Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 5

I run 6 days a week on asphalt. These shows are light and extremely supportive. Very comfortable.

The fit and stability are exactly what I need. I love the way this shoe feels. It is light while firm. I would definitely buy again; however, the Arahi 4's that I had prior to these wore out quickly in the sole and the fabric around the heel. The frame around the heel feels like wiring is getting ready to protrude. I am lightweight, a slow, casual, jogger. I was disappointed in the longevity of the shoe.

I have flat feet, bunions, am 63, and am now able to go on 4-5 mile walks. These shoes have made a world of difference to my overall health and comfort. I have already gotten another pair for fall. No more orthotics because these are so supportive.

Sooo comfy...more colors plz

This is my first pair of HOKAs. I've been wearing the shoes for several weeks now, thinking I would alternate with a sneaker I had bought from another company. Since finding these so comfortable, I have worn only these consistently. I wear them with my custom-made orthotics, and they work together beautifully, which is a huge plus! It took a few wearings to get used to the change from the "last/angle" of my other brand sneaker, but now these are my "go-to" shoes! I wear a 6 and 1/2 in most shoes, but I always order "up" in sneakers. I tried both a 7 and 7 and 1/2. The 7 is perfect! My feet are supported and my legs, knees, and hips feel great during and after my walks! The toe box is also very comfortable! The laces stay tied and in place too! The customer rep Jenny who helped me to determine which model to try was extremely helpful! All in all I'm very pleased!

I over pronate and decided to try this shoe. It is comfortable and lightweight, perfect for warmer weather. I also own the Gaviota style as well. They are both great shoes for those needing stability. I find the Arahi more lightweight, but provides stability just as well as the Gaviota. Both great shoes.

I have Morton's neuroma and these shoes helped tremendously. They are so light and cushiony

I don't use these shoes for running, but use them for walking long distances (long hikes, a day at Disneyland, etc.) I'm a mild over-pronator and get a lot of knee pain when I'm walking long distances, but not with these shoes! I have tested these shoes out in a variety of situations, most recently while walking 8.5 miles around Disneyland, and these shoes withstood the test. My knee did not hurt at all at the end of the day, and the shoes had plenty of cushion to keep my feet from hurting. I'm definitely planning on purchasing a second pair as a backup! Also, I love the black and white color combination - they are beautiful shoes! Thanks for making great shoes, Hoka!

These are the best sneakers I have ever owned and I am not exaggerating. I have owned nikes, ASICS, adidas, etc., I've tried so many shoes and I am so happy I finally found something that works! I have very flat feet and use orthotics, if you are in a similar situation and need extra support I highly recommend these. I have been wearing these a few times a week for the past 3 months and they have been doing great so far. I struggle with chronic pain in my feet and have been able to walk and be on my feet longer because of these shoes. But pleaseeee make more colors!! Maybe something a little more trendy for everyday wear??? I purchased a 9.5 wide and they were true to size, I have quite wide feet and there was plenty of room.
