Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 8

to wide I was hoping for more narrow fit, since they don't come in narrow

This shoe had no arch support.

I need a wide sneaker. This one was too narrow even though I bought a wide

First time trying Hoka, and unfortunately I wasn’t impressed. I over pronate and have minimal arches at this point and was hoping to find a shoe that was supportive and stable, but the shoe felt larger than my normal size and was narrow through the arch and back. Also, the material felt cheap considering the price of the brand. I may have to go back to Brooks brand instead. But Zappos does make exchange/return process very easy.

The Arahi 8 is nothing like the 7. The 8 is not a shoe that will work for me. The 7 is way better. I don't know why Hoka changed this shoe. I don't get it...

The fit and size were perfect. I’ve worn Hoka’s almost exclusively since 2017 upon the recommendation of a foot surgeon, and am very happy. The stability of this shoe along with its cushioning is what keeps me coming back.

It felt amazing

I liked Arahi 6, not a fan of arahi 7, the 8 is the Goldilocks! Absolutely love this version. I already ordered a second color! I have a narrow foot, and it fits me perfectly. My usual size 8.5 in Hoka.

The size is correct and very comfortable.

FINALLY, I CAN WEAR HOKAS! With the new changes to the Arahi I can finally wear HOKA shoes! In the past I was never able to wear Hokas because the heel drops were too low. I have Insertional Achilles Tendonitis and achilles bursitis, also Hagulund's deformity, so I needed a higher heel drop than Hoka's typical 5mm. I also need a very wide toe box. I read a review about the new heel to toe drop height increase in the Arahi 8 and decided to try it. I am really happy with this fit and design! The arch support is excellent too. With all my foot problems it's very hard to find a higher heel drop, wide toe box and comfortable shoe for back of heel pain. This is as close to perfect as it gets for me. Thanks for the changes, Hoka!

My first pair of Hoka shoes. I tried on 4 variations because I couldn't decide. Ended up with these because they have support but not too much support and perfect for every day and for exercise.

My 7.5 year old daughter won’t stop wearing these. Besides being her fav. color (neon green) and of course not over powering on the sneaker, this girl has practically lived in them. Time to get next size up now!

Perfect for RDH’s who hustle and bustle in NYC. These sneakers (and I know what you’re thinking- they’re too wide) are perfect for long days of standing on your feet and running from one room to another. I love Hokas and always will! Usually a 8.5 in women’s sneakers but found the sweet spot at half a size smaller!

Great support.

First pair of Hokas, and am already a fan! I go between Brooks and now Hokas. Working in and medical field and being on my feet all day really is hard, glad I found these shoes that work so well!

First time wearing Hoka, I’m hooked, I go between brooks and now Hokas and love them both, I work on my feet all day and need good shoes that won’t wear out so fast! Will pay for good quality shoes, and Brooks and Hokas are really good shoes for working in the medical field and even walking/running!

Another pair of shoes I already own and love. For some reason this particular color model was on sale. Was skeptical about shoe - wondered if it is an odd-ball. Turned out to be as perfect as those in another color scheme for which I paid full price. tTherefore, these were a great value, too!

I have a very wide foot and a high instep. I have Hoka Aarhus that I really like in 8 1/2 W. However, these extra wide just made my foot swim in them. I am having trouble with the Hikas with the right side of my foot being irritated and thought the EW would be the answer, but it was not to be.

I love these. I bought the wide so my tires can spread. I wear these all day as a teacher who is standing and walking for ten hours straight. I struggle with plantar fasciitis and lower back issues for to scoliosis. These have helped me keep flare ups at bay. Love everything about them.

Got these in multiple colors. They are stable and seems to hold up well

Love this style Hoka

Perfect fit. One of my favorite Hoka styles so far. Comfortable right out of the box.
