Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 6

I've had hokas in the past that fit so well, but these were WAY small and narrow. I normally wear an 8.5 but ordered a 9 wide and they were squeezing my toes so badly that I couldn't stand wearing them for one day.

I had high hopes for the Arahi 6. No store within an hours drive carried this style, so I took a chance and ordered it. I had tried the new Kawana, but the insole cut into my flat arches after a 30 minute walk on the treadmill. So Customer Service said that the Arahi 6 was a bit wider and I should try them. FYI, I have had flat feet since birth, and at 74 years young, they're flatter. I over-pronate inward, so need a shoe with a stable frame. I have had 2 pair of the Akasa (which were well worn) but needed more cushioning and stability. Unfortunately, when the Arahi 6 came, I found they ran a full 1/2 size small (all 3 prior Hoka shoes were my usual 9.5B/M and had plenty of room). And they also run narrow, so back they're going. I'm not sure where I'll go from here, but am VERY disappointed in the Arahi 6.

I used to wear Brooks Ghost 11 and 12, skipped the 13, tried the 14 and HATED them. I used to wear Altra, ordered a pair online, HATED them. Tried Asics (I think gt2000?), hated them. Tried Hoka Mach 4 and they felt like they would be good for done people but definitely not me. My feet were killing me every night with all of those shoes (I work in a hospital). I have high arches and overpronate (feet roll inward). I'm so glad I went to my local running shoe store whose knowledgeable staff suggested these. These shoes feel so soft, have arch support, and feel great! I understand the hype behind Hoka now!

so i normally never post reviews, but these shoes are so comfortable i have to! i walk a lot and will be walking a lot for my job this summer, which is why i got them, and they did not disappoint. if you are on the edge about it, get them! feels like walking on clouds.

I have 6 pairs of HOKAs on rotation. After an extremely painful bout of plantar fasciitis, I decided to be kind to my feet all the time! Possibly, I am a walking HOKA advertisement. I love them all... Bondi, Arahi, Clifton, etc... This fushia/rose color Arahi 6 has gotten the most compliments of all! It's so comfortable for all day wear and walking and color is just gorgeous.

I have 8 pair of Hoka , I began yrs ago w the Arahi 2 but have sent back every Arahi I tried since then! I ended up switching to Bondi , Clifton and few others mostly the ones I wear walking dogs have been Clifton . I like the old recovery slip ons for daily errands etc .( sadly not sold anymore ?) Anyway I fell hard got the gray color here on this shoe ! It was almost out in wide ( I like to spread my toes ! ) so I got the 9.5 D. I could have easily got regular width bc these are not extra narrow like Gaviota ( I've never had a Gaviota that fit right ) anyway I bought primarily bc of the subdued gray color w the sole gray too! I Love these shoes! They feel great , no weird gif on the arches ( like before ) no pinching anywhere ! I'm tempted to buy another pair yo put back ! This color is one of the best gif women my age ( 60) bc it blends w yoga pants etc ! Please make more monochrome ones - less bizarre orange mixes ! etc

I am not a runner but a middle aged lady starting to be healthy. I do a fast, short walk every weekday morning and work on my feet a lot. My right foot overpronates (just googled) and the stability in the shoe greatly helps!

I loved the Arahi 5 so I was so excited to try the 6. I have purchased 5 pairs of the 5 because I love them. I always wear wide so i ordered the wide in the fuchsia color. The shoes are too narrow and too short. I definitely recommend sizing up. They are sized differently than the 5. I have worn them in a couple of runs and accidentally scuffed and put a hole in the upper so I cannot exchange. Bummer!

I've been having so many issues the last few months with terrible stabbing pain in my feet while I run. I got a new pair of shoes (a different brand) thinking it would solve the problem, but it made it so much worse!! My last run in those shoes, I cried for 2 miles from the overwhelming pain in my feet. Enter these hokas. My first run in them I experienced zero pain. I remembered that running was actually fun and not an experiment of how far you can run with excruciating pain before you need medical assistance. These are like little cloud miracles cushioning and supporting your feet in all the right places. I highly recommend and will never buy another brand again

This is my 3rd pair of Hoka's. I have the gavota2 clifton7 and the arahi6 and the arahi6 is hands down my fav! They are super comfy and very well cushioned.

I bought these shoes in May 2022 and paid full price. I run 3-4 times a week and about 3 miles each time. After 3 months now in August the inside material is wearing away already causing the rigid material inside the shoe exposed on my skin and causing blisters. I have gone through many different brands of running shoes over the years and these are by far the west quality. I can't even wear them anymore and now have to buy another pair of running shoes to finish out the summer and fall season.

I love them I have tendinitis and planners fasciitis urgent care fr suggested the shoes. I bought my daughter some to she's a runner and she loves them.

Not for concrete work . I work on concrete floors .
