Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 6

great support but not crazy about the looks.

Haven't had them long enough to evaluate if the will hold up to my routine

I love Hoka shoes for their comfort and stability (broken my ankles five times....). But for the second pair in a row, within a month or two holes developed on the outside back of the heel. I do have bones that stick out a bit on the outside of my ankles/heels, but I do not know that those are abnormal.

I tried two different Hoka shoe styles and they were both too tight in the toe box. They irritated a bunion I didn't even know I had until I wore them. I was very disappointed because they were so darn comfortable otherwise. I would have tried a wide size but the rest of my foot is very narrow. Went back to the Asics I had been wearing.

I love the way the shoes fit and feels but the left shoe sole squeaks when I walk. It is internal in the sole because it even squeaks on grass or concrete. Make this expensive shoe seem a bit cheap.

This shoe feels great running, but the upper hurts my toes after prolonged wear. I selected a wide size to accommodate my wide foot, but somehow my pinkie toes were still pinched. I don't normally have this problem.

Very light, but not quite enough support for a severe overpronator.

I usually wear Extra wide but I wanted to try a Wide for a change of color since Extra wide shoes are only grey and black. Wide in the same size doesn't help and my feet hurt. I will still recommend Hoka to anyone!

Walking/jogging. Wear is already quite noticeable on heal. Also, white sides get dirty fast and hard to wipe clean due to ridges

My first pair of Hokas took about a week to get broken in. Like the headline suggests, these are my first pair of Hokas. While the heeldrop and extra cushioning were nice compared to my previous running shoes I got blisters pretty easily on the medial part of my heel the first week. I love how comfortable they are and they look great. I don't know if it's my walking/running pattern but they are wearing out in some weird areas around the outsole. I've also noted some stitching coming apart where the upper meets the midsole. I will probably by another pair when these get worn out.

Really like the shoe, but on mine the supports attached to the inside of the shoe upper spectated from the body of the shoe and kept rolling up causing blisters

I usually don't rate or comment on products, however this is the exception. I loved the Arahi 5, so when it was time to upgrade seemed like a no brainer to purchase the Arahi 6. Unfortunately it's slightly more narrow especially in the toe box. I constantly get cramps in the third and fourth toe that radiates up the metatarsals, cuts off blood supply to my pinky toe. Overall a poor design. I was hoping after a couple of months they would break in, but I just can't stand the pain any longer. Tried the Arahi 7, even worse, thankfully those didn't make it out of the store with me.

Purchased for 12-hour RN shift. Knee started hurting me after 10 hours.. Co-workers mentioned I may have to break them in. Just not sure it's worth trying them again during shift. I was hoping these would work as it's difficult to find comfortable shoes for nursing shift/demand.

Purchased these and in a matter of 2 months the insole material began to wear and the outer rubber area paint started coming off in 4 months. Mind you, I wear these 4x a week for an hour. Not heavily used by any means. Save your money.

In less than a year the inside back heel of the shoe is already destroyed. Normal wear (just walking). In comparison, my older (5+years) other brand shoes are intact with no problems in that area. I love the Arahi 6 color that I got and everything else about them, my problem now is that the same colors or even model aren't available anymore, what now. Another problem is sending my shoes for evaluation, you're telling me I'll be without my everyday shoes for who knows how long. Major inconvenience. Since I didn't buy them directly (yes, auth. Dealer) I guess my opinions would be less optimal and shipping will cost me each way.

I strtaed using the gaviltas and moved to this more affordable model. I have hd no real issues with it but this new pair i am using is not giving my knees the support they used to. Not sure if this is just a faulty pair or what. I will probably be more cautious next time and may end up going back to the gaviotas. Although the last time i used them inhad the same issue i am having now.

It's been only 8 months since I purchased them and I use them just for my daily use, not even for running. I don't do anything extreme with them. I think they are the most comfortable shoes I ever had BUT the left pair has some fading going on on top. I never misused them, I didn't wear them under rain, I didn't use any chemicals etc on it to clean and we never get super sunny days here in San Francisco! It baffles me why the left shoe would start fading and the right one wouldn't! It can't be due to weather because then both of them should fade. I'm a little disappointed that after paying so much money for it, the fabric started to fade before even using it for a year! I chatted with customer service and sent a photo of it showing the fading and asking if this would be covered under warranty but he wasn't sure. I don't want to go through the expense of sending it for warranty inspection only to be rejected, and then potentially having to pay for return shipping too! I wish Hoka had local places where we could drop of the shoes for this inspection. As a consumer, I do strongly believe that this should be covered with warranty as like I said, only one pair has fading, not both, and it's not even a year that I purchased them. I would expect higher quality material for shoes at this price range.

Shoes look good but are a bit tighter than expected. Initially they felt ok but as I've worn them the top of the shoe doesn't feel right and I've had to really loosen the laces a good deal to o feel comfortable. First shoe that I've purchased with this issue.
