Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 6

Walking, all around shoe

I had to get used to the lighter weight. I've had multiple pair of Bondi 6 so when I bought these they were almost too light. I've since gotten use to them. I'm not crazy about the heel tab on the back but they do go on easily. They also feel roomier than the Bondi.

I really love the Arahi. I have purchased 3-6 pairs/year for the last 2 years. I find that the ones I bought this year are much smaller in the toe box than previously, to the point I may have to size up just to be able to wear a regular sock and run in them. Colors are great this time around! Still has the same stabilizing qualities. I don't run in anything else.

I bought this shoe to wear for work and they are very supportive and comfortable.

Love the new color - fushia! The support was great but seems to be waning already. Not sure if I at or over 6months but they usually last me longer than this

I wear these every day. They fit perfect. Lots of toe room I want to buy another pair

Love the shoes, very comfortable, only problem is y neroma act up because I needed a little wider shoe.

This shoe is a little snug,so might order half size up next time. Not bothering me enough to return as thinner socks do the trick. Hoka is simply the best!

Love the way they fit without needing to be broken in. The color I wanted wasn't available in wide so I took a chance. Thanks to Hoka, I can wear these for a while to be sure they're going to be okay. They're a bit snug so I'm hoping they'll adjust a little with wear. I don't like any of the colors available in wide so I really hope these work out. Way outside my price range but I splurged because I have RA and I walk every day on asphalt. I need a supportive shoe.

I don't love how the tongue is sewn into the shoe

I started having aches both on the top and bottom of both feet. Found out my arches need more support than I have been giving them. I always liked slip-on shoes and didn't really think I would like shoes that look like this. Hokas were recommended by three different friends so I tried them. I am glad I did. My podiatrist recommended removing the inserts that come with the shoe, and adding a Power Step insert which gives my arches even more support. I am really happy with the results. These shoes make me feel a lot more stable, even when outdoors on uneven ground, like in my garden.

Found out I have A high arch and these shoes are not good for that.

They are comfortable and functional. The color is fine. What bugs me is that the footbed doesn't seem wide, but I have to bring the 2 sides SO close together with the laces that they're almost touching. To me, it looks silly - but it feels fine & they're for work. So, I'm keeping them. I love the 5 & have a couple pair.

Comfortable, good looking!

I love Hoka, and have been trying different models. This one is beautiful but still narrow to my feet. I like to have room cause I work 12 hours and at the end of the day everything is uncomfortable. So far Clifton are my favs. But Online Hoka customer service is amazing. Will definitely continue shopping from you guys! Thanks

It is very comfortable. Nice support. It has wide foot and my foot is narrow so it looks very wide. Iboughtlightblue. I should have gotten a darker color. The toe gets dirty fast.

Have used for a month for about 30 miles a week. I like that it's a light stability shoe and that it doesn't have a distinct stability bar. Would love to see in not pastels or pink. The pastel blue looked like I've owned them for years after two runs.

I just got them after trying the kawaii style and those, like another reviewer experienced, gave me HORRIBLE blisters on the inside arch of my flat feet. I love the cushion of the kawaii style but there is a definite design flaw for those with flatter feet. I'm training for a marathon and need a shoe that can deliver, and I just took these for a quick 3 miler and loved the stability (I run a mix of trails and road) and spring in my step.My legs feel great-which I loved with the kawaii as well). Another bonus is the adorable color way. They make me happy to look at, therefore easier to put on and slog my butt out the door.

First of all i am a BONDI~GIRL never wore anything else in HOKA but i liked the Color Festival Fuchsia/Ibis Rose ARAHI'S when they arrived and i put them on they were a perfect fit and very comfortable BUT my BONDI'S are a Hair more Comfy for longer Walks, LOVE THEM BOTH THOUGH IN DIFFERENT WAY'S

My first pair of Hokas which I got to replace my old Asics running shoes. Pleasantly surprised how much these suit my tricky narrow, slim feet. I will say that I got a few hot spots after the first few runs but within about 3 weeks I had no complaints, e.g. the insole has a weird lifted edge on the inside which irritated the sides of my heels, luckily it subsided with thicker socks or I would've returned. I am fine wearing thinner socks now. Great airy feel, a huge upgrade for me personally. My knees and shins don't burn these days, so I guess that's a win. Please bring in some fresh colours Hoka!

Great shoe and comfortable

I love these shoes. I consistently buy these shoes as they are comfortable and have the extra support I need due to an injury and over pronation. My only problem is they wear out in my heels quickly. Bonus for having a hard size to find. I wear 10.5 women's which is a rare size to have. So I get the best fit.
