Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 3

I borrowed a pair of an earlier Arahi model from a friend who is an avid runner. I am a power walker/jogger, and this is hands down the best shoe I've ever had on my feet, I knew instantly something was different. As someone with back problems I need a shoe that softens the blow, the Arahi model makes me feel like I'm floating. I've shaved 5 minutes so far off my routine with its speed and comfort. Just an amazing feeling shoe. I tried a couple of the other models but it turns out, despite having an average arch, I really like the stability of the Arahi, so I ordered the current Arahi 3 and it's perfect. I wish I had known about this brand sooner. I hope the 2020 version has some great colors - not all women want to wear pastels.

I overpronate and have hypermobility, a bunion, and an uneven gait. My podiatrist recommended this model of shoes along with some Powerstretch inserts. I do notice a difference in each step with the Arahi compared to the Brooks I was previously wearing. The Arahi seems to better control the movement and positioning of my feet so that they don't roll as much. I originally ordered a size 7 which is what the Hoka site recommended based on my Brooks size 7. But the inserts in the 7 were hitting my arch uncomfortably. Sized down to 6.5 and it's perfect! For the first time since I was a kid, I feel I can walk with a complete and "normal" stride, with my big toes pushing off and my arms swinging. Before, it was just too painful whenever the bone under my big toe hit the ground so I would shift my weight off the inside of my feet. I started going for brisk 35-45 minute brisk walks regularly. I was never able to do that before because of the pain. One perk is that I can still wear my full toe spacers in these shoes. I thought they would be too narrow for that but they're perfect.

Great walking shoe

This seems a little more narrow in the toe box than my Arahi 2.

I was not familiar with these shoes until I was the hospital and I saw nurses wearing them. I asked about them and then ordered them. I am so happy- ordering my second pair tomight.

I've had two Achilles surgeries and this shoe is amazing. Fits and feels great with tremendous support.

This is my 2nd pair and I love these! It cured my bunion! I am up on my feet all day and this pair helps me last all day long!

I have worn Brooks shoes for many years and have been disappointed recently in their selections. A friend who is an elite long distance runner raves about his Hoka's so I decided to give them a try. I'm a walker, wear a size 12 which is big for women and often find athletic shoes run small so I have to either order men's sneakers or a full size up (13). I did the online shoe assessment, ordered a pair of W Arahi 3's women's size 12 and love, love, love my new shoes. Highly recommend for women with bigger feet and who need arch support. My feet are comfortable, supported and the shoes are pretty cute. Thank you Hoka One One!

They feel very comfortable, before buying the Arahi 3 I was having pain in my right knee and in my foot after running that prevented me from improving my performance, with the Arahi 3 I had no problem, and I enjoyed running better

This is a great running shoe. This is the second pair of Hokas I've purchased. Was a loyal wearer of another brand for many years till I tried my first pair of Hokas. I'm a convert.

I use this product to teach classes at the gym. I jump around a lot and was very pleased with this kicks.

My Orthopaedic doc recommend this shoe after I broke a bone in my foot. Now it's my all time favorite every day shoe.

I stand on concrete all day and run in these shoes. I have ZERO calf pain or foot pain in them!
