In Testing

I don’t consider myself a Hoka runner usually, and so naturally I was expecting a similar sort of indifference to the Hoka Recovery Slides as well. However, having worn them for multiple days around the office, as well as at home, I have to admit they're the comfiest slippers I’d ever had. The cushioning was soft and responsive, mimicking my feet and helping me recover from any sort of activity I’d undertaken on the day.

Prior to trying these Hoka Slides, I would routinely complain about sore feet and aching knees – classic runner problems! Since these have become a staple in my daily life, all those troubles have lessened significantly, and I look forward to changing into the slides after long distances in trainers.

Verdict

If you’re someone who has even the slightest of niggling soreness in their feet or leg joints, I would unreservedly suggest including the Hoka Ora Recovery Slides into your day-to-day routine. The foot-cradling shape promotes stable movement, whilst the plush cushioning makes recovery feel like luxury.
