I love these. I have high arches and rarely can find a running shoe that supports me the way these do. They're not overly cushioned but they feel great.

I love my original Arahis and these Arahi 2s are also super comfortable, however the toe box is a teensy bit I mean teensy, bit less wide than the originals in the regular size, not wide size.. the toe is a bit rounded compared to the originals. The support is outstanding and the color is stellar!!! I have only worn them twice and love them!!! Woohoo I am staying with Hoka !!! These are the most comfortable running shoe I have ever had~~~ I always get one whole size up from my street shoes.
I'd also recommend:
Saucony, Assics, New Balance.

I have tried many stability shoes over the years and have been reluctant to try a Hoka.. Now I will buy nothing but this shoe. This is worth a trial!

I am on my 4th pair of Hoka's-I wore out two pairs of Arahi 1's. Then I tried the Gaviota. Now, I'm back to the Arahi 2. I have loved boy styles of Hoka's...but the Arahi works best for me. I teach boot camp with lots of running, plyos, crawling pushing, and the Arahi is more flexible and lightweight, but still has the cushioning I need. They are the best shoes (Hoka) that I have every owned--and I've been a fitness professional for over 30 years. My husband has had 3 back surgeries and swears by the Bondi. As for the Arahi 2, I put it on this morning for boot camp and felt SO GREAT! I wear the 8.5 regular width. It is true to size. I have also had two knee surgeries--and the Arahi keeps me jumping and walking long distances with my dogs.
I'd also recommend:
The Hoka Bondi or Gaviota.

This shoe feels just amazing. I wore them while completing a half marathon. I walked most of the way, then started intervals. The shoes didn't bother my calves and I finishes the race! I usually wear Brooks Ravenna which is another great stability shoe. I have added the Hoka's to my shoe regime!

I am super happy to have found the right shoe for my plantar fasciitis. This has been a struggle and for years i was wearing the wrong shoes. Need a much more stable bottom. They feel good, envelope my feet (but not in a bad way) and are super cute. I can walk longer without any pain as a result of wearing them.

Love these so far. They are more heavy duty than my old Asics, and a little less arch support, but the extra shock absorbancy is going to be great for my knees.

This is my first pair of Hoka One One running shoes. I wanted to try them because of the arch support and cushion. I have very high arches and narrow feet. Out of the box these shoes feel great! The cushion is fantastic. I normally wear Brooks Glycerin 8.5, I ordered an 8 in the Hoka and its perfect. I read some of the reviews that mentioned the heel being lower on these shoes than on the Brooks, I like this. It feels like it supports my arch better this way. I've worn them for two days now and still like the feel. These shoes did not require any breaking in.

Love this shoe, just too small. I tried on the Clifton in a local store and thought they would fit the same, but this size 7 is too small. May just be an oddity. I will try again! And I love Zappos! Any entity that is helpful and polite while making my life easier by not wasting my time is a total win!

Love these shoes, they have done wonders for my Achilles Tendinitis, I could tell a difference in one day of wearing them, at work and home, after being bothered with this problem for over a year, I'm finally able to use my treadmill again, the toe box is very comfortable . I will order another pair!

I had been having problem with my old running shoes. Since switching to Hoka One One, I have not had the pain in my legs as I used to. The Arahi 2 are even better than the original Arahi. Love love love them!!

I was 100% skeptical ordering these shoes. I've been a devoted Brooks runner for years, but struggled for the last few months with a pretty bad PF flare-up and reoccurring knee pain. I planned to give them a try and then would most likely return them before the 30-days were up. I'm currently running an average of 40 miles a week and have only had plantar fasciitis troubles when I run in something other than my Hokas! I want to replace all of my other running sneakers with them and never look back!

I LOVE these shoes. They are so comfortable and loOk like normal shoes. I was afraid they would be bulky but they look just like my other shoes. I highly recommend!

With the Arahi 2, I can walk without ending up with a sore foot. This is big for me. The stability the shoe provides (preventing me from pronating) has enabled me to go for 2 mile walks in my neighborhood with no residual soreness like I've had for 10 years! I'm so stoked. Wondering when I should buy another pair. Don't want to not have access to these babies.

So here's the thing, I work out every day. I'm not a super athlete. Just a 50 yr old mom of three trying to be healthy as best I can. I do a HIIT workout every morning where some mornings we run - a lot and others we do more resistance or weights. What I am trying to say is there is major variety every single day. I'm over weight but I give it my all. Because of being a "big" girl it probably contributes to my having major feet issues. I have plantar fasciitis where some days before getting out of bed I already hurt - a lot. The good news - These shoes! I wish I could wear them all day every day. These are the only thing that have saved me. I can now work out and do whatever the trainer has for us without pain! My initial plan was to wear these every other day alternating with my Asics but they feel so good that since I've gotten them out of the box, I've not put the Asics back on. If you have any issues with feet or back I'd highly suggest these shoes. They keep me aligned and keep me stable and they are cushioned just enough. If I could I'd own another few pairs!

This is my first pair of Hoka’s. I cannot say enough good things about this shoe. Super cute! So light and very comfortable. Easy to wear all day. Totally worth the money. Im hooked. I won’t wast my money on any other brand of running shoe again.

I used them almost every day, good in all types of weather... wish the inside back heel area was made of a stronger material because I wore it out! Buying another pair now!!
