Hoka’s Ora Primo is a Recovery Shoe Sent to Us from the Future

The many activities of recreation we partake in fills our closets and storage bins with an equal variety of ultra-specific footwear. Climbing shoes, trail running shoes, and so on. To recharge our soles for the next jaunt, wildly supportive recovery shoes are a must. And nobody does it better than the cush-gods at Hoka. While the Ora Recovery Slide won our hearts over long ago, the new mule-like Ora Primo—released Today 15 December 2023—will soon be popping up around your local climbing gym and no doubt, across your IG feed.

The new Ora Primo adds to a growing list of casual footwear options that pair slip-on convenience with more aggressive soles (Merrell’s Winter Moc Zero as another example).

Hoka heads will be quick to recognize the Ora Primo’s hefty midsole, a signature of the brand that brings unrivaled comfort and support with it. Surrounding the wearer’s weary hooves, a quilted insulated upper earns itself an upcoming spot on our list of the best insulated slippers. (Though admittedly we are disapointed the upper lacks any DWR treatment.)
