Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 4

The quality of these shoes has deteriorated since the last 5 pairs I have purchased. Very disappointed

Not comfortable so far. Tongue of shoe not comfortable on top of foot. Shoe so far seems tighter in front across the toes. Tongue appears to be narrower than previous purchases completed in both Texas and Pennsylvania.

The shoes are amazingly comfortable except for a spot on my inner arch that is hitting a seam and causing a blister/hot spot. I'm not sure if it a manufacturing defect or something else. I have to put a barrier (like a band aid) to keep from getting a blister or having pain. It's very annoying and if it didn't happen I'd give them a perfect score.

Good shoes but the ankles are cut high and so it the heel. Hard pressure on my ankles from the shoe and developed a blister on my heel after my second run. I may have to try higher heeled socks, but really, I shouldn't have to adjust my socks for the shoe. I've had MACHs and Hupanas with no problems at all.

Loved the Arahi 2 and wish they were still available. The 3 and 4 do not feel good at all and the 4s have given me an impingement on the head of the 2nd metatarsal. I will try the Gaviota in hopes it works.

Previously having two pairs of the Arahi 3, I had high expectations for these shoes. As far as I can tell, it's essentially the same shoe with a different upper. But my experience with that upper have not been pleasant. The added interior "welding" separated from the inside of the shoe after about 30 miles. This resulted in a twisted, bunched up piece of material on the medial side by if my foot.

Even though they looked better built than the Arahi 2 these shoes started collapsing on the inner sole at around 6 weeks time. They did not hold up as well. As for fit they fit perfectly and are comfortable.

The shoe is hurting one of my heels and it is very annoying

Unfortunately the black color is fading off the outside of the sole on the inside of the right foot only after a little over a month. Never had this happen with the Arahi 3s. Very disappointed. Plus, all I wear these for is for the gym. They are not worn for casual wear.

Shoes were light and comfortable on feet, but as soon as I started running things went downhill quick. It felt like my foot was being pushed to the outside. I was landing strange, couldn't find a good stride, and had a torque to my knee. I put five miles on the shoes and had to call it quits. Back to my old brooks and all the pain went away. Maybe I will try a different shoe of hooks and see if they are better one day.

Shoe is more rigid than I am used to with hoka and find shoe to be uncomfortable to run in.

I didn't like this shoe and returned it. The tongue was super long and rubbed me in the front of my ankle causing irritation. I wear low socks. Maybe with longer socks it isn't an issue, but I didn't like it at all.

Tore on my 3rd run, not responsive as I like. Thought the shoe would help with my underpronation but doesn't seem to help

They are uncomfortable and I feel I wasted our money!

No arch support - not enough cushioning in the toe box- expensive shoe to walk the dog

I bought this pair for my husband in October 2020 and it has tear down in less than 8 months. He is not a runner and he occasionally wore this for light jogging and walking on roads. The back string has ripped in about 3-4 months from the purchase date and then the inner heel frames teared the fabrics. Very disappointed and going to put a warranty claim.

I purchased via mail. I purchased true to my size. The right foot felt great. The left, after three (3) miles hurt. The top of my foot became very tender. I waited a few days and when I put on the left shoe the pain returned. I was excited for my purchase but now I can't wait to return it. I hope that if I ever try Hoka One One again it will be a better experience.

Title says it all

I ive bought these shoes twice now expecting that possibly the first pair was a fluke. But after only running a week in these shoes the tops are already ungluing from the soles and ive had to try and glue them back together. hoka im sorry but youve let me down twice now. Your quality control needs to step up on the endurance of these shoes or drop the pricing of these shoes substantially if im gonna have to buy a new pair of shoes every 3 weeks. Also the shipping was a week and a half behind the stated delivery date. Allowing me to not have a pair of running shoes for my last race.

Within two weeks of starting to wear these, the strapping on the inside came off. Now each time I put my foot inside, my toes get caught.
