Features
Breaking the mold with a lively new foam, the HOKA Kawana earns its name from the Gold Coast’s famous beach break.
The Kawana continues to push the boundaries of HOKA foams and geometries, settling itself nicely in between the Clifton and Bondi as a maximally cushioned neutral training shoe. Designed to create endlessly smooth heel strikes, the SwallowTail™ geometry of the extended crash pad will immediately grab your eye. Then, HOKA’s early-stage Meta-Rocker guides you through your gait cycle like a rocking chair to give you a fulcrum effect through toe-off.
HOKA uses an all-new CMEVA foam in the Kawana midsole that's built to give you lasting support. This playful new cushioning gives the shoe a firmer, more responsive ride and solid rebound that doesn’t feel too soft underneath you.
Our reviews liked the smooth, springy, semi-firm ride and comfortable fit in our HOKA ONE ONE Kawana review.
The result is an accessible daily trainer with a well-balanced ride and maximal HOKA comfort that can hold up to any pace.

What's New
HOKA introduced a new geometry and midsole foam in the Kawana. The extended SwallowTail heel and crash pad is designed to reduce landing impact for a smooth glide with each step. The lively and responsive CMEVA foam gives you support that lasts for hundreds of miles while being firm enough to push the pace.
Who It's Best For
Why You'll Love It
You’ll love HOKA’s signature cushion and playful ride in the lively Kawana. However, this isn’t some clunky maximalist shoe—the HOKA Kawana feels like you're gliding through your run thanks to an early stage Meta-Rocker that gives you a smooth transition from heel-strike to toe-off.

Hoka Kawana
I'm not a runner. Bought this pair of shoes for working 10 hrs a day, on concrete. The aggressive sole is needed, I will wear out the bottoms of shoes in less than 3 months. I also needed a light weight fabric for the shoe tops. Where I work is not air conditioned, my feet need all the ventilation they can get. So far, they are working well.
Beautiful tennis shoes
This is a beautiful tennis shoe. I love the quality, texture and most of the variety of colors.
Loved, but need in a wide
I loved the shoe, but I need it in a wide, which they don't come in. If you wear normal size shoes, this is definitely worth looking at.
Best shoes ever!!
My HOKAs are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. My husband purchased a pair, then got a second pair, then I got a second pair.
Great!
Love these shoes! They are perfect for my HIIT workouts!
