Key Features & Benefits

Plantar Relief: Deep foam stack absorbs hard floor vibration and protects plantar fascia from static compression strain.
Swell-Accommodating Upper: Breathable mesh upper flexes to accept natural foot expansion over an 8-to-12-hour workday.

Sizing & Fit Advice

Runs True to Size (TTS). The toe box offers a standard plush fit; if you wear thick work or compression socks, choosing half a size up is recommended.

How to Find Your Size (Step-by-Step Guide)

1. Setup: Place a plain sheet of paper on a hard floor, flushed against a flat wall. 2. Position: Stand on the paper with your heel resting gently against the wall (wearing your preferred running/athletic socks). 3. Mark: Mark the furthest point of your longest toe on the paper with a pencil. 4. Measure: Measure the distance from the edge of the paper (wall) to your mark in Centimeters (CM).
Recommended Fitting Margin:
Casual / Everyday Wear: Add +0.5 cm to your measured foot length.
Performance Running / Trail: Add +0.5 cm to +1.0 cm for comfortable movement and natural toe splay over long distances.

Hoka Signature Fit & Characteristics

Fractional EU Sizing System: Hoka utilizes fractional European sizing (e.g., EU 40 2/3, EU 41 1/3, EU 42 2/3, EU 44 2/3). Always rely on your foot measurement in CM for exact sizing match.
Max-Cushioning & Active Foot Frame: Designed with maximalist midsole cushioning and a Meta-Rocker profile, Hoka shoes cradle the heel and midfoot securely while promoting a smooth, rolling stride.
