Hoka by far has the worst customer service department. My 3 week old pair of Hoka 9 Bondi experienced sole separation. Mind you I use the as a casual walker. They were purchased on Amazon and Hoka replied pound salt. Never again!

Very poor quality walking shoes that have fallen apart after just over a year of wear. Hoka refusing to offer any form of warranty repair or replacement which is also very poor. I would strongly advise avoiding this company and shopping elsewhere

Be very careful buying high-end Hoka…

Be very careful buying high-end Hoka shoes. I purchased a pair and wore them very infrequently. Within 10 months, the internal frame inside the fabric lining of the right heel completely collapsed inward. It is bent permanently, making the shoe incredibly painful on the heel and entirely unwearable. Meanwhile, the rest of the shoe—including the bottom tread—is in perfect condition, clearly showing it has hardly been used.
When I submitted a warranty claim with my receipt and photos showing the shoes were barely worn, Hoka's customer care denied it, claiming it was "accidental damage or misuse." Sliding your foot into a shoe is not misuse—it is standard operation. The internal structural materials simply failed to hold up.
For a premium brand that charges top dollar, their customer service and product durability are incredibly disappointing. They do not stand behind their manufacturing defects. Save your money or buy from a brand that actually honors their warranty. I have been wearing shoes from Nike, Reebok, Skechers, and Brooks, and none of them have ever had this problem. In my experience, Hoka shoes are of cheap quality and did not last very long. This will be our last purchase from Hoka. My family and I will let all our friends know to avoid these low-quality shoes, especially since they charge much more than other brands.
