Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 5

Very happy with the Arahi 5. Great support for plantar fasciitis.

Love! Love Hola One One! After years of foot problems Hoka One One was a God send. They even work with my doctor made orthotics, a half size up of course to accommodate the bulky orthotics.

I have hard to fit feet and suffer from neuromas on the bottoms of each foot. These shoes supported my feet and I was able to walk 5 miles with no foot pain.

I ordered an 8 which is what I usually wear. Questioned whether they were a bit too long as they looked like they would crease. So ordered a 7.5 and this is the size I kept. I'm 68 years old and walk my dog 4-6 miles a day on city streets. I needed a comfortable and supportive walking shoe. Hoka One One was highly recommended to me. I'm very happy with the stability and support this shoe gives my feet! The only change I would make would be in the design to give it a rounder two box.

I took my Ariahi 4 off and put the new Arahi 5 on. At first, I thought it wasn't as cushy but it took only about an hour for my foot to settle in and they are perfect! The Arahi 5 is the best yet mainly because of the increased stability in the heel. I ordered Blue Fog and Lunar Rock intending to send one back. I'm keeping both ?

Compared to a Ghost Brooks shoe, the Hoka's have more arch support, more cushion and a larger toe box feel. I can put my arch support insoles in my Ghost Brooks shoes but not in my Hokas because they already have arch support built in. The padding in the Hoka shoes makes my foot rock/cradle forward in the back heel and front ball of foot area. I have a high in-step, high arched foot to where I'm walking on my heels and toes and wearing off the ball part of the tread first. The Hoka's help me roll through my steps more. If you can't afford the Hoka's make sure you have an arch support insert for cheaper shoes but if you can save up for a pair, they are really comfortable!

These shoes are comfortable and have good support. I had to go to a wide width to get a wide enough toe box, which I have never worn, so I would say they run a bit narrow. My first pair of Hokas, and I returned a different style for these, since I pronate. So far, so good.

Very cute shoe but not for people with wide feet

I have worn Asics for years and decided I need a change. When I first tried on the shoes I was unsure if I liked them. They had a different feel. However, I gave them a try on a recent trip to the mountains and I needed a good shoe. After just a short walk in them I started to fall in love. They are very stable and a nice light shoe. I wore them on and off through my whole trip. I am pleased.

These were a bit short for me. My Bondi Hokas are an 8 but I needed an 8.5 in this shoe . Nice for summer travel

I’m a big Hoka fan and find the sizing to be consistent. This is the first all gender style I’ve tried and unfortunately it was too wide. I’m an average B width but found this shoe to both look and feel wider than expected, and feel less stable laterally.

I've run in my Arahi 5 three times and so far I really like them. My only issue is that reviews I read said the regular width shoes tend to be wide so I purchased the regular width. I have a neuroma that is less painful if I have wider shoes and these are definitely not. Still, they are very comfortable on my non-affected foot. I just think I'll get wide next time.

The right shoe felt like the arch was too far back (?) hurt - - I’ve worn this brand and style ( Arahi ) for 4 years to walk - I’m 58 and 60 lbs overweight these were recommended bc of the excellent stability !I also like the Rincon, snd the Bondi ( . I wanted this color badly so I went up to a 10.5 in med width ,my last pair wax a 9.5 wide snd I love those !! They’re the absolute best fit ever! I had been getting 10 b for years but the Arahi 3 in 9.5 d is Heaven ! I cannot keep these bc only the right shoe fed oddly like the arch is behind my arch ! It’s annoying and I’ve tried 3 orthotics w no significant change. Hate that but will swap for another uglier color in a 9.5 wide ! I noticed a significant nice change in the back ankle tab, it’s super cushy ! (Next to your Achilles)I really like that but I think the Arahi 3 is still my fav
