Yes! I had a 4 yo and a 6 yo and we needed to get my foot stable enough so that I could wait to have surgery once they didn’t need to be carried places. He told me Hokas were his preference from an orthopedic standpoint and I wore them almost every day for a year and honestly, it made all the difference!
Last year I saw a woman outside the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Manhattan wearing black hokas with ankle length jeans (maybe white? possibly frayed hem? I’m disappointed I don’t remember precisely), a tee and a Chanel jacket and it’s seared in my brain. She managed to make hokas look, dare I say, chic? Maybe it was the jacket bringing the chic, nevertheless, every time I pack for NYC, I think about it. Still not convinced I can pull it off, but it’s out there… And a second on the Clifton.
I think the Clifton’s are a good compromise between cushion and looks. I wore these for a year pre-foot reconstruction. After my surgery I switched to Bondis, which look like rafts attached to your feet but are super comfortable. And I have a pair of Transports now that I use as my “cute sneakers” (🤦🏼♀️) but 💯 are not as comfortable as the others! But they do look cuter and despite what my doctor thinks, THAT MATTERS 🤣
I will chime in — yes! Also orthopedist recommended here for a variety of foot and tendon issues. I have Clifton’s and Bondis for walking all over NYC, and alternate wearing them.
Love the detailed answer. And cute shoes DO matter because who wants to go anywhere in ugly shoes?! I have hip issues and have heard hokas are good options but there’s so many styles, I get overwhelmed.
I have worn On and Hoka! Ons tread wore out a lot quicker, and Hoka was recommended by my foot doc! Gen Z and youth don’t know how good they have it to be able to wear comfy shoes for going out ! millennial me wore too many heels for “da clerb” and now have sad feet.
Idk why “sad feet” made me laugh though I am sorry for this! I wore 4-inch heels every day/all day from like 22-38 which feels bonkers to put it mildly.
I stumbled on an interesting Reddit post yesterday from an author writing a short story about a woman in her early 30’s, and she was asking what bag this character should wear if she’s trying to impress people in Lower Manhattan haha. The answers were VERY fun to read, but my takeaway was Celine Celine Celine Goyard YSL Celine. lol! I guess it’s the rage! I’ll have to look around when I’m in the city tomorrow and see if I notice this now that it’s been pointed out.
I love my phoebe philo era celine but I do feel like the triomphe branding is oversaturated at the moment. Excited to see what they come out with under new direction.
My most prized possession is a red leather Celine Pheobe era wallet haha - I get the appeal!! I want a secondhand Cabas tote too… which reminds me, I should check my saved TRR search!
Love! When I earned my doctorate I decided to buy myself a chic “doctor bag” to commemorate the achievement. I chose a deep navy phantom with a dark green interior. They discontinued the style one year later. Still love her. Still get so many compliments when I bring her out.
I'm no professional but do study movement & I tried the NB with a Hoka type sole & your toes don't touch as you step forward. How do you maintain toe strength? Yes, they're very cushiony with that thick sole but not sure they're doing your body any favours
I've become very disappointed in most doctors lack of knowledge in areas like this so not surprised that they recommend this shoe. Recently bought new shoes in my local specialty store & tried the sole in my go to AA New Balance. I got a look like "I know..." when I mentioned the lack of toe contact.
as usual we have to be responsible for our well being & if you're lucky, find someone knowledgeable who understands movement. easier said than done!
I am completely obsessed with Janessa hats and am sad I never pulled the trigger on the Clemence which is now sold out. I am laughing at how much your sneaker question created a stir when, to me, JL products should be what’s creating buzz!!!!
As a lifelong distance runner, I’ve never been able to get on board with the chunky sneakers as fashion trend. My running shoes - loyal asics nimbus wearer since 2007 - are not something I’d ever consider striking outside actual athletic wear
Must say that I bought the Khaite jacket in black denim because of how often you recommended it and I'm certainly not sick of wearing it nor hearing about it! It's truly such a great piece.
Ons fan. Great to travel in (solid black or solid beige) and so easy to pack. Super light weight and extremely comfortable! I tried the Hokas and thought too much foam. Very bouncy … bulky. Ons super fan
I just got the Celine belt! My first logo purchase in… over a decade? My mom wanted to treat me and that’s what I picked. A friend in ny vouched for it before I pulled the trigger so that makes sense! lol!
Hoka slides--highly recommend. I have the old version (black) and oddly get compliments all the time. New version is more ostentatious. Still very comfortable. Cannot speak to the laced shoes. I stick with Satorisan or Puma for low profile.
My Hoka AND my ON shoes are such a wardrobe constant that I always have a pair of both, rotate between them ( often daily) based on mood/ activity/ colour prediction and replace regularly at signs of wear and tear! Question- what are we wearing for light coverage on our faces for summer? Needing a tinted moisturizers or light(er) base and feeling unsure. Ideally with spf… and finally do you ever feel lazy about needing to buckle of the Jalen sandals and did you find you had to bring them in? Happy Sunday !
Dr Idriss just did a YouTube on this I think! I'm going to check. Historically I always liked Supergoop's tinted SPF but they changed the formula and I never figured out my new color because lazy.
this has been on my list and I tested it on my hand at sephora last week. its sooo nice and on my list when I run out of ny saie slip tint. charlotte parlor swears by the ciele and the finish is superb. cant wait to try it on my face!
I’m a Hoka girl, but not for fashion, alas! My orthopedic surgeon made me do it, and he wasn’t wrong!
My husband is a surgeon and hokas and ons are his hospital rounding shoes of choice, LOL. More fashionable than medical clogs, but still supportive.
wait tell me more! Doctor recommended shoes?!
Yes! I had a 4 yo and a 6 yo and we needed to get my foot stable enough so that I could wait to have surgery once they didn’t need to be carried places.

My PT strongly recommended them as well sadly haha
Bondi for lyfe

Which style is the best? I’ve almost bought a pair a few times now.

If I may jump on the hoka advice bandwagon, do you recommend them for lots of standing/daily activity as well as a shoe for walking?

I wear On but I really don't think they are anything special. I've found them at Nordstrom Rack on occasion.
I can't get past the super thickness of the Hoka, plus I'm scared of the HUGE branding.
I tend to agree?

I was surprised by the fact that no other brand was dominating. Hadn't seen this since the Gucci marmot was everywhere.

That was my hunch but also so interesting that so many docs recommend?

I have the Tinsley and I swear it makes me look GOOD no matter how little sleep or how mediocre everything else I’m wearing is. It’s insta-hot.
12/10 AGREEEEEE

I'm a weirdo who only wears athletic shoes for exercise so clearly I don't get it either!
I knew I liked you!
Amen , me too
Related thought for this community on the topic of questionable shoe trends - how do we feel about Tevas being fashionable now?

Ahhhhhh this delights me. I really do wear the shit out of it.
Ons fan. Great to travel in (solid black or solid beige) and so easy to pack. Super light weight and extremely comfortable! I tried the Hokas and thought too much foam. Very bouncy … bulky. Ons super fan
Hoka Cliftons for life!! I will never go back. ON wasn't comfy enough for me. Hokas are like walking on clouds.
You are too good to me.
Can’t wait for Katie’s book!

Hillary, do you recall what you’re wearing in the Tinsley pic? It’s looks like a perfect tank/bikini top/whatever it is!
Ha it’s a “vintage” American Apparel tank!
Thank you! The best! I also still have that grey triblend v-neck, among others, from 20 years ago. ❤️
As do I!!!!!

I just bought naked sundays peptide foundation tint. SPF 50. Nothing has ever made my skin look better from a base perspective.
Wow- ok thank you! Will definitely try!

The Ciele tint is ELITE.
this has been on my list and I tested it on my hand at sephora last week. its sooo nice and on my list when I run out of ny saie slip tint. charlotte parlor swears by the ciele and the finish is superb. cant wait to try it on my face!
It wears so beautifully, too. I hope you'll love it as much as I do!
