Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 6

I had such high hopes for these. Everything was perfect except the width. They are not wide at all. I had to send them back they hurt too much.

I love the style of this shoe. I ordered my regular size in running shoes. They felt comfortable and have lots of cushion. What I didn’t like was how the toe area puckered in an odd way. If I’m going to spend this much on comfort (I don’t run, but walk) I expect better quality overall. I’m picky. What can I say?

I wanted a wider toe bed so I did order a size larger. They have been perfectly comfortable. I love the color!

This Arahi 6 version has the fit, style, and comfort I count on from Hoka. The shoe tongue is a little short which is why I gave it (4) stars but the foot insert accommodating shape of the heel is there, (rust) and (olive) colors could be new women's color additions in future. These Hoka's are very flat footed and orthopedic challenge friendly, great!

After wearing the Gaviotas for the last year, I was looking for the same plush comfort but a slightly different feel. I tried the Bondi and and Arahi, and fell in the love with the Arahi feel. They're lighter than the Gaviotas and overall feel like a glove for my feet. I thought I had finally found my new fave running sneaker. I am not sure if it was just the pair I received, but the bottom rubber gets SO slick when wet, I fslipped and fell TWICE in these. The first fall, I slipped in my building going down the stairs. I chalked it up to everything other than the sneakers but last night I again slipped and fell on the sidewalk walking home from a casual errand in light rain. The bottom of the soles literally glided over wet surfaces not to mention a horrible loud sound walking anywhere wet. This was not my experience at all with the Gaviotas. I am in love with how these sneakers feel both walking and running so decided to exchange for another pair of Arahis to see if its the Arahi sole or just that one pair. Fingers crossed they work out because no other Hoka feels like these on my feet. I could literally get a running start in these and glide down the city sidewalk when wet. That is not normal, so I am convinced it is an anomaly. Everything else is so perfect and I love these sneakers.

The size itself seemed to be good but the toe box was so tight that it hurt my feet and I had to take them off. Does this shoe come with a wider toe box?

Perfect
