Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 5

These tennis shoes are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. My feet don't hurt and I've been able to wear them for hours.

Very lightweight and comfortable. My new favorite shoes.

I finally got a pair of Hoka shoes. I was waiting for grape to come back in stock but ending up getting a pair of black Arahi 5s. I put them on and I was amazed that they felt great. I did not have to break them in. I hit the treadmill and my feet felt light and fast with so much cushion. I tend to get blisters on my heels and I have tried many different shoes. These do not cause blisters. They are definitely worth the money. I will be buying them from now on. I hope they make them in grape soon.

I love these shoes and own several pair, I like the update on the heel, the lip edge is great to grab in place of the loop.

Great shoe and support.

My Achilles tendon is encumbered when I run with shoes outfitted with a rear tab. Walking for exercise in these shoes are great but I will need an entirely low-profiled shoe to do any running in it. Despite this, the shoe is well-cushioned and comfortable for long walks.

I purposely bought this shoes for my long standing shift, and it really comforts my feet from the pain. I don't know for anyone else, but I purposely bought a size up from my other shoes for this one, and I haven't felt the size was too big for me. It rather worked better then being tight on my feet, so I recommend to go a size up if you plan to wear this for a working place where you have to move around a lot. Although, the shoes are easy to slip on wet floors.

They are comfortable but the arch support isn't enough. Seems only one or 2 brands out there make shoes with a high enough arch support for me. Will have to get insoles to make these work in the long term.

Great shoe. My 8th pair in 4 years. The only reason for 4 and not 5 stars is way too many email follow ups. Someone needs to turn the frequency down from daily to maybe twice a month.

Part of the outside came unstitched after only a week.

Great running shoe.

This one was cheaper than the one-one that I had before, but it showed. This shoe is not as "bouncey" as the other one. Definitely like the HOKA shoe but not this particular model.

"Stability, comfort, endurance, and quality" is all I need to say about this shoe! In the gym and at work, this shoe gracefully handles it all!! Best shoe ever!

I had foot surgery recently. I have to be extremely careful with my foot. Hoka shoes are great for my feet. If there is one thing that I could change, it would be color choice. Since I have to wear athletic shoes all the time right now, I would like some soft, low-key color choices.

I use these shoes for walking. I needed to add an additional insole to raise my ankle bone higher than the shoe, a problem that I was told by a running shoe salesperson has been a problem for other women too.

Forefoot area less cushioned than my previous Bondi's but still better than most athletic shoes.

This was a good shoe but not enough cushion for my feet.

I am a missionary in Guatemala and spend a lot of time on my feet! This shoes keep my feet very comfortable and pain free! My only complaint is they are a little narrow in the toes. They were easy to break in and became comfortable quickly!

I have just started wearing my Hokas but on the first 4 mile walk, they were cushiony and comfortable. My only beef is that the laces are pretty short. I do where a wide, so maybe all the laces are of the same length.

On my feet all day at work. Comfortable shoe to wear for long hours. However, my feet still aches in them. Thought for a sneaker so expensive and made for people who work on their feet for long hours my feet wouldn't feel the same as they do in a $30 pair of shoes.

I ordered the regular width first and they were too narrow to be comfortable on my arches. The shoe is very cushioned, but pressed and rubbed my arches too much. I exchanged them for a wide width and those are only slightly wider. Still too narrow on the arches to be comfortable. I like the cushion and sturdiness of the shoe, so I am going to try and take the insoles out and replace them to see if that helps with the arch discomfort. I was just hoping that for the price I wouldn't have to modify them to get them to work.

I had been putting off buying these because of the price. I got them on sale but it is still more than I usually pay for sneakers but I do love them. The toe box is a good size. I've been wearing them for a month and I walk about 7 miles a day so I am hoping they last.

I bought this style Arahi 7 Hoka along with the Bondi 5 because of suffering from plantar fasciitis. I was taking a chance on this style as the Bondi 5 was recommended more for my issue. I am happy to report that this shoe, using a Superfeet insole with it, is feeling pretty good, so much so that I was able to take my morningwalk (2.0 miles) this a.m. I am thrilled.

Good all around shoe for walking, shopping & around the house & yard. this is my 2nd pair of HOKA shoes. Not complaining, but I like my Gaviota 4 better. I can feel the difference around my ankles. I need stability & the Gaviota 4 offers more of that & is more plush. I switch back & forth between the 2.

While it is intended to be for running, I have found this design to be very stable and well performing during cross-training and other activities outside of running. It alleviates the impact on your feet and really helps your feet and ankles feel supported. Would recommend and would purchase again.
