Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 5

These are very cushioned (not the most cushioned from Hoka but still amazing) and provided a lot of stability. Feels like walking on clouds honestly! I would size down for Hoka. I'm a 7.5 in adidas & 8 in Nike but bought a 7 in Hoka. I'm also a 7 in brooks for reference.

I had a total knee replacement and reviewed this product mainly for cushioning. I no longer run however I still wear my HOKA's for walking and working out. Great shoe!

I love these shoes. I have another pair so I thought I would try these out. They are super comfortable with each step I run. I do need to lace my shoes the whole way up to the highest eyelet hole to have that stability and perfect fit feel.

I run about 3 miles a couple times a week with sensitive knees and orthotic inserts - and I love these! Comfortable and light!

The 5's are an impressive upgrade from the 4's in fit, comfort, and function. My first introduction to Hokas was in the Arahi 4, which I loved and were a game changer for my running. After putting 450 miles on my 4's, I got a pair of the 5's, and wow! The few drawbacks I experienced with the 4's have been totally remedied in the new version. The 4's always felt a little loose no matter what, and with the 5's, my foot feels perfectly snug and doesn't move around. I needed an insert to supplement arch support in the 4's, which I have not needed with the 5's (I've got about 50 miles in them so far),and aesthetically the Arahi 5's are much nicer looking. I love them so much I bought a second pair to use just with my treadmill. Well done, Hoka!!

Perfect amount of cushion -- not overwhelming but provides lots of support and stability. I used to always get knee pain when running but since running in the Arahi's I now never get pain.

I am on my feet all day, and these shoes give me the support and stability I need. My feet and legs don't hurt at the end of the day. I love them!

As a high impact sport athlete with some serious foot issues, I need a shoe with a generous cushion and good support. Arahi 5 is perfect for me.

This was the first pair of Homs sneakers I've bought and I've already bought a second pair! I would in healthcare and I'm on my feet all day. I have to move patients, heavy machinery and stand for long hours in surgery. These shoes are so comfortable for all of it! The thicker sole gives a lot of support not just for my feet but my back and legs as well. The toe box did feel a little too snug at first. But I loosened the laces quite a bit and after wearing them for a week+ they are loosening up. Several of my coworkers and friends in healthcare are fans too, I highly recommend them.

I am a hospice social worker and on the go most days between the local hospital, individual homes and the office. I have a fused ankle so a comfortable stable shoe is a must. As you can imagine my ankle swells along with the rest of my foot. I wish I would have ordered the wide. I missed the return window so I will probably pass them on to a family worker. I do have another pair with a wider toe box that i purchased 5 years ago-I continue wearing them despite their worn look.

Took the quiz to find out which shoe was best for me and it was too accurate. It's so comfy and so pretty!

I love my Arahi. I use them for marathon training and they are super comfortable. They also look amazing. This is my first pair of Hoka and I am in love.

I am a recreational runner, I run about 3-5 miles four to five days a week. I run mostly on roads and sometimes the treadmill. Over the years I have had stress fractures due to overpronation in my feet. I was in the market for a shoe that provided the best arch support. I tried Asics, New Balance, Brooks, Nike, and Saucony. Never with any luck or much comfort. Then I tried Hokas and I never went back. This shoe feels like you are walking on a cloud. They are lightest shoe I have ever owned and give the most arch support than any other shoe that I have tried. If you are suffering from stress fractures, look no further. You have found the perfect shoe.

So far so good! I have only done about 20 miles so I can't speak to durability but it has helped me and my sad, VERY flat feet. I have a wide foot and the width and fit are great! First, run on these I was able to knock a huge chunk (nearly a full 60 seconds) off my usual split time.
