HOKA Kawana
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.

Shoe’s you can depend on
This is my fifth pair of hokas. I wear them to walk 3 miles a day and have no complaints. I will continue to buy them as comfort is my number 1 rule when buying shoes. Fleet feet has a great website but I also love going in the Newport store because they are so friendly and knowledgeable.
Nice stable running shoe
Love these shoes. Have put in many miles over the last few years. Finally time to get a new pair and I'll be sticking with Kawanas again. I have a history of spraining my ankles so I like that these have extra stability on the sides to help prevent rolling.
Painless work-outs
I've been using my Kawana's since May treadmill and weight-lifting. No more knee hip or lower back pain! I train 4-5 days a week.
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!
Love my new shoes
I love my shoes and how quick they were able to deliver it to me. My feet were hurting at work each day and I needed them fast. Your shoes were here quickly and my feet don't hurt anymore. Thanks well the opposite conclusion I take away
