I hate to admit that these were the 1st pair of real running/walking shoes I have purchased. I typically go to a big box store and get an inexpensive pair. NEVER AGAIN! These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had and they provide great support. Having had both a knee and hip replacement these shoes provide the support I need as well as comfort. I wear these shoes for walking as well as pickleball and the give me the support and confidence I need when moving and darting around. These Hoka shoes are my new best friend.

My husband, who has bunions and had knee replacement surgery almost a fortnight ago, refuses to wear good, supportive shoes. So I got these and shh, didn't tell him the cost. He is also adamant about not wearing shoes which look like "old man" shoes (like black sneakers with big black soles, or white sneakers with big white soles). Fair enough. I got these in the blue color (and our 17 year-old son, seeing these, said "I'd wear these," giving his dad the youth vote -- ha!) and in his usual size and in the Wide width and he is shocked how well they fit -- not too tight, no pinching, the fabric has some give so no pressure points. The soles are cushy yet supportive, and the wide base provides good, broad stability. While I can't personally attest to the fit and feel, I can see in my husband's face how surprised he is by how comfortable these are and how well they fit. Note: I have two pairs of Hoka Rincon which I *love* to wear, especially love to exercise in with my supinating (they roll out toward my pinky toes), Medium width feet. I can definitely attest to how comfy and supportive they are.

I am always reluctant to buy shoes online without trying them on but I used the shoe-finder feature and ended up with a really good shoe for me.

I'm 6' 1" and slightly over 200#. These shoes are great and the bottoms are not wearing away too fast.

I'm comparing these to my Bondi 7s which I love and use for my daily exercise walks. The Bondis are massively cushioned, I only wish I had them available when I was working in my hospital, retired now. I thought for more all around daily wear, less vigorous than a run or exercise walk, something with a little less height and cushion might be a good choice. That led me to a great local running shoe store, Feet First in Columbia Maryland. They suggested the Arahi 5. I've now had the opportunity to try various Hoka shoes and although I have a medium width foot whether measuring with a tape measure or one of those Brannock devices in the shoe stores, the standard width versions have been too cramped for me. So I've chosen wides both in the Bondi and now the Arahi and that has worked out extremely well. If you have a narrow, low volume foot the standard width should be fine but if you have a medium to wide foot I strongly recommend just starting with a 2EE.
The Arahi puts you a little closer to the ground but still has a wonderful amount of cushioning. I'm not a runner but for vigorous walking both the Arahi and Bondi are great choices, you'll just bounce more in the Bondis. For general all day wear while shopping, running errands, going to appointments, etc. I think the Arahis are a fantastic choice. I wouldn't hesitate to use the Bondis for those purposes but I'd be doing more bouncing.
Regarding ordering from Hoka, I wasn't familiar with them at all prior to a couple months ago but I did order a pair of Clifton 8s, standard width, too narrow for me. They arrived the very next day! I did send them back, Hoka makes this easy, and they refunded the purchase almost immediately. Now that I have more experience with their sizing and different models I'll likely order from them again, very soon possibly - I'm waiting for more feedback on the new Ora 2 recovery shoe, I'm looking for a comfortable lighter weight slip on with typical Hoka cushioning.

With a large, wide foot, it is hard to find shoes, especially athletic shoes in colors other than black, white or grey. These shoes are a great shade of blue, fit well and are extremely comfortable. Only comment is add other shoes with colors.

Very light weight and comfortable. Width always makes or breaks a shoe for me and these are spot on. I was surprised by how much grip they had on the road. Overall I think I've found my new running shoe.
