I have experienced on two separate pairs of HOKA shoes. Both pairs developed tears on the sides after limited use, which I believe is indicative of a potential defect or design flaw. Given the premium price point and reputation of HOKA, I did not expect such issues to occur, especially on multiple pairs.Upon noticing these defects, I reached out to your customer service team, expecting that **** would stand behind its products and address my concerns. However, I was informed that I would need to cover the shipping costs to return the shoes, which I find unreasonable considering the repeated quality issues I have encountered. I have hardly used it few times and base of one hoka is tearing.I either want refund if that is not possible then replacementInitial Complaint

I purchase a pair of Hoka Cloud 9 shoes from Dicks Sporting Goods. After six months, the tread on the shoes separated. **** has a 1-year warranty on defects. I sent in a receipt along with a warranty form authorized by **** and the shoes, which they received on August 31st. I paid to ship the shoes to **** as they do not provide any shipping coverage; they also have no way of pre-authorizing. After over a month, the shoes were returned to me, saying they were not within the 1 year. The shoes were purchased on 10/18/2023. Today is 9/21/24, so I am still within the period for which I am writing this complaint. I contacted the customer service department at ****, and they said there was no way to contact returns, and all decisions were final.Initial Complaint

Ordered a pair of Hoka shoes on August 25th of this year. Unfortunately I have ** & the shoes weren't as comfortable as I needed. I went to start the return process to find out that part of their site is down & to come back a few hours later & try again. I've been going to the website & calling them with nothing but excuses on why they can't help me. Again I just want to return my shoes to get my refund of $187 so I can actually buy a pair of shoes that don't hurt my feet. I find it hard to believe that a company that's worth 1.8 billion dollars can't get their website working properly. Now keep in mind only the portion of the Hoka site down is the return section. Of course the buying side of the site is working just fine. I imagine there are a ton of people that would probably just give up at this point & end up keeping their shoes which would only benefit Hoka.Initial Complaint

On July 2024 I placed a order for 5 pairs of Hoka shoes due to having plantar fasciitis and pes planus through Affirm. When I received them I tried them on and they were all too large. I proceeded to EXCHANGE them and I printed out the exchange forms on July 8th at 3:21 pm that clearly states EXCHANGE and Not Return. The shoes I requested for exchange were available at the time of request as the website will not allow you to request/purchase an unavailable product.The warehouse did not even try to look for the correct shoes they just processed a return with out my consent. I could have requested alternate shoes if they weren't available. This is very disrespectful of my time and MY PAIN. I AM A DISALBED NAVY VET AND I DESERVE MORE RESPECT THAN THIS. THE PAYMENT HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED. I was not old that the purchase would be returned, I was not called emailed or had a letter written stating that I needed to request throught the exchange process the same shoes, this is unacceptable. There incompetence will not allow my feet to stop hurting. I still without the shoes and now I don't trust the company to do what is RIGHT for the consumer.Initial Complaint

On Wednesday, March 20th, 2024, at approximately 9:00 p.m. eastern time, I made a purchase from Hoka.com. The purchase was a pair of tennis shoes. I immediately reached out to customer service following the placement of the order upon seeing an incorrect address in the order confirmation email. Despite the facts that:* The order was placed while the business was closed, AND * I contacted HOKA customer service immediately the following morning, AND * The order has NOT shipped from their warehouse The merchant is refusing to cancel the order even though they know the address on the order is incorrect.In 2024, **** has refused to make the necessary updates to their ordering process to allow them to make ANY changes to an order after it has been placed.This means that the burden falls on HOKA customers to attempt coordinating with 3rd party carriers to mitigate errors in shipping addresses AND for cancelations.It is absolutely ludicrous to refuse to cancel an order that has not left the warehouse yet AND will not be picked up for several hours.Initial Complaint

I ordered a pair of shoes. I decided I didn't want them. I don't like the way they fit. I asked what I needed to do to return them. I followed the instructions. And paid to mail them. They sent them back with a letter saying that they weren't authentic ****. I ordered *****. The whole thing is ridiculous. The supervisor then said to send pictures which I did today but now they say they are only chatting, texting, etc but haven't given me a number to text them at. I am getting the run around.Initial Complaint

I purchased 2 separate purchases online May 9, 2023. Microsoft Edge added a discount code to get the best price and I confirmed the purchase for both separate puchases (both times). I bought a Bondi 8 size 7 and received a confirmation number ********** for the price of $61.94 (original cost $165) and also bought a Arahi 6 size 7 receiving the confirmation number ********** for the price of $ 52.55 (original cost $140). I received both confirmations of purchase to my email and the money was set to be withdrawn by Hoka from my checking account (purchased with visa). I went online on May 10th to chat with a customer service rep and ask when I would be receiving the shoes as they were for Mother's day gifts. The online chat person told me that my orders were cancelled due to something wrong with my card (through ******* and referred me to call their customer service directly (866-491-3125). I called and was put on hold a few times. In the process I called my bank and my bank said there was nothing wrong with my card and the charges were reversed basically for an unknown reason. I had plenty of money in my account and all that was on my confirmation notice was correct for charges. The service person told me I had to go back online to order the shoes. I tried during the times she was putting me on hold and the discount codes were gone so I would have to pay full price if i placed the order again. I verified with her that my card and account were all correct and nothing should have caused them to cancel my orders. While I was talking to her I received 2 emails that my orders were cancelled. I explained to her that I was unable to get the prices and that it was not right for them to cancel she continued to tell me that she could not place the order online with me for those prices and that I would have to call Microsoft Edge to get the discount codes. She finally put her Supervisor on the phone with me who did nothing but say he was sorry and he could not give me the discount and I would have to call Microsoft Edge. He did not want to give me the prices that the system gave to me all of which was not my fault. I did nothing wrong, but they will not give me the shoes for the prices their system generated to me and sent confirmation for! They should honor the price that was confirmed for both shoes via the system and what was going to be taken from my account. I believe that something was wrong on their end and a mistake was made and they did not want to honor what discount it gave to me. They would not tell me that, they just continued to say to place the order again, in which case I could not get the discount again. I feel they need to give me the price that was given online and honor that business transaction for both pairs of shoes.Initial Complaint

I placed an online order on November 13th. On November 17th I called the company to attain my tracking number . The Hoka representative said she could not find my order and that I could call my credit card company, ask the credit card company to reverse the charges (as the charges are still showing up) and then place the order again. I explained that the order was a special, was not available any longer on the website and that I would not be able to place the same order. I asked for my case to be elevated to someone else so that my order could be fixed. The representative stated that even if it was elevated it would be my fault so they would not be able to do anything. I asked her what was my fault and she said that I put the information in incorrectly. I asked her if she had any proof since she could not find the order and she stated that it was still my fault. She then hung up on me.Initial Complaint
