Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 4

This is my second pair of Hokas. I'll never wear any other brand. I have back issues. They give me great support.

I first found Hoka shoes when training for my first half marathon. They provide amazing cushion and support while running!

These have really decreased my pain in the outside, bottom of feet. The shoe does the work, so as to not stress with too much flexing. I also have plantar fasciitis (had surgery for it), and back issues that cause pain in flexing my feet. I was in constant pain before I found these. Hoka, please know your target demographic, and choose your colors accordingly. These shoes are not for 8 year old snowboarders/ skateboarders. They are embarrassingly garish and loud looking. I really hate how they draw attention to my feet. Also please pleaseback the boot versions in palatable colors/ styling!

I was having some arch pain while training for the Boston this winter, and the salesman at my local running store recommended that I try these shoes. These are my first pair of Hokas. I've never had a pair of running shoes that didn't require any breaking-in - these were comfortable right off the bat. And now that the Boston has been postponed to September, I bought two more pairs of the Arahis to get me through this extended training period. And no arch pain since switching over to Hoka.

I want to start by saying I hate the colors. Pink is NOT part of my wardrobe, blue is very bright and white I get too dirty. I wear them all the time. What about a not colorful dark grey or black. Now that said, I love the shoe and will buy the ugly colors anyway. I have worn the Arahi 3. I love the stability and the comfort. I overpronate. This shoe provides the step security and responsiveness to allow me to walk comfortably. I had tried many stability shoes that made me feel glued to the ground. These are responsive in a way that allows and almost seems to encourage the completion of one step and the beginning of the next. I wear orthotics, have plantar fascitis as well as other tendonopathies. My podiatrist said I should consider surgery, never to go on my toes and just forget about running. With physical therapy, and these shoes, I have no pain and I can run for short distances (just for the pleasure of running). It is not my mode of exercise. I walk in these shoes about 30 miles per week. They feel great. I hope the Arahi 4's will be as good.

My friends have raved about Hoka shoes for years. Once it was time to replace my Brooks Glycerins, in which I wore custom orthodics, I decided to give the Hoka's a try. I'm not what I'd call a serious runner but I do run quite a bit during my Orangetheory Fitness workouts. (And I've busted out a 5K or two recently), and want to start running more. I have to say, these shoes are wonderful!! I've started running outside and the shoes are comfortalbe there's enough room in the toe box, cushioning in the forefoot is wonderful and the stability is perfect. I don't even need to use my orthotics! I didn't experience a lot of the sizing issues that others have because I tried on/ran in the shoes at my local retailer. I will say, however, that I typically wear a size 7 in running shoes (6.5 in heels) and I'm in a 6.5 size Arahi. I just can't say enough about these shoes. And the color (antigua sand/caribbean sea) is cute too.

Love them so far !

I work on my feet all day, and my shoes were not holding up. Friends who are paramedics and runners told me to buy this brand of shoes. I was skeptic cause im over weight, and i cringed at the price. But i did buy the shoes and i love them. Bought them in wide cause i have wide feet, but i did notice that there was tons of room in the shoe so i bought inserts for it and well lets just say i love them. Ended up buying a second pair of hokas in all leather. I really do recommend these shoes.

After wearing out my original Aharis, I did some research and purchased these. Just had my first run in them and they felt amazing. the OG ones had the soles wearing away and nearly peeling off... hopefully that doesn't happen to these. I experience pain in the middle sole of my foot when running and they are the only shoe that I have found where I can run up to 8 miles in with no pain. These are narrower fitting than my old ones... which is nice. I use to have to wear thick socks so I didn't get blisters from my foot rubbing cause they were too wide. I'm super excited to put some miles on these shoes. I wish there were more color options. I have the lighter colored ones.

I love this sneaker!

I was having trouble and pain from a neuroma. These shoes made all the difference. Toe box has room and the shoe is not too wide. Very comfortable and supportive. I walk/hike with my husband and our three dogs at least 3 miles per day. Wish I could wear these to work!!

I have an extremely high arch so these shoes were great for that. Although I do wished the arch was a little higher but overall great pair of shoes.

Great fit and very comfortable for walking and working out!

The product was fine.
