Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 5

I needed sneakers with great support for my recovery from a tibial plateau fracture. After not putting any weight on my broken leg for 2 months, I had to learn to walk again. A few people recommended Hokas and I'm glad I listened and bought a pair. This is actually my second pair!

I run 20-40 miles/ week and love these as my trainers for an easy day or long run. I typically wear a 9 in most running sneakers- but size down a half size in these.

I wear these shoes to work and I absolutely love them they so supportive for my ankles and so comfy to wear all day. I'm going to buy another pair so I can alternate them.

I have flat feet and a fused spine, and these shoes are amazing for giving me the support I need to take the strain off my lower back (a result of being flat-footed). I tried and returned 3 pairs in other brands before I tried Hoka, and I will be a repeat customer for sure. They are supportive and comfortable - they truly do make me feel like I'm walking on a cloud! Thank you!

Work & Gym

The us the first time I've bought these and K wish I would have bought them sooner. So comfortable for wearing in the operating room.

These are incredibly comfortable and needed no breaking in. I think these are my new go-to road shoes. They provide a decent amount of cushioning without feeling bulky in any way.

Use these for running roads or gravel trails -- provide good cushioning for my knees. Notice a huge difference when they are worn out.

I wear my Hokas for walking the dogs and for going in the office. This is the fourth pair I have purchased and my second pair of Arahi. I have wide feet, high arches and small bone spurs. This style, Arahi, seems to fit my feet the best and provide the comfort I need.

I really enjoy the comfort, cushion and support Hoka shoes offer for my arthritic feet. They are a life saver working on my feet at the hospital all day.

Love the roomy foot bed. I don't get calluses anymore. I have overpronation and Arahi helps with relieve pain on my bunions. Ever since I've been wearing Hoyas for my walks, I have a lot fewer foot problems. Love my Hokas!

Bought these for a friend who has bad knees and was always wearing thin flip flops , and complaining how her knees and feet were always hurting. Believe it or not, problem solved !!

Great shoe. Recommended by podiatrist. Really happy I purchased them, they make my feet happy.

This color--blue with a sort of coral trim on the sole--caught my eye. They are a type I have not had before, my being a Clifton/Bondi aficianato. But they are Hokas so how can that be bad. And they are very good. The color is just lovely to pair with lighter summer colors. Comfort is just what you would expect from a Hoka. Sadly, at my age I am no longer a runner so I cannot speak for their use on the road but they are wonderful for walking. And on sale yet. Such a deal.

I have had plantar fasciitis for over 15 years, trying every shoe out there and every insert. It wasn't until I tried these Hoka shoes with a WIDER toe bed and cushioning on the soles (rubber) that wearing these have helped so much with my foot pain. I hate to wear shoes inside but they do help me feel better. I wore clogs for years which probably didn't help the situation but I didn't know until now. I'm over 60 and will be buying these for myself and my daughter, who is on her feet all day . Thank you for the wider toebed in these.

I have long, bony feet with bunions and a very high arch. Plus I have a wide forefoot with a very narrow heel and I over-pronate. I don't think I'll ever find a shoe that doesn't bother me some where but these shoes are almost there for me. I love the softness of the bottoms and the fabric gives enough for my bunions. The toe box is wide enough and the heel is still narrow enough to be comfortable. I also like the fact that there are some colors for wide shoes instead of just black and off-white. The rounded toe also makes me very happy my feet are long enough without a long pointed toe making them look longer. The support is excellent. Please don't change these shoes much I need them.

Wonderful for my back problems. They seem to make me stand up straighter which helps alleviate back pain. I ordered 6 1/2 size and needed a 6. 1/2 size smaller than my normal.

I'm 66 yrs old and try to walk each day! Beyond comfortable!!

I need support in my shoes. The Arahi and Gaviota offer the stability that I require and as a bonus they are cushioned.

I got the cantaloupe color and I love them

If I have one nit to pick, it's that the laces are a MILE too long.

I love running in these shoes they feel good to my feet. I think the price is a little high but you can't put a price on something that feels good on your feet

Love them.

Bought these as a gift. My Sister-in-law wears them to work and she loves them. Very comfortable.
