Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 5

My Husband loves these shoes.

My first Hoka purchase. Took a chance ordering on line.PERFECT !

I stand on my feet all day and these shoes are amazing!!!

Perfect fit. Comfy. Wish sole threads last longer (mine weared within 3 months especially at the ball)

Very soft, I like the shoe, and am coming from the Arahi4. I do like the V4 better as the cup around the rear of the shoe grips your heel better. I was apprehensive on buying this pair as I only ran 130 miles on my V4's when the harder sole surface came apart from the cushioning on the bottom of each shoe. I definitely pronate, but not so bad that my running store recommended the Gaviota. At 190 lbs, and pronation, I wore through the soles on the V4 quickly. Hopefully I get more miles out of these, and purchased them at last year's model discount.

Use for walking with fused ankle. Not as good stability as the 4.

Nice and lightweight. No the Hoka cushioning I've gotten used to.

This is a comfortable shoes, I have plantar fasciities and this is one of the few shoes that works for me.

Better heel support

They gave me blisters at first but after the first week they were completely broken in and extremely comfortable. Would recommend to anyone who walks/runs daily.

These are by far the most comfortable shoes I have ever purchased, BUT they do not last long. I've have mine for about three months and the soles are worn pretty good. These are definitely not made to walk 6 miles a day is a warehouse setting on concrete. These are not exposed to any chemicals just walking on concrete. Again these are the best shoes for comfort. Would recommend and will purchase again.

I'm using them as a soccer official on turf fields. So far very comfortable, a bit softer than expected, since I have been using ASICS Kayno's. Overall a comfortable shoe, stability for persons over 190 lbs is a bit lacking!

Great, wide shoe for a wide foot.

This seller is great to deal with and they are very accommodating if a return is necessary. The tongue on the shoe needs to be longer and more padded.

You need more styles men and women

For some reason this shoe doesn't fit like my other arahi that I purchased a couple of months ago. Same model, different color.

The shoes are excellent and light. Amazing combination of stability and low weight. The shoes were shipped an hour from where I live. It arrived two weeks after ordering because UPS wanted to give the shoes a taste of a couple of neighboring states as they shuttled back and forth and finally arrived. Hope to put a lot of miles of a different kind on these wonderful shoes now.

Not wide enough..

I purchased two pair of Hoka shoes. The Araha and The Clifford. I have tried both shoes around the house and I cannot seem to tell much difference between the two. I actually like the look of the Cliifford little more than the Araha but the Araha may be slightly more comfortable. The fit is very true. I wear a 9.5 medium and both shoes fit perfectly. I can sense a small amount of pressure on my instep on the Clifford or my decision would be made. I have high arches so a high Instep should be better for me. Both shoes are great looking, both feel comfortable but I give a very slight edge to the Araha.

Terrific fit and feel. Well balanced and comfortable. Padded but not too padded.
