Love the color. This is my first pair of HOKA one one. I usually wear Adidas Ultra boost. I had both my knees partial knee replacement and Hoka one one Arabic 4 with an insert really works well. Great support. I do run 3 miles a day and thus far they are great for both on the street and in the gym. Highly recommended.

I’m a light runner and have been having foot pain on and off for about 3 years. I would tape my foot before a run and ice it afterward. After finally seeing a foot doctor, I was diagnosed with Hallux Limitus a few months ago. He recommended buying Hoka OneOne sneakers, but couldn’t recommend a model. Thanks to Zappos and all the awesome reviews, I ordered a few different styles.These worked out best. I have a wide toe area but a normal or narrow heel. These accommodate my wide toe area but don’t give me heel slippage in a regular B width. (The Bondi style felt too wide.) My street size is a 7, and unlike Nike’s where I need an 8, these fit in a 7B. I havent had to tape or ice my feet since buying these. They did take a few runs to break in, but I’m happy to say they feel fine. I wish the colors were nicer, because I’m going to order a second pair.

I wear these during my work day and when I'm out on the trails. It works well every where. Comfortable especially on cement floors. I will be a return customer.

This is my third pair of Hoka sneakers and they all feel great. This sneaker is the color I wanted since I don't like white. When I tried it on, it was comfortable, although there was a little rubbing on the top outer edge on one shoe only. Apparently, not a big deal since I forgot I was wearing them and walked with my sister and niece to the mailbox. Very comfy and will go with my lighter colored clothing when I need it. I have another pair of Hoka sneakers in a tealish blue and I have been wearing those for about 10 months. Just washed them and they came out great! Thanks Zappos!

Normally wear a 10 in Nike running shoes. 9.5 fit perfect! Bought to wear at work. On feet all day and have been struggling with Achilles tendinitis. These shoes are so comfortable and have done wonders for my Achilles. Planning to buy another pair to run in!

These are my third pair and are the most comfortable of all the Hoka One shoes. They have plenty of toe room, wonderful cushioning and I forget I’m wearing shoes. Having problem feet, these provide the support and comfort I need.

I am 71 years old and walk 4-5 miles a day with my dog. I don't think I could do it without Hoka One One. The Ahabi wide fits and feels great! I recommend Hoka to everyone who asks (and sometimes when they don't).

Hokas are my favorite shoe. They are extremely lightweight! I switched from brooks to hoka last year. I bought them in person and they fit me wrong - they rubbed my 3 outer toes on the side, like they weren't wide enough for my forefoot, but they felt so bouncy and virtually weightless that I kept them and put up with toenail pain and calluses. I didn't want them any longer in length, but I took a chance and ordered a half size larger and they are perfect in width and length!! Hoka has figured out how to make the most bouncy and lightweight sole, it's incredible. How much I wish they could use this technology to make a more classy, professional looking shoe that is weightless and bouncy. I guess I will have to have a "sporty" look, that's ok. These are very cute and my 16 year old said they are super cool.

Great fit and comfort straight out of the box. I have wide feet specifically at my toes due to injury. These are nice and roomy! Arch support is Great also- no need for aftermarket insoles.
First day, I Wore them for 9 hour retail shift with zero issues.
Second day, I ordered another pair...

I bought these in wide width for my daughter, who was having issues with standard width shoes causing pain on her instep. Not so with these. They look heavy but are so light and they have a lot of cushion, "like walking on pillows," she says! The sizing is different for her than the Asics she wore previously. We had to return and reorder several times before getting the right size (sizing down in these). Zappos is amazing with returns/exchanges.

This is my first pair of Hokas, as I'm generally a dedicated Mizuno Wave Inspire gal, but after a couple of knee issues and a spike in running (~40 miles a week) during quarantine, I figured I should be trading out my shoes. I've only clocked about 20 miles on these but they're great so far.
Style-wise, I generally don't care what my shoes look like as long as the fit is right but I actually love these. The style is niche, but they don't end up looking bulky from the top at all.

I am recovering from an ankle injury and have discovered that the Hoka Arahi 4 is the only shoe I can wear without having pain in my ankle. I now have this sneaker in four colors, and I'm planning to get another as a designated around the house shoe. They are incredibly comfortable and very supportive. Extra added bonus: they look great too! I am always a size 8 but take a 7.5 in this shoe. (Interestingly, I have tried on other Hoka sneakers and the 8 fits fine, but still not as comfortable for me as the Arahi.)

For over a decade, my BFF and I have enjoyed running together. We are now in our 60's. During our runs, we sort out all our worries and joys in life. We have solved difficult problems, cried over the loss of loved ones, and rejoiced at our kids' accomplishments. She and I have gone on "running vacations" where we load up the dogs and their strollers and take off to new destinations where we find running trails with new sights to see. But as we have aged, unexpected aches and pains have interrupted our running adventures. We have incorporated yoga, turmeric drinks, hemp creme rubs, and massage. But when my Achilles tendon started acting up a few months ago, I feared my running days may be over. A year ago, my friend suffered from knee pain. She bought her first pair of HOKA One One's after doing some research. She reminded me how the shoes changed everything. Her pain disappeared and she is back to running several miles each day. My pain was getting worse despite resting, icing and Ibuprophen. The day my HOKA One One's arrived, I slipped them on and jogged a few yards. No pain. the next morning, after stretching, I went for a brief run. No pain. As each day went by, I was able to run and the pain seemed to become a distant memory. Today, my friend and I are back to doing our long, enjoyable runs, solving each other's problems, laughing at our mess-ups, and reveling in the endorphins filling up our bodies. We want to thank HOKA for inventing and marketing these amazing shoes that are allowing us "older" women runners the ability to continue a sport that gives us such joy and meaning in our lives. Please feel free to share this testimonial. Our wish is that more women our age take up the sport of running. By incorporating an excellent pair of shoes such as the HOKA One Ones, this is a sport that will further the physical and emotional health of women the world over.

In my experience, Hoka's run a half size large. I wear 9 in most shoes but 8.5 in Hokas. They are wonderful shoes with great support, cushioning, and plenty of toe room. Love them. The big challenge of Hokas is the colors. Really iffy options. In this case, I ordered two pairs of the Arahi 4s in the same size but different colors. I decided to keep the blue/green pair after seeing the pale green/aqua with orange and pink, a color combination that I liked even less than the brighter blue. It's really about comfort when it comes to these shoes and I'm willing to live with weird colors!

I originally got this shoe in an 8.5 wide since I wear an 8.5 in Brooks. Once I received the shoe they were way too big. I ended up returning for a 7.5 wide which are perfect. I have never had such a lightweight shoe and they are super cute!

My feet feel better already! I have wide feet with plantar fasciitis. Lately it’s bothering me all the time. I realized I needed new sneakers and it’s hard to find stability sneakers that don’t look like giant paddles. I took a chance with Hoka and am so happy I did. I put my orthodics in them, along with the cushioning in these feels like I’m walking on clouds. The plantar has greatly improved after a week already I was surprised. They run a bit larger and for me to say that is a lot. Most people would want half size down from normal. Roomy toe box and really cute not weird and paddle like. So happy!!

I have been using these shoes to run and walk up to 30 miles a week and one month in they still feel brand new. The stability is obvious on my joints but not in my feet causing any tension. And the cushion is fantastic and still extremely light. Sizing was great- I have struggled with bunions and size of toe boxes in other brands but these for my bunions even in a normal womens B width.

These shoes are a must for flat feet. The low heal drop keeps my knees and ankles pain free. They are also very light during a run.
