I use these shoes on pavement, trails, and beaches for long fast walking. Yes, they are comfortable and cushion my feet well. I found I had to add a different footbed to increase the fit and comfort. On uneven terrain, I would be better off with a mid hiking boot as I found myself turning my ankles easily because of the thick soles. I'm looking forward to seeing how long they last but so far they are holding up and I would buy them again.

I am not a runner anymore, as I have knee and feet issues. This shoe relieves my pain in my knees. I wear these shoes for walking and when ill be standing for long periods of time. The are so light and give great foot support. I highly recommend these for everyone!

The cushion in the ball of the foot as well as the heel is the ticket! No more hip pain.
I bought my husband a pair too and he loves them!
I went down 1/2 size and they are perfect.

Fit is good, cushion is good, and stable for walking. Would like to see shoes with velcro closures.

These are my fifth pair of Hoka's shoes. I bought my first pair based on the need for a pair of shoes that might lessen an Achilles issue i had with other shoes (ASICS, Nike, Reebok, Brooks). Not that those caused my issue they just wouldn't hold up to an active lifestyle. I still use the first pair for yard work.
Hoka's are comfortable, light, and I have less Achilles pain after activities wearing them.
I'm a BIG fan. I'm 56, 6' 1" and 210-220.

I wear the shoe for power walks 3-4 times a week. It's comfortable, well cushioned and is durable.

Really happy with these. They're light and comfortable and definitely offer good arch support. I also like that the understated color.

This is my first pair of HOKA shoes. (Hoka One One Arahi 5). I have heard others say how comfortable they are, so I finally decided to splurge and get a pair for myself. I am a professor and I teach residents. Often, I can be on my feet for 4-8 hours per day and I notice a great deal of foot/knee fatigue. I have had bilateral medial meniscus tears from a previous life playing sports so I am concerned about additional trauma to my knees.
From the minute I put these on until the end-of-the day, I was more comfortable than I have ever been in a pair of shoes. These shoes have exceeded my expectations. I cannot comment on longevity of the shoes nor can I opine about running in them since I just started wearing them and do not run anymore because of my knee injuries. However, I highly recommend these shoes to anyone who is routinely on their feet for long periods of time.
I rarely take the time to write a review, however, I know how much I appreciate someone else's experience so I am providing my thoughts. Especially when I am so pleased about my decision to purchase these shoes.
Best, RT

The best running shoe I've ever purchased. I've sworn off other brands after this purchase. Already looking to buy my next pair of HOKAs!

My first Hoka shoes were Bondi 7 because a coworker recommend it. I'm 5'2" and the cushion on the Bondi was very extreme for my frame. I decided to try the Arahi 5 and bingo: I found my perfect shoes! Stability and just the perfect amount of cushion for my 8 hours shifts at a local hospital thanks Hoka!

Fit is excellent, very comfortable shoes. I've bought quite a few Hoka's and this is the 3rd Arahi I've owned. The shoes are excellent for support with a firm sole that helps quite a bit with toe pain I otherwise have in other shoes.

Awesome stability sneaker, you really don’t feel the stability J Frame integrated in the soles. They are a little bit firmer than the Clifton7s, and have the same stack height, the upper has nice breathability. Even if you don’t need a stability sneaker these are a good alternative to the Clifton7s.
