Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 5

I have numerous foot issues, plantar fasciitis, mortons neuroma, heel spur. I wanted to like the Arahi 5 but I need a little more cushion in sole. Bondi is too thick and feels unstable and has too much padding around heel. The Arahi runs half size too big. I usually wear 8.5 but got 8 Wide. They did fit perfectly but will exchange and try Clifton 8 and Carbon X. I thought back protrusion at ankle looked a bit weird but they fit/feel better at Achilles.

great shoe for walking

These are good looking shoes but I felt like Cinderella’s step-sister trying to put them on. No was was my foot going in there!

These shoes last a long time and are overall very good. First impression was that the midsole wouldn't give back too much, which is true, but it does help with shock absorption, which is essential. Provides great stability also. And for anyone who seriously wants to know about the lifespan, mine are 1400 miles in, and I think they are close to their end, however I could see taking them to 2000 if I was being little more risky. The fabric in the ankle area ripper for me after about 400 miles, but that hasn't caused any issues, nor has any other element of the shoe. So all around, this shoe will last you, and you won't regret it.

Nice shoes but definitely run smaller and have a different cut then the Arahi 4s. I prefer the 4s much more for comfort then the new series. Long time Hoka customer but leas than thrilled this time.

Not as cushy as I thought, but enough for comfort. A bit tighter at the toes than I normally prefer, but my other shoes have too much give in that area when exercising so I am hoping these will help keep my feet in place during side-to-sides

I've worn Brooks Ghost for years, and after purchasing Hoka hiking boots, decided to try the running shoes. Everything is perfect with the exception of a little bit of heel slipping. I used a slightly thicker sock, and problem was solved.

Loved these shoes, but the wide was just a little too tight on one foot, so need to return.

The size was good and the width "but" I still needed a wider width for my little toe..... I tried a insole which made it a lot better

It’s a winner when it comes to comfort, the top of the shoe is cute. But all together looks is too bulky for my taste, it’s like a croc shoe. Ugly but extremely comfortable.

The right shoe hurts the inside arch of my foot. The first day was real bad, now I it’s a little better but still aggravating
