Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 5

The shoe is very nice and I wear a wide and this wide is too snug, the length was perfect and would be comfortable if just a little wider.

I’ve never had to buy a wide size before in my life but these were too narrow in the toe box. They felt nice otherwise but I’m annoyed at the unclear sizing, especially since I used the Hoka size finder on their website. As for the size itself the finder was accurate—I normally wear a 7.5-8 and the 7 was the correct length.

I was hoping this was more like the Bondi but with color. Hoka is falling down on their color choices these days. BUT it has the great support I wanted, and a larger toe box. It's a good cushion but slightly less than the Bondi. All in all very satisfied. Nice color and perfect for long walks.

I have Clifton but due to the attatched tongue I thought I should try Arahi. They are similar and fit mostly well with the exception of the toe box. It was a wee bit to small so rather than risk squished toes I sent them back.

Ordered a 9 wide. The fit was a B width. Wasn't wide enough fir my bunion, but I kept it since the top stretched a bit. Very comfortable. Absorbed shock , but with diabetic feet, by 4pm I should be switching shoes. Bought these upon recommendation as I was goofkibg flat feet shoes. In hindsight, I sought have looked fir wider fit, but si much of zappos stock is gone, and good colors gone.

Hoka One One Arahi 5: 5 W fits well. It does not, however, compare to the superior support of the Hoka Bondi (5W) model. I will stick with the Bondi, now my third pair.

This fits very differently from the Arahi 3 & 4 and found my feet get very tired in this updated version.

I usually go with Hoka's because they just seem to fit me better. I've got fairly wide feet but not enough to customize the width on any shoes. I LOVED my Arahi 4 shoes from last year and assumed I could just upgrade to the new model... But these ran so tight and narrow! On top of that I felt like my feet were pronating even worse while wearing them. My feet would get numb in these shoes! If you have normal, narrow feet these are probably great, but they were not roomy like my other Hoka's.

I really wanted to love the Arahi 5. The reviews seemed amazing! Sadly they seem much more narrow than the Arahi 4. My arches felt squeezed in these and my feet were fatigued at the end of my shift. The 4 was a perfect fit for me; I could have lived in them day and night. I hope I can find some online and will buy several pairs if I can.

I didn’t keep these shoes because I wore them in the house for 30 minutes and had a friction rub where the tongue begins. I’m looking for a cushioned walking shoe and this was not it because of the rub. A pretty shoe. Just not right for me

They just seem to rub on the sides of my feet in odd spots. I was hoping I would love them but they just don’t work for me
