I have used these for street and trail runs and I love them for both. I have a regular-sized foot (not really wide or narrow) and they fit perfectly. My knees, shins and ankles feel great even after longer runs. I'm very pleased!

My Hoka make my feet feel like they're walking on a cloud. I have three pair and will certainly buy more.

I have a wide foot and high arches. Furthermore, I just had surgery to fuse my right ankle because of a car accident I was in four years ago. This shoe helps me to walk normally because of the curved bottom. I'm so happy to no longer limp or put more weight on my left leg. Now I can go for walks again and park my car far out in the parking lot instead of in the handicapped space! I also own the Akasa shoe as well. These shoes work so well for my wide feet. I've tried other HOKA shoes that didn't work for my feet, but it's great that there are so may options so that you can find what you need.

I bought these to help with my plantar fasciitis. They've been so helpful and my feet feel better than they have in awhile

I purchased the Arahi 3 for my trip to Paris and Belgium and took no time to break them in beforehand. They were the best shoes I could have had to walk all day in Europe! They were cushioned, supportive and wide enough for my very wide feet. I walked miles every day and my feet never hurt. I highly recommend these shoes! And with Hoka's amazing return policy, you have nothing to lose!

I fell in love with Hokas the first time I put on a pair of Gaviotas. I had just had knee surgery and they were the ONLY shoes I could wear for several weeks. Now the Gaviotas are the only shoes I use to road run and walk. I was looking for something similar but not as cushioned to wear to work (I'm a school teacher and am on my feet all day.) After trying several other Hoka styles, I found the Arahis and fell in love. They run a little smaller; I wear an 8.5 in the Gaviotas and an 8 in the Arahis. I think they are a little more narrow through the foot and the toe box, but I have a relatively narrow foot, so they fit me great. I always put my orthotics in both models. The support and the cushioning are amazing! The Arahis are not as cushioned, and honestly i don't think they are as stable, either. I personally would not run in them. But they are perfect for walking around an elementary school all day! Thank you, Hokas!!!

This is the best athletic shoe I have purchased in years. Good arch support, lots of cushion on the ball of the foot, and no break-in time. Really love these shoes.

I tried these on after a very long walk through the city. I'm an 8.5 shoe and the 8.5 Arahi 3 fit perfectly. I have a collapsed arch and a bone spur on top of the same foot. My first run in these shoes was great. Amen! Love the gray/teal with orange laces. Can't wait to get a second pair.

This is the smart way to control overpronation: build it into the shoe, not just tilt up the inside of the shoe & heel. This feels like a neutral bed when you walk in it, instead of something hard holding up your ankles. Then, you're not putting unusual weight on the outside of your feet from the tilted designs of other brands. Very gooshy feeling, but comfortably supportive. My usual 7.5 size in a running shoe was perfect in the Arahi.

This is my second pai. I love these shoes!! Also I will add I love the color of this pair. I'm a runner I run 3-4 days a week between 12-20 miles. Almost all running shoes have ugly color combinations. I love this color I feel like it is modern look.

I need to wear every day all day with business clothes. I'd like more conservative shoes for my arthritic feet. Your shoes are the only ones that will do.

I was looking for a shoe to wear indoors only at the gym. I am in love with the Ahari 3. I wish had a tad bit more cushion, but it is fine as it is, too. They are comfortable and fit well on my feet.

I'm a fitness walker and need a really good shoe to get my miles in. I did a lot of shopping before I settled on this one. I'd never worn this brand, so wasn't sure what to expect. After reading the reviews I ordered a half size down from my normal size. Usually I'm a 7 wide, but these are absolutely perfect in a 6.5 wide. I loved this shoe from the minute I opened the box! The Allure Mood Indigo color is absolutely beautiful! Then I fell in love again when I got them on. This is the best exercise shoe I have ever worn. They are so comfortable, yet have excellent support. I walked a brisk three miles the first day without a single problem. As a matter of fact, I love them so much I am planning to order another pair in white. Hopefully Zappos will get more of the colors in wide width. Don't hesitate on this one. It's worth the money.

I have a been a long distance runner most of my adult life and have always stood by one brand. I am currently recovering from a crush injury to my foot and was encouraged to purchase these shoes by my orthopedic surgeon. My only complaint is I did not invest in a pair sooner! In fact, I loved them so much that after only running in them for one week I bought I second pair for work. Whether long or short distances I believe these shoes provide ample support, comfort, and stability.

I have tried 4 other make sneakers for my plantar fasciitis. None of them worked. Vionic was no good either. This is the BEST FOR FEET. I’ve gone back to walking 3 miles a day & there is no pain after or in the morning. I do the caring of my feet after walking too. If you have plantar fasciitis, these are the sneakers for you. NO EXAGGERATION.
Fits true to size. Cushion like feeling. Wide enough. I forget I have shoes on. You will not regret.

I love my Hokas! I use them for all my workouts. I especially like this pair because it's more of a normal color:). I am kind of done with the crazy colors. These shoes are super comfortable

This is the second pair of the same make of shoes that I've bought. I just got a different color. They are so comfortable and I've had problems with my feet before. Now I'm walking over 3 miles every morning, and I'm feeling great!

I have been wearing "tennis shoes" since 1993 because of problem feet. My gym trainer recommended HokaOneOne because of their light weight, and I went to the store that same afternoon. I had never heard of them. I will never have anything else now, and I can't say enough good about them. I never dreamed a shoe this light could have such great stability. For me they are perfect in every way. I recommend them all the time. Thanks for the perfect shoe for me!!!

Two years ago I eased my hip bursitis, knee pain and herniated disks by wearing Hoka's men's Arahi. I often walked miles (sometimes up to five miles on the sidewalks of NYC in one day) in the shoes without pain. Amazing. A few months ago, though, I started to have hip pain and back fatigue. Then I realized I had probably walked so many miles in my Arahi's they had lost their support and some of their excellent cushioning. I ordered these and voila, no more pain. Absolutely amazing.
These shoes are a little long in the toe, but that may be good for thick socks in winter, and they are plenty wide for a medium foot. I do wish Hoka made these in black and with the original Arahi material. But the bottom line is: I recommend them for anyone with knee or hip pain.

I'm recovering from hallux rigidus surgery and need a sneaker without an uncomfortable toe box and another support for my big toe. The construction of this sneaker is perfect for me in those respects. I run about 3 miles a day and it truly feels like running on air.
