This is my first Hoka purchase and I was very excited about it. Shoe has blistered one toe pretty badly obviously making my run pretty uncomfortable. Have never experienced this with my previous brand.

I purchased these on sale..they're just OK. Not as much cushioning as my Bondi 7

After one wear, the shoe created a huge blister on the top of my toe. There is an internal plastic piece that is supposed to be covered with cushioning material. The material rolled on the right shoe and I can not get it to flatten out so the shoe is unwearable. The style is really nice and I have owned other Hoka shoes so I may have just received a defective shoe.

I was looking forward to these shoes as they come highly recommended but unfortunately for me the ones I got hurt my left foot so I will have to go to a store that sells them and try them there instead of buying an having to return

Meh, not a convert. Had heard great things so I tried a pair and didn’t like them at all. The fit was fine but they were stiff and noisy to walk in. Definitely going back to my Brooks, giving this pair away after wearing them fit a handful of shifts.

So I broke my ankle a few years ago and it still gives me fits, these don't support like I thought they would and they are not as comfortable as I had heard, I will keep them and wear them until I wear them out but can't say I'd get another pair!

I felt the base of the foot bed was too wide for running. Almost like the shoe would get in the way of my running and I was fearful of tripping. It was VERY soft and lots of cushion. Great for walking!!! I just did NOT like them for running.

The shoes did not provide good support and after wearing twice I started getting a blister. Was very disappointed because I've heard good things about the brand but maybe this style is just not good. Does not compre to Adidas ultra boost sadly

I'm having pain from a bunion and arthritis in my foot and my orthopedist recommended these shoes for therapeutic purposes and for comfort. I didn't like the style but I thought they might be okay in turquoise. I was wrong. I found them to be very clunky and horribly unattractive. I wore them around my house and didn't find them to be particularly comfortable. If they had looked passable, I would have kept them to find out if they would have help my foot issues but I sent them right back.

I wanted to love these shoes - so much more attractive than my typical Asics (I did the Nimbus Cloud/Lunar Rock color), perfect fit to my foot (I go up a half size from my normal shoe size), but they are horrible for running. I run 5-10 miles per week, usually 2-3 and never more than 4 miles, and it is hard for me to walk the next day after wearing these shoes. They are so hard and don't provide any bounce to your gait.
I over pronate, which these shoes are supposed to correct, but after running in these for a month I have big blisters under the skin on the outside of my big toe and nearby inside-ball area of my foot.
These are great shoes for "athleisure" or even weights at the gym, but not running.

So disappointed. Every time Hoka upgrades their shoes they are not comfortable. My heels slipped in these and could start to feel my Neuroma hurting. Tried Clifton 7 which always was my favorite but had to return them due to the attached tongue that dug into the top of my foot. Guess it's time to try a different brand. So sad!

I really think I would love these shoes but I went by Hoka's recommendation about getting the same size as my ASICS and they are a whole size to big. I didn't wear them the first time until my 30 day guarantee was up.

they caused my back to ache. I need less of a lift in the heel. Any recommendations?

This shoe felt small compared to my other hoka sneakers, and I have had a few pair. I don’t feel this one is as well made as the others either.

I bought these for walking. I have arthritis, bone Spurs and plantar fasciitis and these are the most comfortable shoes! I was so excited to find them because I'm finally able to walk again! This is my second pair, and the fabric on the heel tears after only a few months. There is something sharp that pokes through against the back of my heel and I can no longer wear them. They are too expensive to keep replacing and I would expect them to last much longer. Unfortunately, I may have to start shopping for another brand.

Sorry to say that the arahi felt really clunky to me. I've been
running in the Rincon for about 2-3 years and this shoe just felt big and clunky. I bought these because I need more support but I didn't feel like they had any more support than the Rincon. Just didn't work for me. I'll stick with my favorite.

I loved the ahari 3 but had to purchase the ahari 4 this time. I wore them 4-5 times before I gave up and pulled out my old pair. This version is definitely more narrow and will have to return them.
