A terribly sad experience.

I arranged a warranty return with HOKA, and they organised the DPD collection themselves. I handed my parcel to the driver in person at my door on 24 April, within the agreed collection window, and was given a physical receipt at the point of collection.

Despite this, HOKA refused my refund, claiming DPD have no record of the parcel entering their network. When I pushed back with evidence, including the receipt the driver gave me, they then changed their story and claimed the collection on 24 April failed, and that a second attempt on 27 April also failed with "nothing to collect."

The screenshot they sent me as proof of the 27 April attempt shows a different location entirely. I do not live there and never have. This means the record HOKA are relying on to refuse my refund does not even match my address.

I have provided extensive evidence throughout this process, including written confirmation HOKA arranged the collection, the physical receipt handed to me by the driver, and now an obvious discrepancy in their own courier's records. Despite this, HOKA continue to refuse my refund and have failed to properly investigate the inconsistencies in their own evidence.

As a long-standing loyal customer, my family are too, I am extremely disappointed by how this has been handled. I did everything asked of me, yet I am being held responsible for failures in HOKA and DPD's own systems. I would urge anyone considering a warranty return with HOKA to keep detailed records of everything, as you may need to fight hard to get what you are owed. We have been very put off purchasing again by this whole situation.

Punishment from hell

During the first part of the day, they are comfortable, but during the second part of that same day they feel like a punishment sent straight from hell. I've had my boots now for 5 years. They are surely durable - not a single thing has torn or fallen off. I do a lot of hiking. I wanted to wait with this review until I'd had enough experience with the boots to leave a fair review. At the beginning i was hoping i hadnt worn them in yet, and that soon they'll stop giving me excruciating pain. I was wrong. I've now had them more than long enough to know this isnt going to change. I will be buying myself a new pair of boots (not Hoka obviously) but I'm afraid of how to find a pair that won't give me the same problem. My Hokas too feel absolutely fine for the first few hours. And then the chafing starts, and the blisters, and this ruins my hikes because by the end of them i hate everything. They essentially debilitate me in a bad bad way. Its like a dream to get out of them at the end of the day and get into my flipflops. Then i have to nurse my feet for a week. Absolutely awful.

Hi Veronika,

I'm truly sorry to hear that your boots have caused you such discomfort and pain, especially after five years of use. It's clear these boots have not met your expectations for long-term comfort on your hikes, and we understand how frustrating it must be to experience chafing and blisters after only a few hours. I have passed this feedback on to our team and someone will be in touch to assist further.

Kind regards,
Mia

Worst experience highly not recommended

I still can't collect the parcel. track the parcel stated the parcel arrived collection point which was a post office. But Post Office staff said they didn't received any parcel from DPD. awful experience.

when I checked the 2nd email from HOKA in detail. it mentioned 'I will receive an email once the package has been delivered and is ready for collection, along with details on how to collect'

no such 'method of collection' email from HOKA, and also no collection email from DPD.

Don't know why HOKA parcel deliver by DPD which worst reputation in the delivery industry.

sent 2 emails to customerservicesuk@ hoka.com, no reply and response at all.

Hi Ricky Tang,

I am very sorry to hear about the trouble you've experienced with your parcel delivery and the lack of communication. It's concerning that the tracking information and the post office staff are not aligned, and that you haven't received the necessary collection details. We have passed this onto our customer service team and they will be in touch shortly.

Hoka sent me the wrong item

Hoka sent me the wrong item. I returned a pair of size 9 Clifton shoes in extra wide with the form filled in asking for an exchange and a pair of size 9s in wide (not extra wide). But they sent me another pair of extra wides. Very frustrating.

NO HOKA SR BONDI

I absolutely love the Hoka brands,I own 2 pairs white and black. Unfortunately I recently purchased a black slip resistant Hoka Sr Bondi and the inside is hard as a brick. My feet was killing me, totally no cushion whatsoever. I have to buy some insoles for comfort.

Awful company

Awful company. Just signed up for Hoka's 10% first purchase discount and the code they sent is not valid (despite the item being a full price item), what a joke....

As a reply to Hoka's reply below on June 28 for full transparency:
You have not sent me a request asking for more information as per your statement Sue. Additionally the code that you sent for signing up is still not valid/working....at this rate the rating goes down even further from the 1 star already given.

Military and veterans look elsewhere

I need a pair of supportive, running/walking shoes as I have severely pronated ankles. In my research, I found that most people recommended the HOKA Gaviota 6 as the best combination of support and comfort. And compared to most supportive shoes on the market, they looked the best. They are very expensive, but I was glad to see they had a link to ID.me, where I assumed I could get a discount as a veteran. That was not the case. They offer a discount to nurses and other medical professionals, first responders, teachers, and students. They do not offer a discount to military or veterans. I even reached out to customer service, but while appearing empathetic, they offered no solution other than to watch for specials. This is an American company, and it's sad they can't support the men and women who served to give them the right to deny us a discount. I will wear ugly shoes before I support a company that won't support its military.
