I really wanted to love these, they are touched too small and not enough arch support. For reference I wear an an 11 I have three other
HOKA’s and have not needed to go up on a size.

I go to the gym and run multiple times a day, and these shoes were so comfortable and made working out so much easier. I will definitely be buying again!

These are great shoes, but I didn’t realize soon enough that the fit was off. I have wide feet, so normally I order a size 10 for extra space. These were too long but still felt too narrow. They’re fine for running, but I feel like I have clown feet when I try to wear them as casual shoes.

I have been wearing Clifton's for several years but recently started needing a little more pronation support. Loving the Arahis so far!! They feel very similar to Clifton with more stability and a slightly narrower fit.

They give me the right amount of support, super comfortable and stylish! These don't dig into my feet like Brooks support shoes do, if your feet are shaped like mine these should be comfortable for you.

Need these in every color!!!!!! So comfy! And extra stylish! I usually swear by the Clifton 9s but the Arahi 8 is my all time new fave pair! So light weight and comfortable. I usually only use this pair for walking /lifestyle

I loved how the shoe hugged my foot and had a slim appearance despite being a wide width. The shoe was wide enough for me. Unfortunately despite using my own orthotics, I still felt my feet turning inward. I severely overpronate, but if you don’t, this shoe would be great.

Unfamiliar with Hoka and ordered an extra-wide. I wear extra wide in Brooks, but these extra-wide Hokas were too wide for me, and I sent them back. I will re-order to wide instead.

The wide toe box was great and very comfortable. The fabric design on the toe seemed less likely to wear and even tear like previous years designs. However, the shoes did not keep my foot flat. They made my foot collapse inward which was very uncomfortable and unstable. This year’s Gaviotas and Bondis do not have that problem, so I will stick with them.

Fit was great but after putting them on they were supposed to be good for plantar fasciitis and overpronation. Didn't work for either and the feel of the shoe said all the fluffiness will be gone in a month or two. I will find something more stable.

I’ve always purchased Arahi 6 and 7. The 8’s just don’t fit the same. They are wider than usual and I purchased med. width.

The Arahi 8 did not give me as much stability in the heel as the Arahi 7. Fabric on the front of the shoe seemed loose.
There was more padding and softer sole. Sole stuck out a lot in the back of the shoe.

Loved the Bondi 8 in Hoka so tried these. No comparison. Fit was not the same.

Hi, unfortunately I ordered the wrong size. I thought a half size larger would be more comfortable and work for me. When I work out I slip inside the shoes and it interferes with my balance etc. I have Parkinson’s disease so I need to be cautious when it comes to eliminating fall risks. Is it possible to exchange for different shoes? I appreciate your help. Trudi
