Hoka Fans Say These $57 Amazon Slip-ons Look and Feel Just Like the Originals

"There's a reason why everyone from nurses to marathon runners upholds Hoka as the gold standard in comfy walking shoes. Hoka's signature curved MetaRocker sole and plush cushioning provide unparalleled comfort, whether you're standing on your feet all day or traveling miles on foot. Unfortunately, styles from this widely-loved footwear brand typically cost upwards of $150, leading many fans on a search to find more affordable alternatives that offer the same cloud-like feel."

"Allswifit Women's Slip-on Walking Shoes These under-$60 walking shoes have a similar chunky silhouette to Hoka sneakers, including a thick EVA foam platform sole that offers rebound and shock absorption. Stability is another standout feature of Hoka shoes, and these lookalikes have an X-shaped torsion plate meant to stabilize the foot and prevent any twists that could lead to injury. The mesh upper is breathable and stretchy, featuring elastic tie-free laces, allowing you to slip in and out of them without even bending over."

"One reviewer compared them to Hoka's slender Arahi road runners because of their narrower shape, adding that they also "look as expensive" as them. However, people with wide feet say the Allswifit sneaker accommodates them well, with one describing themselves as a "wide-footed Cinderella finally finding her slipper." They shared that walking in the Hoka-inspired shoe feels more like floating."
