Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 2

I loved the original Arahi, and these were similarly quite comfortable, but my normal size was a tad too big, and the next half size down was a little snug. It’s a shame because Arahis saves my feet!

I have been wearing Hokas for several years now. I started wearing them when I got plantar facitis in both feet. I have been a nurse for 48 years and an avid walker for over 35 yers. Needless to say I need a good shoe with arch support and stabilization, cushioning and comfort. This shoe works well for me. I do not walk as much as I used to do to arthritis, foot neuropathy, etc. but I have found these shoes to be very comfortable right out of the box. I have plenty of cushioning, arch support and feel good and stable in them. The colors on this shoe are not wild and actually pretty which is a plus! I used to wear the Stinson but this Arahi 2 is working well for me now.

I have the original Arahis and I love them. I went back and forth about getting these because I saw several reviews that indicated these were not as good as the originals. I like these fine. My only complaint is the color selection, which is why they got only 3 stars for style. I’m ordering these in a half size smaller than normal, but I like my shoes pretty roomy to accommodate inserts (not for this pair, though!).

My podiatrist recommended this shoe for my high arches and early-stage bunion development. It really holds my foot well and is completely comfortable. I wear them at the gym and for 3 mike walks. Will probably buy them again but they look like they will last a very long time. I typically wear a size 7 shoe and a size 8 “running” shoe. But these are size 7.5 and fit perfectly.

These might be a smidge wider in the toe box and I usually need that, but they still worked fine for me and the cushy sole is great. The arch support is good. I got the Marlin/Blue Ribbon color. It is more of a pretty blue pewter color that it looked in picture. I love the color.

Love them!! They are so comfortable!

This shoe was suggested to me by my podiatrist. I have plantar fasciitis and she recommended this particular model to help ease my foot pain. After buying some insoles directly from her, I would have to say that these are the most comfortable shoes and that my planter fasciitis is slowly going away. I would agree with other commenters that the shoes don’t last as long as I would like them to, though I walk my dogs 3-4 miles per day. I bought the wife width and the color selection is lacking.

I am a avid walker with heel spurs and own several different models of Hokas. The Arahi is a great shoe if your foot is more narrow with a high arch looking for less “spring” in your step. The Arahi fits my custom made orthotic nicely and holds up well. Super comfortable. Best model so far I’ve owned.

Great shoe! I wear 8.5 in shoes. I ordered 9.5 for walking to allow for foot expansion. Beautiful color. Good cushion.

Love Hoka One Shoes, best cushioning ever!

These are the most comfortable running shoes I have run in! I feel like I'm running on clouds! They are very supportive as well. Once I tried my first pair of Arahis, I knew I was not going back to my previous shoe. I run ~60 miles a week with no issues.
