Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 5

these shoes are perfect. I used to buy newbalance but now I am a hoka girl. :)

Love the new upper on the Arahi 5. Feels way more breathable and sinches down much better than the Arahi 4. Heel also slips on easier.

Perfect fit and feels like running on a cloud. I can't recommend the Arahi 5 highly enough.

I've got an marked over-pronation, and these just feel so right. Great balance of snug and controllable but still comfortable. I went from pretty annoying knee pain any time I ran three days in a row, to literally no longer have knee pain what so ever after using this product.... not exaggerating. It's pretty awesome.

these shoes are very lightweight and cushy. I would suggest that the tongue be just a little longer.

Hoka scores again. Keep them coming!

Fitness walking

My third pair. They do not disappoint

I got these for pickle ball. They are very comfortable and stable. Hate to take them off when we are done playing.

As a podiatrist, I have recommended many shoes to patients over the past 20+ years of practice. The Hoka brand is impressive! It has jumped to the top two brands that I recommend. Also impressive is there money back guarantee.

I love the added support and still has plenty of cushion for me

This is my 5th pair of Hoka shoes and my second pair of the Arahi. Perfect fit and enough support to prevent a recurrence of plantar facsiitis.

I love the Arahi because it is one of the only stability shoes that doesnt look like a stability shoe. I have two pairs of Gaviotas that are awesome too, but they are a bit bulky looking. Glad I found the Arahi.

I put this same story in my Mach 4 review: Before running in Hoka shoes, I would wake up every morning and hobble around until my left foot, and sometimes my right, loosened up; I've always had flat feet. First day after getting a pair of Arahi 5's and running a tempo 5k my plantar fasciitis was nearly gone. I was amazed so decided to try some other Hoka's because I didn't want to be limited to just stability shoes. The Mach 4's have the same effect and they fit my feet even better; less room in the front. It's only been a month, but I still haven't gotten used to my feet not hurting when I get out of bed. It's either the wide heel or bucket seat but it works wonders. Carbon X 2 might be next.

I have a wide foot need the extra support. Fulfills the requirement

I work on my feet for 10 hours a day 6 days a week so foot comfort is very important to me. For the past eight years I have been through many different brands and models of shoes. Some good and others not so much. After one month of my new Hoka Arahi 5's my foot pain I had been dealing with in the past has Subsided! For any issue that I purchased I buy gel inserts for big and tall men and with these I did the same as well. Even in doing that most other shoes I've worn were never at this level of comfort. Also I would like to state that the inserts that come with the shoes were much thicker and dense than any other insert i have removed from any shoe I have owned in the past. Nice Hoka One's

I use these shoes for golf, great back support.

The Arahi is an excellent shoe. I bought the wide version because I found my Cliftons to be a tad tight in the toe box. This is my third pair of Hokas. I have purchased the Bondi, Clifton, and now the Arahi. I will purchase another set of Cliftons (in wide) in a few months. I'm not likely to purchase the Bondi again. It has too much padding and put a fair amount of stress on my ankles after a 12 hour shift on concrete.

I run 15-30 miles per week, and I've only run in Arahis for the last three years. I had a brief moment when I had to buy another brand when I couldn't find them in my size (15M), and my knees and shins let me know about it. The 5 is a better evolution of the Arahi. I appreciate the higher heel tab in the back, and they feel great all around.

The stability of this shoe is great as well as it being light and comfortable. I have been wearing them to exercise in and they definitely make it more comfortable to be on my feet longer which means more calories burned. Love these shoes!!

I was a cross country & track runner in high school & college. So I know a good pair of training shoes, which for me was Asics... thats all I would buy. Now due to knee surgeries all I can do is walk for exercise/fitness. My daughter, also an xc & track runner, got me to try the Hokas... never going back!
