Do Hokas Run True To Size?
As Hoka specialise in running shoes, their sizing is generally consistent. As a rule, Hokas run true to size for running shoes.
However, if you usually buy half a size up in running shoes when compared to casual shoes, you may find that this results in a better fit for running.
To get the best size for you, always measure your feet and work out your size using an official sizing chart, like the one above.

Hoka Shoe Sizing vs Other Popular Brands
When compared to other brands, Hoka sizing is similar to New Balance, Brooks or Asics. If you usually wear Nike or Adidas running shoes, you will find differences in the sizing.
Men should go a full size down from their Nike or Adidas sizing and women are recommended to go half a size down. E.g. if you are a woman that wears a size 6.5 in Adidas, you will need a 6 in Hokas.
