How it ranks
The HOKA Kawana’s rating is an early estimate. We’ve collected 4 runner reviews so far, with brand history and external ratings also informing the score.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence is low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

5/5
Overall
Loved these shoes and would purchase again. The cushioning isn't over the top like other Hoka shoes and they lasted many miles. They are easy on the joints, as someone with knee issues this was an important factor for me.

Overall
Shoe fits my foot as good as any shoe I've ever had. Snug from heel through the arch, but open enough in the toe box that my feet don't feel pinched. Also love the rocker technology...such a natural heel-to-toe transition.
