Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 4

Second pair I tried. Returned both. Even though I got wide width shoes neither pair fit well. Toe box not big enough dug into baby toe. And left shoe dug into my foot terribly.

They are to heavy for me. I have rheumatoid arthritis and they hurt my knees and legs. Do you have any suggestions?

There is little to no tread left on the bottom of my shoes after only 3 months of wearing. On top of that it is not meant for hot weather. I say this because When I would run outside in the summertime the bottom of my foot would get so hot that I had to stop running because I could feel the pavement through the shoe one of the reasons for this I believe It's the same reason there's almost no tread at the bottom of the shoe after only 3 months. The bottom of the shoe isn't rubber it's a soft styrofoam that is just not conducive to running on pavement or running when pavement is hot. When I first got these shoes they fixed the pain I was feeling in the middle of my foot after long runs but again three months in their flat and I'm looking to buy new shoes because they are worn out after only three months and I only run about six to eight miles a week. Probably would be good for style shoes but not functional running shoes unless maybe you only ran inside on a treadmill.

I have ran twice with this shoe and after the second run I was absolutely sure that I would not run with it again. My arches were so sore that I have a red mark there and hours later - still sore and hurting. I previously owned a pair of Hoka One One Arahi 2 and I loved it and thought the Arahi 4 would be a better version. It appears I was wrong. If only I could get a brand new pair of the Arahi 2, then I would be perfect. I had no choice but to return this pair.

The cushions are thick but too hard, my arthritic joints in my feet hurt after walking in these shoes.

I have been running in Hoka Arahi and Cliftons for a few years now, Unfortunately they have changed these shoes so much I can not run in them anymore with out pain. I am a very flexible flat foot and the new versions of these shoe just do not have enough structure and support. I can feel my self pronating right through them and this leads to all sorts of foot, knee and hip pain. I wish they wouldn't have changed them, I have found a good running shoe through reading reviews but it's not a Hoka.

Retuned after a few uses as they hurt my knees. There is zero arch support. They are wide and flat but don't stabilize. Not worth the price.

The first time I ran in these I got 2 horrible blisters. One on the side of my foot and other one from sole. Not sure how are these classified as running shoes as I couldn't even run after wearing these for a week. This was my second and last attempt with hoka. Not for me!

I got this shoe for walking and standing for 10 hours. My feet still hurt when I get off.

Bought size recommended and foot slides around. Horrible leg and foot pain when I wear these left side toes go numb. Not comfortable at all. Super disappointed.

the heel area on the soles worn out quickly after 1 month of running with the Arahi 4

This is my 4th and last pair of Hoya Arahis. I have loved my previous pairs but this latest pair feels so much different. I wore them about 5 times thinking they would get more comfortable. Please don't do this! I am still trying to mend my foot from these shoes!!!!! The left outer shoe (near the toe bed) left my foot feeling extremely bruised and was even swollen for a couple of days after the last time I worked out in them. Unfortunately I bought these right before Christmas and didn't work out much for a couple of weeks due to the busyness of the holidays. I missed the opportunity to return them for a return or exchange due to the stores return policy. Now all I have is a pair of useless running shoes and a sore foot!
