Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 2

I brought these shoes over 2 months ago and they are amazing. I have plantar fasciitis and have been searching for a shoe that will give me absolutely no pain. I am on my feet all day long at work. I decided to go with the wide shoe and it was a good choice. The price was well worth it !!

I've been a avid runner for over 30 years and have tried all kinds and brands and fads over the years and I can honestly say these are the only running shoes that have fitted "out of the box" and performed better than expected. the internal rocker tech really helps you to engage your gluts in speed work and the monocoque type upper construction keeps the shoe snug to your foot with a fantastically cushioned sole.

The most comfortable shoes . Worth every penny.

WIth my knee replacements and being older I do a couple of miles walking outside 3-4 times a week and the with the insoles I purchased the shoes work well.

Good sneaker, fit well, no blisters on my feet after a day of walking and running. No pain.

I've had this shoes for a week now and they are the best shoes I have ever gotten. I suffer from plantar fasciitis and intense inner heel pain, and after wearing them for a week, the pain is gone! I Highly recommend them.

I bought these shoes at a Tri store. I participate in Sprint Tris and this shoe has greatly helped me reduce my run time. I have been running in Brooks for years, but these shoes are life changing.

Simply the best shoes I've ever worn! Changed my whole life.

I just bought a new pair today. I've had the Arahi 1 for almost a year. I'm not a runner but have a bad ankle. I like the fit of the Arahi 2 much better. Yes, they seem to be a bit more stiff than the Arahi 1's but they were very broken in. I think the better fit will more than make up for a stiffer feel. Since I discovered Hoka One One, it's the only shoe I wear. Even have a leather pair that I wear for work. We'll see how these Arahi 2's do over the next few months.

Great cushion, yet more than adequate support for late pronation relating to a plantarflexed 1st ray. As I'm almost 50 and loosing fat padding on my feet these shoes are a Godsend. I will buy again. Thanks

Very pleased with purchase. I run daily. I have flat feet and a fallen arch and wear orthotics. These shoes have great support and are pretty lightweight. I bought two pair and switch off. Hope they become my regular shoe.

Pretty disappointed when I saw they discontinued a prior shoe that I really enjoyed so I gave a these a go. Amazing! These are my 6th pair of Hokas now and I would rate all of them 5 stars. Just keeps getting better. I have run halfs, Marathons, and ultras on road and trail in all sorts of hokas. Highly highly highly recommend.

For walking

Since being introduced to Hoka I have only purchased this type of sneaker. I promote them every chance I get. Examples: 1) While on a recent trip to Disney, another person made an inquiry about them and was concerned about spending too much money. I informed him it was definitely worth it and since wearing them I have encountered no knee pain. 2) A year after knee surgery, my sister consistently complained about her inability to walk without knee discomfort. After I mentioned Hoka sneakers, she went to a store to investigate but would not spend the money. I sent her a check for the cost - she purchased them - and was so surprised she actually took a two mile walk without pain. Recently, she called and said that her doctor wrote a note saying that she bad knees and the shoe store provided 50% off her second pair. Thanks You

I have been using the Arahi 2 for several weeks now and feel very comfortable in them. Cushy but good support and lightweight. I run ~45-50 miles per week and have no issues.

Used for walking and feet And toes do not hurt

Feels like you're walking on air. Little tight around the top front. Wonder if I should've ordered the wide option.

comfortable @ work

Lot's of compliments on the black and red. Good looking sneaker.

Love the enhancements made to the arahi 2. Shoe is more responsive and stable.

First off I have wide feet (my mother would describe as like a duck) and am active and probably don't take as good of care of my body as I should. Had Asics Nimbus, great fit, then they changed the design a couple generations ago and the new ones didn't fit, so I kept running in worn out shoes. Bad idea, leads to plantar fasciitis and pain just walking. Every shoe hurts until I put these on and boom, I can run again. Light, comfy, amazing. Even if I didn't have plantar fasciitis I would wear these over any others I've had. Thank you.
