize they were kids shoes until I got home. Great fit so now I know I can wear kids Hokas.

rubber peeling off already

The rubber on the sole is peeling off after maybe 6 weeks of use. Terrible for $80 pair of shoes. We buy tons of HOKAS but won’t be buying the kids’ version again

falling apart

The purchase of these shoes was at the end of August . It is the middle of November and they are falling apart. I would expect them to last longer considering the price and the name brand

Fell Apart in 2 Months

These shoes are terrible for kids. This is the 2nd pair I purchased for my son, and once again, the sole is separating from the shoe. Last pair of Hokas I will buy. Cheap product.

Soles are poor quality

Bought these for my middle school son. He thought they were very comfy but only wore them a few times before the sole started peeling off. Ended up returning them due to their defective nature. FWIW I’ve personally had 4 pairs of Hokas over the past few years and have never had issues with the adult sized ones…these quality issues seem to be isolated to this kids’ version.

Recieved a USED pair of shoes

I recieved these in a Nordstrom box (not a hooka box) and in a plastic bag. Looking at the bottoms these are obvisouly worn shoes, dirt & rocks are stuck in the tread as you can see in the photos. How are you going to sell shoes that have been used as new??? Looking at review now, not the first time Nordstrom has done this.

kid loves them

So my kid has weird feet, when he stands his feet aren’t flat or have a arch they dip inwards so most sneakers he wrecks quickly because the shoes are one two narrow and two do not fit well. These he says are comfortable and when looking at his feet they actually fit very well with the way the shoe is designed.

Comfortable Everyday Shoe

These are so comfortable and worth the buy, I bought a second pair after wearing these for a week because of how comfortable they are.
