Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 6

I like the new shoe, but I like my Bondis better, they are quite a bit more cushy. I love the color of this shoe.

I have a collapsed arch with bone protruding and have prescribed orthodics. I've been wearing Bondis for several years with my inserts. On the recommendation of a Hoka rep I decided to try the Ahari for my next pair, mainly because of heel slippage in the Bondi. The Ahari fits nicely in the heel and across the instep. The toe box is not a high as the Bondi and I cannot use them with my inserts. As long as you don't have toe problems requiring more movement and have a narrow heel, they should be fine. That said, they are comfortable enough that I can wear around the house and when shopping,but will stick with Bondi for exercise and any walking more than a mile.

I'm on my feet all day so I need shoes that really hang in there for me. My hokas are sturdy, breathable soft, tons of arch support, but the arch reaches the outer edge of my foot which bothers me a bit. I'm hoping I'll break that part in. I got the wide and my toes are super happy! I love the wide foot bed, I have bad ankles and when I wear them I don't have to worry about random sprains

I use for general wear, not excersise or running, but they cause my feet to hurt after wearing for longer than an hour.

Great arch; less pressure on the toes and front ball of your foot

Very comfortable. I bought wide but it was i little bit too wide.

Super good for running on Asphalt. High quality. They do run small though- I recommend half size bigger. Took them in wide but they run narrow for a wide size.

Something seems different with this pair. I ordered direct and got the exact same shoes that I bought previously at a specialty running store. They just aren't quite as -luxurious feeling. Nothing that would make me return them or anything, just a little less cushiony and less bounce. They also feel a bit more narrow, but I ordered the exact same shoe. Very strange. I still like them better than any other shoes I have ever owned, but they are just not quite as nice for some reason.

These shoes have a lot of support. I have horrible flat feet, with pretty much zero arch and these offer a great deal of cushion. The look a little silly with all the sole, but they feel nice. I could have sized a 1/2 size down.

Love this shoe so comfortable!

Wish they website had more color choice. They light color that I purchased was not the color I wanted but the only color in my shoe size.

I bought the wides and they still weren't wide enough. They also hurt my feet more than helped even after doing my best to break them in.

I had to return the pair and now order a new one

All the reviews said they are true to size, but I should of sized down 1/2 as they rubbed and gave me a blister on the side of my foot.

Seems rather stiff and not as padded; wanted for walking, will keep and hopefully I will get use to the feel

I only wear Hokas. I love the fit and feel. I also love the look of this shoe. My only complaint (and I saw this prior to purchasing them in another review) is that the shoes "squeak". I have never had a pair of Hokas do this. It is like you are always walking on a wet floor. The squeak constantly.

I'd listened to my coworkers rave about HOKAs for months, but I was put off by the price. I'm so happy I finally listened! My feet have never felt so secure I haven't rolled my ankles once since started wearing them. The first time I put my feet in it felt like a hug. Definitely not a cure all for my ankle instability and tendinitis but I don't worry about injuring myself further with them on and my podiatrist approved of my purchase. Worth every penny!

I have had mine for about 2 weeks and am loving them. I struggled with a bit of pain for the first 3 days getting used to the support. Since then, they have been amazing. The only issue I have is that they show dirt. Will get darker color next time.

Was skeptical at first. Thought it was a little overhyped. Have used it for about a couple weeks feels good for a power walk around the neighborhood.

This shoe fits great. It is easy to take on and off. When I put them on for the first time, they didn't feel like new shoes, not stiff at all. Fits true to size. Very comfortable. My only issue is I wish there was more cushion on the bottom. There is the usual cushion, I just want more so I can be on my feet longer without them hurting.

I work in retail and walk over 10,000 steps daily. This is my first pair of Hokas. Someone at work suggested them to me. I will keep them but I wish they were a little more squishy to walk in. I love the variety of colors available.
