Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 5

Finally a Hoka stability shoe that feels and runs like a Hoka should. I have ran in every previous version of arahi and gaviota and the Arahi 5 feels like a cross between the Clifton and Bondi (I had to use inserts for those and that never worked). Now just make a trail shoe like this (same drop and feel)and you will win it all!! We need a Challenger or Speedgoat stability shoe!! The Arahi 5 may be the best stability shoe out there and I have tried them all.

I should get paid by HOKA for recommending people where I work to buy them

So comfortable and stable!

I can't believe I waited this long to buy a pair. They have changed my runs and I'm no longer compensating in my muscles for wearing the wrong shoes. The size guide the offered was spot on. I'll be buying a pair for my husband soon. Thanks!

I use this shoe in my total conditioning class and it is the best shoe I have used for this class so far. WE do a myriad of different exercises and the shoe handles each one great. We also run laps in this class and they are great for running too! More like a cross training shoe with good stability! Would and will buy another pair. I've owned 3 different pairs of Hoka shoes and these are the best so far for what I use them for.

I upgraded from the four to the five. I suffer from sleep over pronation, so I always purchase the ability sneakers. I've been through different types of brands and models, but they are Arahi 4, and now they are Arahi 4 (blue and red color) are the best I've ever owned. They look great, and are extremely comfortable for running and working out. I highly recommend, and I must mention that Hoka One One customer service is amazing!

I purchased the new Arahi 5 shoes about one month ago. My previous Hokas are the Bondi 7 (also amazing!). I was in need of a new pair to add to the fleet, and I wanted to try something a little less bulky this time around. The Arahi 5 is an excellent balance of stability and support, while also being lightweight. I've already put 75+ miles on them, and I'm very pleased. I'm prone to lower back aches and sciatica, and I've had zero issues since running in these shoes.

I over pronate and have a low back issue. With these, I get the stability that I need PLUS cushioning to help absorb the impact while running & on long walks.

Fit is excellent for my foot size,13.Build quality and finish are very good as my last Arahis lasted forever.

The shoes were nice and comfortable I have planters and on my feet all day shoes and sandals are great

Great running shoes especially for having low arches. Buying another pair when the size and color I want is available.

I work in a level 1 trauma center caring for patients all day. These are the best shoes ever! Like walking on a cloud!

I love this brand. They hold up so nicely and feel great on. I've gotten several family members and friends converted. I'm constantly checking to see the new colors so I can choose my next pair. Your feet are so important and need to have quality shows.

So light and comfortable. First pair I've ever bought and won't be the last.

I have tried the Clifton and the Bondi. I love the Arahi the best.

My first Hoka and first stabilized running shoe. Very comfortable and light weight for the large sole platform.

I was wearing Gaviota models for 2-3 yrs, this time I bought another pair, but also tried the Arahi, excellent choice. Stable and supportive. I think will continue with Arahi from now on. Recommended.

In fact, I bought two pair, the black and the blue. I was so excited HOKA came out in new colors in double width. These fit me so perfectly and are both cushy and stabile. I tried another style before finding these, and HOKA was super generous and efficient with my return.

I bought these for my husband for valentine's day and literally won't take them off! He loves them as much as I do and thats alot

I have been running in in the Brooks Beast 18s for the past couple of years because of my severe overpronation. Brooks decided to change the Beast's design this year so I tried rhe Gaviota 2 and didn't really care for them. I tried a few other shoes and then decided to give the Gaviota 3 a shot after consulting with my local running experts, Rock City Running. Man I'm glad I did. I've only pit a few miles on them but they are by far the most comfortable shoes I've owned recently and seem to have controlled my overpronation well. Can't comment on durability and wear but so farI love them

There're the most comfortable and stabile shoes I've ever worn..

Walking and running. A handsome and incredibly comfortable shoe, especially for someone who has run all his life and has feet with little padding,
