Buy the Hoka one! I love these sneakers! I only wish that Zappos had more of a selection for women.

I have had foot, knee and ankle problems since high school, 35 years ago. I went to a running store and after having my feet videotaped on a treadmill wearing at least 6 different pairs of shoes, the staff recommended these marshmallow shoes that I eyed when I first entered the store. I have been wearing Hoka Bondi B's for over a year, and absolutely love them. I don't expect to every run a long distance, but I can (and do) walk 8-10 miles in these, and not feel any pain!

My great toe joint is locked due to arthritis, my doctor suggested Hoka One One, these are the best sneakers I have ever worn, my feet do not hurt any more when I walk, and I am a nurse so I walk a lot.

I was worried about these fitting correctly, but a friend of mine said hers were true to size, and I'm glad I trusted her: I have a very wide foot and was worried, but the 9.5 (sometimes I'm a 9 purely because of width go up a half size). It fits perfectly, and is actually maybe even a little big. The shock absorption is phenomenal: I got these and the trail shoe since I'm recovering from plantar fasciitis and need a really supportive shoe to keep it healing. When on my feet all day as a waitress, I'm almost always sore, but these make a huge difference. They look a little dorky/funny, like Shapeups, and you might accidentally step on a foot or two (be careful around people with sandals!) but once you're used to them, it's great. Highly recommend to anyone who's on their feet a lot or has a heavy footfall -- really incredibly bouncy. I also go trail running for real in my other Hokas and all my ultrarunner friends swear by them, and they're definitely great for "real" use as well as casual, just by the way.

I first ordered a size 10 (way too big), a nine was better but my foot kept inching up because the front straps were too wide and too far back. Disappointing.
