how to select size from amazon

[@sizzlechestmcmurphy4365]

I just ordered a pair of these online to replace my Nike Benassi slides. I wanted an all rubber/foam slide to prevent any sort of fungus growth. The cushioning and support these give are perfect for me since I destroyed my leg and foot in a motorcycle accident. Ever since then, I'm constantly looking for the ultimate in comfort. Looking forward to wearing these around the house and neighborhood.

[@RunTall]

I love mine. I've been wearing them a long time now and they have held up really well. Enjoy them. Have a great day and stay safe.

[@yankaitan8648]

Hope your foot is fully recovered from the accident

[@wyattsearle2796]

I had a stress fracture and my docter told me to try them so i watched this video and I will probably get a pair

[@RunTall]

Hey Wyatt. I’m really sorry to hear about your stress fracture. I wish you a very speedy recovery. Injuries are so frustrating. I hope the Ora recovery slides work well for you. I’m still using mine. I did just order version 3 to review on the channel. Have a great day.

[@seanicusvideo]

some hardcore and medium core fitness-level family members love them and got me a pair for Christmas! Love them so far! my feet and legs and back are happy already!

[@RunTall]

That’s awesome! Mine are still going strong. I love them. Enjoy your new slides. Have a great day.

[@gtcstorm40]

Ball of my foot got inflamed last week. It has been hell. The limping has messed up my calf and knee. Today I went out and Bought Hoka Bondi shoes and can now walk almost normally. Just ordered these slippers. Thanks.

[@RunTall]

Sorry to hear about your injury. I hope these give you some relief. I wish you a speedy recovery. Have a great day.

[@MrTthacker98001]

I bought some Hoka slippers recently. My first reaction after a while was they were too firm. I had a long run and these were perfect for my tired feet afterwards. Needed something a little more firm and not too squishy.

[@RunTall]

Awesome I’m glad they are working for you. I wear mine so the time (pretty much everyday). Have a great weekend and stay safe.

[@77devera]

I got diagnosed with sesamoiditis a month ago. My podiatrist encouraged me to wear slippers at home. The only slippers I have are some flip flops and Crocs, and none of them gave me comfort. I got these Hokas and they are perfect! I can walk with almost zero pain! I was so impressed with this Hoka so I got the Hoka Clifton for my workouts!

[@RunTall]

That's awesome. I'm glad you found some relief. The Clifton is a great running shoe. Have a great Sunday. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Tim

[@DJAyAyRON]

Love these Hoka Slides! I literally just picked these about two weeks ago and wear them all the time. Very comfy!!! They are a little warm over the top of the foot, but all slides are like that.

[@RunTall]

Hey Aaron, I'm impressed with these as well. I wear them all the time now. They have been a life saver this week. I intend to keep wearing them even after my knee is better ( with any luck I'll be back running in a couple days). Thanks for taking the time to comment. Have a great day! Tim

[@DJAyAyRON]

@@RunTall Here is to a speedy recovery!!! nothing more annoying than being laid up with an injury, as I can totally relate!!!

Hi Aaron, thank you I really appreciate it. I'm getting better everyday. If you're able too get out today, have a great run! Happy Friday. Tim

I have them and I love them. I recommend ordering a size up. 😀

[@lisah5784]

Ironically, I'm buying a pair of these today 😃 I had major ankle surgery and I will be needing me surgery. During the day when I'm out and about I wear a rocker bottom shoe. Can't wait to try these and use them as my house shoe. Thanks for the video ❤

[@RunTall]

Oh goodness. I hope your surgery went well and you are on your way to a speedy recovery. I hope these work well for you. I think you choose wisely. I also like the Ofoos but they are softer in the midsole and I think the ORA Recovery will give you both the cushion and support you'll need to get your back on your feet. Let me know how they are working out for you! Thanks for watching. I appreciate it. Have a great day and Happy Holidays!

[@lisah5784]

@@RunTall Surgery went well I love the shoes and I'm starting physical therapy next week 😃❤

@LisaH5784 Oh boy! How are you doing post-surgery? I'm due for bilateral ankle and foot reconstruction one at a time... 😞 I need the slides, but I'm curious as we are in the same boat what rocker bottom shoes do you speak of? I hope you are healing up well! Any tips or tricks would be great! I have some to share if you wanna trade some!

[@scott_strool]

I have the prior model, I wear them every day, in fact I am wearing them now after my 8 mile run today.

[@RunTall]

I'm definitely a fan as well. I wear mine all the time. I got them initially because of an injury but now that I'm better I am still wearing them. Hey thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it. Have a great day and Happy Holidays!

[@cherylmorrow561]

NThanks for reviewing these! I just had knee replacement and this pain is a different creature! Someone suggested trying. They are on sale now so I'll grab a pair! THANK you for your help🦋

[@RunTall]

Hi Cheryl. First, I'm sorry to hear about your injury. I hope you get well soon. I'm sure it's frustrating. And, I hope these work well for you and can help you recover. Have a great day and stay safe.

[@rsaunders223]

How did they work for you? How’s your recovery?

[@RunTall]

Hey Robert. I've been wearing them a long time now and they work great and have held up really well. I like too wear these even when I'm not recovering from injury. When I'm having issues with my ankles or knee pain, I prefer these. If my PF is flaring up than the softer Oofos Ooahh sport slides feel great on the bottoms of my sore feet. Have a great day.

[@BrendonCamm]

Love my Hoka Recovery slides!! They may my list of gear I regret not buying sooner. I have them on pretty much all day. Hoping your injury is 100% gone soon. Have a good weekend!

[@RunTall]

Thanks Brendon. I appreciate it. I'm getting a little better each day. The Hoka Slides have helped. I'm enjoying them and like you I wish I'd bought them sooner. Thanks again. Have a great day! Tim

[@brianc1651]

Thanks. I run, but really looking at these for recovery during backpacking trips. I currently wear knock off crocs for camp shoes. It would be nice to have my feet/legs screaming less after 8 hours on trail. I work at a store that sells these. I get them discounted. I think I will try them.

[@RunTall]

Hi Brian. Let me know what you think if you do decide to pick them up. I’ve had mine a long time now and they are still holding up great! Have a great day and thanks for taking the time to share.

[@graciegjj]

I've got a pair I love them.. the first pair I had to take back and exchange for a new pair because one of them was a little off didn't match but the pair I got now are great! I forgot a well-made sandal could actually feel fun to wear I really want to wear them all the time wish I could wear them to work lol

[@RunTall]

I'm glad you like them. I do too. I've been wearing them for a long time now and they are holding up great. So comfortable. Have a great day and stay safe.

[@graciegjj]

@@RunTall thank you browsing around on your videos and comments I read where you mentioned you wear power step insoles do you still use those? I do and I love them they helped alleviate plantar fasciitis I was starting to develop I recently got a new pair and this time the high arch version which can only be found on Amazon but they're wonderful for support.

[@RunTall]

I picked mine up on Amazon as well. They were significantly less money than at my local running store. I don’t use them all the time. I used them mostly when I was going through physical therapy. They work great. I’m glad they are working so well for you! Thanks for watching and stay safe!

[@giuseppecalamita3328]

They're comfortable, yes but if you use them in summer without socks they make you sweat a lot and force you to wash them frequently otherwise the bad smell seems to "stick."

[@RunTall]

Hey thanks for sharing your experience with them. Have a great day!

[@slayemgaming]

An Old brand from India named Paragon makes these for about $3 dollars. The model name is "Paragon Anti Skid"

I have a pair of these sandals they are wonderful any time my feet bother me I slip these on and my feet feels better I also have a few pairs of the hoka tennis shoes they are amazing they are expensive but they are definitely worth it

I have had mine for over a year and wear them all the time. They are holding up amazingly well and are so comfortable. Thanks for watching. Have a great day!

[@MsLovephoto]

Have you tried the oofo's? I don't run, but do high intensity workouts and walk 10,000 steps on the trail. From your review it seems like the Hoka slides are best for ailments, and it gives support where it's needed. Also, did the Hoka's run true to size? I wear a size 11 women's, but it recommend a 10.

[@RunTall]

Hi Angelyn, no I haven't tried oofo,s. I heard that are very comfortable though. HIT workouts are challenging, nice work, that's awesome. The Hoka Slides did run true to size. They have been working well for me. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Have a great night. Tim

[@sylviagonzalez9260]

I just got my oofos yesterday. True to size n oh so comfortable. Ill be trying these next.

[@Cai32T]

thanks for the video tim!

[@RunTall]

No problem. I hope it helped. Thanks for watching. I greatly appreciate it. Have a great day and thanks again.

[@TODDENIFY]

Nice review! Do they fit true to size or do you recommend going up or down a size?

[@RunTall]

They run true to size. I wear a men’s size 9 and a running shoe and that’s what I bought in the recovery slides. They fit me really well. Thanks for watching and have a great day.

[@GottaSeeThisLah]

Thanks heaps for your terrific practical reviews. One thing would be great is if you could include the size of your regular shoes/slides and the size of the model that fitted you. I'm having to buy online as Hoka ORA Slide is not available in New Zealand. Even the other Hoka shoes are very limited here and I had to order online from another country. So, I wear a Women's US size 9.5 Gaviota 3 Wide. There's no half sizes for their slides. Should I get a size 9 or 10?

[@RunTall]

I wear a US men’s size 9 in a running shoe. These fit me perfect. I would probably go up a half a size rather than down. I hope this helps. Have a great day.

[@Thankful_n_Grateful]

Don't know if you're still monitoring this video comments section... I'm wondering if Ora Glide is better than Ora Luxe for inside house use only... I've seen statements that stack height is: 29-34mm : Ora Glide 14-18mm : Ora Luxe So it seems Ora Glide Would be better in house than Ora Luxe. Ora Luxe is better for outside use because of adjustable strap, but Luxe stack height is half stack height of Glide...

[@RunTall]

Hi S G. I love my ORA recovery slides. I've been wearing them along time now. I do wear mine both indoors and outside. They clean up easy and are very comfortable. I haven't had any issues with them at all. I haven't had the opportunity to use the ORA Luxe. My other go to Recovery Slide is from Oofos. A little softer than the ORA Recovery Slides which feels great on those days when I'm feeling pretty beat up. Have a great day and thanks for the question.

[@phantomfinn9640]

Would you recommend wearing these through amusement parks? I see they’re great for recovery, but am worried about trying them over the course of a full day on my feet.

[@RunTall]

Hi Ryan. They are comfortable but I wouldn't suggest wearing them all day at an amusement park. It sounds like you are planning a vacation. Have fun. Enjoy all the rides! Thanks for watching and have a great day!

[@ThuVo-ky1qy]

Hi, I have plantar fasciitis. I am looking for sandals that have stiff sole, semi rigid. Please suggest me which one should I pick ! Does this hoka ora still sole ?

[@RunTall]

Hi Thu Vo. I have to deal with PF and tendinitis from time to time and the Hoka Ora recovery slides work well for me. I think they will work for you also. I hope this helps. Have a great day and stay safe.

[@TheChessPlayer1956]

I see this was made some time ago, Tim. I got my Hoka sandals for the same price too but I find that their is nothing to stop them from slipping off my feet. I see you are wearing socks, is that the secret to hold them in place? I bought an old school pair of thong flip flops and they were only 99cents and seem to fill the bill with the toe insert piece. Sidenote: I have done a number of my beginner shoe reviews and I find my presentations are a bit disorganized. I really like yours and will use them as a template for mine to cover all the bases without forgetting things. Thanks Tim.

[@RunTall]

Sometimes I wear socks with these. I haven't really thought much about how they stay on my feet. Hoka does make a recovery shoe of sport slides don't work. I've been thinking about picking up a pair to review on the channel. I'm glad you like the format I use to review shoes. I'm looking forward to seeing your up coming running shoes review. Have a great day.

[@yolanda2978]

Question. I'm sure you've tried MANY brands of socks. While watching this video, my eyes shifted to your socks. What brands have you found to be comfortable; not sliding down as you walk but especially when you run?

[@RunTall]

Hi Yolanda. Lately I’ve been using Swiftwick. But I also like Balega, Paire brand, Puma Quarter, New Balance Crew. I like Feetures as well but they can feel a little too tight in the toe box at times. Thanks for the great question. Have a great day.

[@GordonAlwaySnoMoneY]

I cop these just for comfort and style. Definitely worth $50

[@Barkingspider]

Did these feel more cushioning after a week. EVA foam usually breaks in.

[@RunTall]

I haven't noticed that. They still feel pretty much the same as when I got them a few months ago. I wear them mainly around my house pretty much daily. So far so good. Hey thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great day and thanks again.

That's a great deal. It's nice to save a little cash. I hope you enjoy them! Have a great day.

[@mollyallen2400]

This is awesome to come across after watching another video on your channel today. I used to wear Okabashi sandals religiously because I overpronate and I currently have a PTTD flare-up. Do you have any familiarity with how they compare in terms of arch support? Totally spot on about being troubled to lace up tennies, especially when the dog wants to go out first thing in the morning lol

[@RunTall]

Hey thanks for watching and taking the time to ask the question. You know I haven't had any experience with the Okabashi sandals. Sorry I can't provide any insight or comparison between the two. I can say that I've had the ORA Recovery Slides for several months now and they are holding up really well. Have a great day and thanks again.

I have osteoarthritis in fingers. No pain. I'm trying to protect my knees so switched from running to bike. I walk barefoot or birkenstock. But these have made me think about cushioning. Do you recommend for my situation in the house ? Thanks 😊

[@RunTall]

I think you would really enjoy a sport slide like these. I also really like Oofos. I wear them all the time around my home. The Hoka's have a more dense arch for support and the Oofos are softer. I hope you get well soon. Have a great day. Stay safe.

[@yasminfarshad4343]

Hi Tim! I'm looking for slides for my dad who has PF and swelling in his feet, as well as arthitis on his big toe joints. He needs a shoe that has depth and is soft on the top of the shoe so its not as irritating. I'm wondering if you would recommend these slides or the oofahs, or the men's OOAHH sport flex (the one with the strap)? Thank you :)

[@RunTall]

Hi Yasmin. I hope your dad feels better soon. I'm sorry to hear that he is in pain. No I wouldn't recommend these. I suffer from PF myself from time to time and while I absolutely love the ORA Recovery Slides they are to firm for me when my PF is flaring up. If I'm recovering from a run or hard workout, these are great or when I'm having other types of pain, like knee pain, and I need something somewhat soft but with support, these are great. My go to for PF is the Oofos Ooahh Slides. They are much softer and far easier for me to walk in when I'm hurting. Having just come off a bought of PF I can say that they were a life saver for me. I hope this helps. Have a great day. Thanks for watching Happy Holidays and stay safe.

[@AdamFarrell7]

Hi, what do you prefer personally for comfort these or oofos ?

I prefer the Hoka's. They are both comfortable though. The Oofos are noticably softer but I like the firm arch support in the Hoka. Hey thanks for watching. Have a great weekend.

Hey Tim its me again! For a 200lbs, would you recommend this for daily use (I live in a tropical country)?

Which sandal has a firmer and higher arch, oofos or hoka? My left foot is flat and recovering from being pronated for so long. I'm wearing atta sandals rn, and it does the job, but it's narrow for my feet and I'm looking for one I can wear outdoors.

HOKA vs OOFOS sandals? I have OOFOS and I like them but I do feel that arch support and sometimes when I just stand in them the arch feels a little too aggressive. It’s very comfortable to walk in them though.
