Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 5

I needed a pair of walking shoes and seen someone in the store wearing them. She said that she loved them and she was a runner. Thought that I would give them a try. Never will I switch to another brand. They are light, great cushion and have the arch support that I need along with great for my heel spurs. I can wear these all day with no foot pain.

I have wide feet so the wide with rocker bottom option is great. Legs and feet always feel good after long runs (up to marathon).

I have the Bondi 7's (2 pair) and they fit pretty good. These Arahi 5 shoes fit my foot better, a bit more narrow, especially at the ankle, where my foot slips a bit with the Bondi 7's. I have severe arthritis in my big toe(s) and heel spurs. My podiatrist recommended HOKA shoes and she was right, they are the best for my feet. It's that meta rocker deal, keeps my toes from having to bend so much. I was several miles a week and my HOKA shoes keep my feet happy.

The Arahi 5 is my perfect neutral everyday road running shoe. It's light, cushion-y, and comes in great color options. Even after the tread wears down and I do not run in them anymore, they become my everyday walking around shoe.

I switched from ASICS to the Arahi 5 after developing heel pain in one foot. The amazing cushion and support prevented pain when running and I just finished a 10k with no problems. I'm a new convert!

Can't wait for 6 to be available in is market, can I preorder?

I brought these light weight HOKA Arahi trainers because I need a stability shoe, great for overpronation giving me extra support. I find the pull tag on the heel collar useful making it so much easier to remove trainers after my run.

I am a recreational runner and cyclist who never really runs more than ten miles a week. I have low arches and a history of knee injury plus a tendency to overpronate. I purchased these shoes in November 2021 and have used them for running my weekly miles since. I immediately liked them, but I know that the true test of a good running shoe is in repeated mileage. I'm happy to say they have held up. One of my favorite things about these shoes are that they don't make you feel like you're sinking into the pavement like some stability shoes do. I wore these as my race shoe for my first duathlon this year and they felt so light and speedy. The one thing I would change is the laces. They seem to be too long and skinny and feel like they might stretch out.
