Arahi 8

Women's

I am a long time wearer of the Arahi model. They recently moved the new Arahi 8. I overpronate and wear orthodics. I feel the new model is not as stable as the Arahi 7 and my feet are overpronating and causing me flare up for my tarsal tunnel (like carpal tunnel but in the feet) that I have in both feet. I would return them and go back the Arahi 7, but I can't find them anywhere - not Hoka, Amazon, etc - in my size (7W). They are extremely lightweight and cushy - but not as supportive for the original intent of wearing the Arahi's - stability and overpronation.

The new Arahi 8 fits more like the Arahi 6, thankfully. I had worn the Arahi 6 for quite a while, and the Arahi 7 did not work for me at all. Thankful they made this change. Hoping they’ll add more color options.

I have been buying Hokas for years, but they keep changing the fit. I have had Arahi 8 before, but these don't fit right. There is not enough support in the ball and toe area. I don't know which Hokas to get. Last summer I tried on a bunch of Hokas but they all felt weird or not enough support.

These seem to be exactly what my feet needed! I'm a nurse in a busy pediatric office and was having arch and really terrible heel pain. I've only worn these for a week so far so time will tell but so far I've left work with no foot pain and feeling like I could keep going many more steps. The upper material is very soft but completely supports my whole foot. I have Haglunds deformity on one foot and these shoes do not irritate it further. Very thankful I found these!

i found this Hoka Arahi 8 to be a great running, all around walking tennis shoe. I am typically a size 6 and the 6 was perfect for both length and width (medium) . Very cushy and offers stability. I have never worn Hoka's before so I was skeptical. But love these. For reference, I run around 3 miles/day and workout regularly doing rowing, and walking as well as cardio and had foot surgery on my left foot so I am very fussy about my workout shoes. these are great.
