Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 5

The shoes feel very comfy on. Like walking on a cloud.

I first ordered the wrong size (order one size larger than you usually wear!), and I returned and received the correct size easily and quickly. I broke my left foot two years ago, and the cast and boot did a number on it. I thought I was past the worst after physical therapy and such, but after wearing the shoes for a couple of hours, there's a spot on my left foot that feels like it's being stabbed by a knife. It's getting better and better as I wear them a few hours at a time. If they improve, I will buy again. I love the way they look and feel on my neuropic feet.

I work long days, standing for long hours and theses shoes really save my feet. They're light and have great support for my heels.

Bought these for travel with lots of walking. They aren't the cutest shoe, especially in my large size, (lol), but they are very comfortable and provide good stability.

Once these break in they are very comfortable! My only complaint is that the material holds on tightly to dirt. It was a risk I took while buying bright colored shoes, but it took a few washes to just get the majority out after only a week of wear.

I just received my 5th pair of Hoka's a few weeks ago. Hoka's are the most comfortable shoe i've had. I am on my feet 8 hours a day. My only issue is the last pair I bought. The rubber on the top has broken off on the right shoe. I have recommended them to several people, just disappointed in this last pair.

The shoes fit comfortably and conform exactly to my feet. I walk about 25 miles a week in them, with no soreness or discomfort. My last pair I only got 350 miles on them so hoping for 500 with these. I only gave 4 stars because Hoka advertises free shipping but still charged me for shipping.

Great comfortable cushioned shoe. I own many HOKA shoes and boots. Problem is, HOKA seems to be making the shoe wider than they used to and that does not work for me.

I love these they are great for walking and comfortable even without breaking them in.

While my wife likes the fit, she is feels the color is a bit off from the pictures.

Not supportive enough for my routine

These shoes are comfortable and supportive for pronation but narrow even in wide width. Had to keep for 3 days on a shoe stretcher to be able to wear. Please consider an E widthwould be the perfect shoe.

Solid running shoe w great cushion and support Unfortunately one lace had a small fray upon arrival and I had to switch out laces within two weeks.

Really provided a lot of comfort on my 10-day trek across Peru

Whenever I expect to do a lot of walking these shoes have been so comfortable. I couldn't believe how lightweight they were. I have already told several friends about them.

Walking 5 mile s a day requires a good pair of sneakers, which is exactty why our walking club buys HOKAS!

I'm a huge Hoka Arahi fan, I've bought them for many years now however I haven't worked out in 2 wks because of a family vacation. The callouses on my feet aren't sore. I'm sad to say it's the shoes. These are great for my plantar fasciitis and I'm scared to make a change but it looks like that's what I'll have to do. I've worn this pair once and I have a new pair in the closet (great price).

From day 1 these shoes were super comfortable. There was no "breaking in" required! I hit the pavement and had no knee pain like I normally do. They are perfect for my long 12-hour shifts as well. My only complaint is the squeaking sound they make as the shoe compresses during walking/running. Not good for my ninja attacks as people hear me coming.

My podiatrist & chiropractor both recommended the HOKA brand for plantar faciitis & joint issues. I chose the Arahi line for comfort & stability. On my 3rd pair & love them. Only shoes I can wear now. I do not like that this latest 5 series has a "whale fin" at the Achilles tendon to pull the shoe on. It's bulky, uncomfortable & is useless in helping to pull the heel on. The pull tab/string was much more user friendly & comfortable.

I have broken both ankles and had a knee replacement resulting and am now dealing w/ IT band issues. I I have worn another brand for years... so decided to try HOKAs. They have not fixed my issues, but I feel stable and secure in these shoes. I would definately recommend them- they have seriously good arch support and are well made!

Had to purchase a regular size they didn't have the wide option. Shoe is good however feels a bit big.

My daughter wears them a nursing student on her feet during her clinical training anywhere from 8 to 12 hours

The shoes, recommended by my podiatrist, are comfortable and provide the support (with a podiatrist recommended orthotic) needed for my feet. I wish there were styles I need that don't have such a huge, clunky-looking sole. I am not a fan of the look of huge soles.

They are very comfortable to stand with but I get cramps in my foot Don't know why

Provides more support and stability than the Bondi models I have been using for the past years. Toe area more narrow than Bondi and Gaviota.
