These shoes have made a huge difference in my foot pain. Immediately. I broke my ankle 2 years ago, worked hard to get back to working out, then foot and ankle pain has increased in the last 6 months. I’ve had lots of tests and tried lots of shoes. While the pain is not gone, now I can stand up for my hour exercise classes and am walking farther without wanting to gnaw my foot off. WAY exceeded my expectations a so far.

I bought a pair of shoes and they were to short, I tried for 5 days to get the company to help me with an exchange. Finally they got back to me and apologized for the problem. They refunded my purchase price and told me to keep my shoes. Now I will order another pair.

Thank you for being honest about your experience with us. We know the sizing issue and the delay in getting back to you made things more frustrating than they needed to be, and we’re sorry for putting you through that.

We’re genuinely happy we were able to get things sorted out in the end, and it means a lot that you would consider ordering from us again. We appreciate the second chance and will keep working to do better.

Service was prompt

Service was prompt, shoes fit and I absolutely love the comfort wearing them. Just wish they were more affordable as I am an 82 year old single who is on a very fixed income. Would love to have several more pairs/styles but just can't afford them.

Quality footwear

I have previously been very happy with my hike footwear, both the fabric and the quality have been excellent. However. my most recent purchase is simply not going to work. I need a full refund. Again, the quality and the fabric is excellent, but the fit is way off.

The shoes feel comfortable

The shoes feel comfortable. However , the left shoe is a little small on me so I think I may have needed the next size. But the right one fits fine. Can I exchange the left shoe only for the next size?

Those shoes are not very comfy and perhaps they need to be bigger. Can I return them and get one size larger? I wear a 10 in a normal shoe and i wore these for 2 days and they did not get any more comfy

....they just hurt more.

We’re sorry that the shoes haven’t provided the comfortable fit you were hoping for. We understand how disappointing it can be when a pair feels too snug, and sizing up may give you the extra room and comfort you need.

Please reach out to us at info@hike-footwear.com with your order number, and our customer service team will be happy to review your exchange options and help find a better fit for you. We’d love the opportunity to make this right and get you into a pair you can truly enjoy.

These shoes are very comfortable! I just had a TKR and the arch in my poor walking shoes was too high which caused pain in my foot. I have not had any problem wearing my hikes!

No phone available

No phone available. Ordered 2 pair in a different style than the one I have now. The different style runs larger. Must pay 10 dollars for different size. And only for one pair. No longer bogo. This tells me I no longer want to do business with them. We will see if they give me my money back.

We’re very sorry for the frustrating experience you’ve had with your recent order, especially with the sizing difference between styles and the difficulties you encountered while trying to arrange an exchange. We understand how disappointing it can be when a new pair doesn’t fit as expected and resolving the issue involves additional costs.

We also understand your concerns regarding the changes to our BOGO policy and sincerely regret any confusion or frustration this may have caused. Your feedback is important to us, and we’re taking it seriously as we continue working to provide clearer sizing guidance and a smoother experience for our customers.

I have be unable to return shoes that my husband did not like, what about the 30 day guarantee. I finally agreed to paying $10 more and get another pair.
This seems like false advertising! I would NEVER buy anything that I could not return.
Very disappointing.

Don’t order unless you’re feeling lucky!

I tried for weeks to get a refund. Kept getting e-mails which seemed like a delaying tactic to exceed the 30 day return window. One e-mail asked for more info so they could find a solution. I replied the solution I had been requesting for weeks was to return the shoes! There was no receipt in the package with return info, necessitating the e- mail marathon. They then offered to refund me 30% of the cost and I could keep the shoes. I declined. Then they offered 50%, reminding me that if I still wanted to return them, I would pay for shipping and “fees”. I wanted it over and agreed. They said I would receive the refund in 5-10 business days. Almost 3 weeks later & still waiting!

We sincerely apologize for the difficult experience you’ve had with our process. We understand how upsetting and exhausting it must have been to repeatedly receive partial refund offers when your intention was simply to return the shoes for a full refund.

Having to wait so long for a clear resolution only added to your frustration, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and stress this has caused. You deserved a much smoother and more straightforward experience, and we are sorry that we did not meet those expectations.

Our team will follow up with you directly to review your concern and ensure that the necessary steps are taken toward a proper resolution. We truly appreciate your patience and the opportunity to make this right.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’re very sorry that the sole of your shoes has started coming loose. We understand how frustrating and disappointing this must be, especially when you trusted your shoes to hold up well with regular wear.

I’m a repeat customer

I’m a repeat customer.
I have been enjoying several different styles of shoes. I have told several friends and co-workers that now wear them as well. I’m a barber that stands all day; my feet and legs feel much better since switching to HIKE BAREFOOT SHOES. I am also making fewer trips to see the chiropractor.
THANK YOU!!!!
I’m getting ready to make another purchase.

The return and refund process was…

The return and refund process was terrible. Trying to return shoes was an exercise in futility. It was like dealing with a toddler who refused to accept 'no'. Had to repeatedly request a return with them asking every time, 'are you sure? really sure? but what if we sent you a different pair? you aren't really sure, are you?'. Sent the shoes, with tracking info months ago and they claimed they didn't receive it and reject my return. The shoes were narrow and felt cheap, like the mesh would come apart after a couple of uses. Do not trust this company or its products. And now this company is sorry. Sure. But make it right by giving me a refund.

Hike is well made and durable. It serves its urpose well.

Ok so this review is related to a purchase i made in the past year from Hike. I bought a fun blue hiking boot which was very durable and affordable. I actually gave the boot to a friend for a gift. I personally will probably order from Hike again.

Not very transparent, evasive about refunds or returns. This is not a company I would recommend purchasing from. The response to the inquiry/complaint was slow. Did not address the inquiry.
