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

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!

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

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.

Used Hoka shoes came in a cloud box inside of an amazon box! There are makings on the sides and worn on the bottoms! Shors were literally thown in a box! Absolutelt ridiculous! When i called customee service to complain, the representaive said she highly doubts that this would happen! Well it did! And the proof is in the photos!

I exchanged the Gaviota for the Arahi and am so glad I did. The Arahi fits true to size, maybe ever so slightly longer than my Brooks of the same size.. but I welcomed this as I intend to use them for running. Overall a great shoe with good support.

I have loved loved Arahi 6 and was afraid to try a new model because how could another fit so very well?!! These fit really good and I'm so glad that I gave them a shot. I will buy more of the Arahi 8's before they, too, disappear!!

I've worn the Arahi 6 and 7 and have loved them both. I bought the Arahi 8 in my normal size and whoa! Major difference. There is more space in the toe box and the size seems to run big. I've also read reviews of the drop change and many aren't happy about it. It went from 5 mm to 8mm and I must say, I'm not too happy either. My feet loved the 5mm drop and felt very secure in the previous styles. Why change it? I wish they would go back and hope they do with the future Arahi models. I mean I still like the shoe but find myself scraping the shoe when I walk because of the drop height change.

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.

Not all people who wear Hokas are runners. Many of us are older women with foot conditions. I have a condition called "fat pad atrophy" and my feet are narrow and pronate. I have five pairs of Arahi 6s and five pairs of Arahi 7s. Both worked just fine for me. The Arahi 8 has many changes that have ruined it for me. The J-frame cradled my foot perfectly; the H-frame feels unstable and the arch doesn't seem right. The heel-to-toe drop (now 8 mm instead of 5 mm) is too great for walking and causes a backache for me. The 8 is wider; I remember that many wearers complained that the 7 was too narrow. But a Wide version was available for them. A Narrow version of the 8 is not. I am so disappointed. There are still a few pairs of 7s available from diverse shoe stores, so if you loved 7s, look for them quickly.

very comfortable. I have arthritis in my big toes. Most shoes cause my toes to ache. I can walk 3 miles in these shoes and my feet don't hurt at all! Looking forward to longer walks.
