HOKA Size Guide
Finding the right HOKA size is important for both comfort and performance.
HOKA shoes generally fit slightly smaller than shoes from many other brands. As a starting point, we recommend choosing half a size larger than your usual shoe size. For example, if you normally wear EU 38, you may prefer EU 38 2/3 in HOKA.
Use the size charts below and follow our measuring guide to find the right size.

How to Find Your HOKA Size
Measuring your feet is an easy way to find the right HOKA size. Measure both feet and use the measurement of your longer foot when choosing your size.
Tips Before Measuring
- Measure both feet, as one foot may be slightly longer than the other.
- Use the measurement of your longer foot.
- Wear the socks you normally use for running.
- If you are between two sizes, choose the larger size.
- HOKA shoes generally fit slightly smaller than shoes from other brands, so we recommend starting with half a size larger than your usual shoe size.
How to Measure Your Feet
- Place a ruler or measuring tape on the floor with the end directly against a wall.
- Stand with your heel against the wall while wearing your running socks.
- Measure the distance from the back of your heel to the tip of your longest toe.
- Repeat the process with your other foot.
- Use the measurement of your longer foot.
- Compare your foot length in centimeters with the HOKA size chart above to find your size.
HOKA Wide
Some HOKA models are available in Wide versions. These models provide additional room in the upper and can be a good option if you have wider feet or prefer a roomier fit.
HOKA Wide models are marked with "Wide" in the product name and provide approximately 3–4 mm of additional width in the upper.
HOKA Models That May Fit Differently
Most HOKA models have a similar fit in terms of length, but there are some exceptions. The following models may feel smaller than the standard HOKA fit:
- HOKA Bondi SR
- HOKA Mach 6 and Mach 7
- HOKA Cielo X1 2.0 and 3.0
- HOKA Speedgoat 7
- HOKA Tecton X 3 and Tecton X 4
- HOKA Rocket X 3
- HOKA Skyward X 2
- HOKA Mach X 3
- HOKA models with GORE-TEX, except Challenger 8 GTX
- HOKA Lifestyle models
New to HOKA? For the models listed above, consider choosing one full size larger than your usual shoe size.
Already wearing HOKA? For the models listed above, consider choosing half a size larger than your usual HOKA size.
Women's Models That May Fit Larger
Some women's HOKA models may feel larger than the typical HOKA fit. For the following models, we recommend choosing your usual shoe size rather than sizing up:
- HOKA Women's Clifton 10
- HOKA Women's Arahi 8
- HOKA Women's Arahi SR
- HOKA Women's Challenger 8
Finding the Right HOKA Fit
Your running shoes should feel secure around the heel and midfoot while giving your toes enough room to move comfortably.
Remember that the size chart is a guide. The ideal size can vary depending on your foot shape, the socks you wear and the HOKA model you choose.
If you are new to HOKA, start by measuring both feet and comparing the measurement of your longer foot with the size chart above.
