ReviewTerminal Summary

Hike Footwear has a severely divided customer base with a 2.6/5 rating: passionate repeat customers praise comfort and foot pain relief, while a much larger group reports unresponsive customer service, nearly impossible returns, and misleading return policies.

What customers love

  • Exceptional comfort and pain relief for plantar fasciitis, bunions, and foot problems
  • Lightweight, flexible design that feels good for extended walking
  • Some customers report excellent service and hassle-free exchanges when issues occur

Common concerns

  • Unresponsive and uncooperative customer service with weeks or months of delayed email responses
  • Deceptive return policy: advertised as easy/guaranteed but requires permission emails that go unanswered, items marked non-returnable if worn, and return addresses withheld
  • Chronic fulfillment issues including wrong sizes shipped, long shipping delays (2-3 weeks), and orders that never arrive
  • Quality control problems with shoes arriving defective, misshapen, or made of cheap plastic materials inconsistent with product descriptions
  • Aggressive counter-offers instead of refunds: discounts, exchanges, or retention tactics used to avoid honoring returns

They were wonderful when a pair of shoes didn't fit me right, they had me select another pair that I wanted, and said to keep the pair that didn't fit, so I didn't have to go thru the trouble of returning, and sent me free a new pair! I definitely will purchase Hike shoes again!

When I first saw the ad for this sneaker, I was more than a little skeptical. However, once I put them on, I was delighted that they didn't hurt my bunions. I had been looking for this type of footwear forever. The delivery was smooth and I had no problems.

These shoes are very lightweight and comfortable. I don’t like an high arch support and these are perfect for me. They slip on and off easily. Walking in them feels so good!

I now have 4 pair of Hike Footwear and love them. My second order, the incorrect sizes were ordered, and I wanted to exchange them for the correct sizes. When I did, your company said not to return the incorrect sizes, just pay for the shipping of the correct sizes. Highly recommend these sneakers to anyone looking for a comfortable walking shoe. I was able to find neighbors that can wear the incorrect sizes and they love them also. Keep up the good work and good customer service.

I absolutely love my Hike shoes.

I absolutely love my Hike shoes! I'm 78 and they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had on. They are perfect. My only complaint is the black and the tan pair have to be tied. They also hurt my big toe. I have arthritis and cannot tie shoes with regular laces. I told your representative this and they told me to tie them once and put the leftover lace down in the shoe. I am not able to wear these shoes and I informed you of that but I heard nothing. Can they be returned?
