I’m not a runner but I purchased these due to over pronation. They have a moderate stability platform. They have replaced my crocs which offered zero help for my over pronation. Best decision I’ve made in a while.
Awesome! I’m so glad they are working for you. Have a great day and stay safe and thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment. I really appreciate it!
I have the original and they are worth every penny to me as a marathon and ultra runner. I appreciate the comparison with v3. Sorry to hear about your injury, but glad to hear you are running again!
I have 2 pair of the originals, one for inside and one for outside. Can't recommend them enough. I inspect my AF V1 and my Tempo Next% before and after every run, since I'm paranoid about the air unit integrity. Rest up and get well Tim!
Hi Tim. I wish I would have done that before that tempo run. Live and learn I guess. I will be doing that from e on for sure…lol. Have a great weekend and stay safe!
My Nike Air also leaked. I cant even use them to mow the lawn because one shoe is higher than the other. Squeak squeak The length difference could also be from leaving your slides outdoors. The Sun or hot car will shrink slides and shoes over time.
I do have the original ones and wear them everyday at home and I was just talking about these new slides with my wife as a possible gift for Father’s Day. Thanks for review and Hope you are recovering well.
Hi Tim, i got 2 pairs of the OGs version for 35€ and they still great...60$ or 60€ is à bit expensive i think for these kind of sandals...great video 👏👋🇫🇷
Bought em (v3), and couldn’t be happier. They provide stability, support and enough cushion without being squishy (when you really don’t need it in order to recover). They really help with ergonomics, every day at home and not just post-run. These are more cushioned that v2, definitely try v3. Tim is spot on with the ankle twisting avoidance.
I'm glad you are enjoying yours as well. These have been my go to Slides since I got them. Love them. Have a great day and thanks for sharing your experience in them!
Hi, I bought them, they really support my arch so well and I'm in love with them, I was looking for something similar in shoe, which offers the same kind of arch support and comfort for running and walking, can you please suggest to me the best one?
I also have the originals . Those v3s , concerned about the lip at the heel…. If you have an Achilles tendon or pain at the bottom of rear ankle that lip could make it worse. Prefer the originals . Why change them?! 😢
Hey Daniel. They are both great. Oofos is a little softer while the Hoka have more arch support. I’ve been dealing with tendinitis and I like the Hoka because of the additional support. Have a great day.
Ciao,ho acquistato CIABATTE HOKA ORA RECOVERY SLIDE 2 e le ho usate la scorsa estate x 2 mesi agosto e settembre.La suola esterna mi si è consumata e i piedi sono inclinati verso l'esterno.La suola interna è 3 cm quella esterna 2 cm.E proprio la suola in EVA che è troppo morbida ? Tutte le suole in EVA sono così morbide anche di altre marche avrei lo stesso problema con le HOKA ORA RECOVERY SLIDE 3 ? Grazie per la risposta .
"Absolutely love these kicks! Got them here in Australia. We love our slides here, and they **are** super comfortable-so much so, that I ordered a second pair as a backup, just in case. Great review, mate. Cheers! 🇦🇺" Btw, I’m a size 13, however I chose to drop a full size: 12. Perfect fit!
I tend to wear Oofos around my home and the Hoka when I'm headed out the door. Both are very comfortable. The Oofos do feel softer but have a little less for arch support. Have a great day!
My theory is that these ultra cushion, super squish, mega soft Styrofoam foodbeds _ackshually_ cause injury because the foot nothing to push off against and result in problems like weak muscles, neuropathy, balance and gait issues.
Thank you for the video, Tim. This really helped with my purchase. I recently got the Hoka Ora Recovery Slide 3 in grey and they’re superior in stability, cushioning and support, the best recovery slides ever imo. Love how they feel underfoot and feel great esp while shuffling around the house, running errands or standing for hours on the hardwood floor. I’d highly recommend sizing down one full good size for a comfy snug fit as they run a bit large.
I used to wear the original version of those slides. Well, as you may already know, since I got my 5th foot bone repair surgery 7 months ago, I've been faithfully wearing highly cushioned NB More V4 even at home. Maybe I neex to think about trying these slides after my daily runnings. Thanks for the info, Tim. I do hope you don't have any more pain. 🙏🙏
Hi Jean. I hope your recovery is going well. How are you feeling? I just ordered a pair of the More V4. I love the V3 so I thought I’d give ‘em a go. You might also like OoFos. They are softer than Hoka. I’ve been wearing Hoka mostly for the additional arch support. Have a great weekend Jean.
@Run Tall with Tim Thank goodness that I've been feeling pretty well except for a teeny tiny bit of numbness on top of my right foot after surgery. Doc says numbness is the very last thing that goes away after foot bone surgery. 😑😑 At any rate, I am grateful that I was able to resume my daily running just in a couple of months after the surgery. Thank you for the information about the comfy slides, Tim. I'll try them soon. As for the NB More V 4, I bet you'll like the cushy ride on your easy, long run days. Some might argue the shoes are a bit too clunky, but that's the point of these high stacked shoes, which will support ans protect your arches. I like these shoes wsy more than Asics Nimbus 25. 😅
I’d go with the 8. I went true to size in my running shoes and they fit me great. Have fun shopping. Enjoy your new slides. Have a great day. Stay safe.
First of all, best wishes for your recovery from injury. I see you started running again so you are making progress. As for the slides, I have the original and I predominantly use them in the gym locker room as they go into shower well. I can rinse and dry them using the hand dryer before putting them back in my gym bag. Something entirely made of cheap EVA foam should not cost $60. I bought them for $37.50. I have the Amber/Coral colorway of original which is pretty cool. I also personally think OG (at least mine) looks better than v3. If I were to buy another recovery product, I would try HOKA Recovery Flips instead. IMHO, they look better and are less bulky to pack for a trip. As you said they do have significant arch support and perhaps a bit too much for me. As for recovery, I don't think they really speed up recovery but are comfortable to wear. I personally prefer wearing a cushioned shoe indoors instead.
Hi Tolunay. I agree with you on the cost. I’m sure they don’t have that much into them to justify the price tag. Fortunately they do hold up well. How are you doing these days? Do you have any races coming up?
@@RunTall Hey Tim, I was in South Africa for two weeks. The first week I was around Kruger National park and didn't run at all. With so much wild animals roaming in the area it was not safe and our program was loaded anyway. The second week I was around Cape Town. It is a beautiful place with lots of hiking and running routes. I ran twice along the marina, shore and hiked several times. Most notably Table Top mountains and Lion's head has magnificent views of the city and the ocean. I highly recommend it if you get a chance. The downside is the 16h flight between SA and USA. Right now I have a local HM at the end of the year and this time around I am also doing a HM in Houston. I will spend my summer gradually building my fitness. After my injury and this vacation, I feel like I lost a lot of fitness so there is some base build-up needed. I might pick up some other races for fall/winter but nothing is certain other than two races mentioned (oh well, the Turkey Trot as well).
I’m not a runner but I purchased these due to over pronation. They have a moderate stability platform. They have replaced my crocs which offered zero help for my over pronation. Best decision I’ve made in a while.
Awesome! I’m so glad they are working for you. Have a great day and stay safe and thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment. I really appreciate it!
I wear the originals as house sandals every day…extremely comfortable and supportive.
Awesome. I am glad you are enjoying them. They work well as house sandals. Have a great day!
I have the original and they are worth every penny to me as a marathon and ultra runner. I appreciate the comparison with v3. Sorry to hear about your injury, but glad to hear you are running again!

Hi Doug. I’m glad you are enjoying them and Father’s Day is coming soon 😀. Have a great weekend and stay safe!
I have the original ones strictly for indoor use. Love em!
Awesome. I'm glad you are enjoying them. Have a great weekend. Stay safe!
Love these the originals and the luxes, definitely gotta try the v3’s now, great video tim
Thanks for sharing. I was thinking about picking up the luxes to try out and review. Have a great day!
Gonna get a pair of these for a thru hike coming up this spring, will double up as river crossing shoes as well as evening recovery around camp.
They will be great for that! Have a great day and stay safe.
I ended up going a size down after trying them on in store. Podiatrist Recommended these for recovery to my broken and sprained ankles
Oh gosh sorry to hear about your broken ankle. That's rough. I hope you are doing okay! Thanks for taking the time to share. Have a great day.
Hi Tim, i got 2 pairs of the OGs version for 35€ and they still great...60$ or 60€ is à bit expensive i think for these kind of sandals...great video 👏👋🇫🇷

Absolutely. If you've got something that's working well for you there is no need to change it up. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Stay safe.
I see you have the gray color,for some reason they run bigger than the others.
Hey! Great video, hope you're recovering well. I am color blind and was wondering if these are the "Grey/Grey" color-way. Thank you!
Yes they are! And thanks for your kind comment. Have a great day.
What's the heel drop and total heel height in both? Apologies if I missed this in the video
The drop is 6mm and I don't have a stack height on the foam but it is a Plush midsole. Thanks for the question and have a great day.
Hi. How would you compare these with the oofos slides? Which would you recommend more?
Hey Daniel. They are both great. Oofos is a little softer while the Hoka have more arch support. I’ve been dealing with tendinitis and I like the Hoka because of the additional support. Have a great day.
Oofos are like marshmallows by comparison and have no energy return.

Thank you so much for the video! So if I’m a 8.5 in running shoes, should I go for the size 8?
I think you'd be safe to go down a half size. Have a great day and stay safe!
@@RunTall thank you! Have a good one 🏃
both shoes brand new, which ones would you be taller in??
The V3 is taller and I can use the extra height….lol!
Recover? Can you just wear for going out shopping? Taking walks?
Yes. They fit like a flip flop so definitely more summer wear but yes. I wear mine to run errands all of the time! Have a great day. Stay safe.
Can i use them for recovery runs?
You can use them after your run to recover. They are super comfy to walk around in. Love them. Have a great day and thanks for watching.
@RunTall yeah thanks so much for details! Since the name says "recovery" I thought it means I can use them for recovery XD
Sorry Tim but that slide is not visually appealing. I'll stick with the original Hoka sandals.
I get that. I want to try their shoe but $90 is a lot. I’ll have to save up for those…lol. Have a great weekend!
@@RunTall Cheers Tim, you as well.
Look at the Hoka Ora Luxe slide more appealing !
I just ordered them yesterday 😀
😊😊
Can you wear these barefoot as well?
Yes absolutely. I wear mine barefoot all the time. Thanks for the question. Have a great day. Stay safe.
"Absolutely love these kicks! Got them here in Australia. We love our slides here, and they **are** super comfortable-so much so, that I ordered a second pair as a backup, just in case.

Glad you like them! Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Stay safe!
@@RunTall Same to you and fam. Cheers mate!
wanna try these so bad
They are nice! Thanks for watching and have a great day.
I have a question- do these have a significant arch support? . I have a moderate to severe pronation. Thanks
Yes they do. I also suffer from severe pronation and they work well for me. I hope this helps. Have a great day.
I like the 2s the 3 have this lip at my heal I dont like
Hi David. I get that. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with them both. Have a great day and stay safe.
The 3’s are far more comfortable than 2’s for me.
Do you like these better than the oofos?
I tend to wear Oofos around my home and the Hoka when I'm headed out the door. Both are very comfortable. The Oofos do feel softer but have a little less for arch support. Have a great day!
Awesome review sir! Thank you!
Glad you liked it! Have a great day. Stay safe!
My theory is that these ultra cushion, super squish, mega soft Styrofoam foodbeds _ackshually_ cause injury because the foot nothing to push off against and result in problems like weak muscles, neuropathy, balance and gait issues.
Hey thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. Have a great day and stay safe!

Can you review the hoka ora luxe?
Hey Nazzor. I was just looking at them. I am definitely interested in picking them up to use and review. Thanks for the suggestion!
Im a women and I don’t know which size to purchase. Im between a women’s 7.5-8 but mostly 8
I’d go with the 8. I went true to size in my running shoes and they fit me great. Have fun shopping. Enjoy your new slides. Have a great day. Stay safe.
Thanks for the review. Would be nice if you could review the Ora slide from them.... oh, I see that on the right side of this video. Good work, man.
Hey thanks. No problem. I love my Recovery Slides. These are some of my favorites. Have a great day.
