This shoe style has been discontinued, so with few available to purchase I was trying to fit into a smaller size. They're great stability shoes when they fit correctly.

It was true to size. Nice material. But the arch support is less than what I expected.

These were nice but I felt a weird hot spot on the outside of my heel. They run smaller than other Hoka styles. They also were less soft and light - likely due to the stability.

I need a shoe for long walks due to plantar fasciitis and overpronation and this looks like it will work. However, it is ugly and clunky. The white sole is less than appealing. It is NOT waterproof which would be a huge plus. It may de the job but wish the design and features were sleeker and improved.

I was in LOVE with these shoes for the first two months I had them. I would wear them on my daily 30-minute walks and occasionally out to run errands. They are so comfortable, offer amazing support, and look great! However, they started falling apart only 3 months after purchasing them. Now, four months after purchasing, they're unwearable. I would hope for more longevity in such an expensive product.

These shoes were a dream come true. I have a lot of medical problems with my feet and back and these shoes made such a difference. The downside is they started falling apart less than a year after purchase. I was hoping after paying this much that the shoe would last longer. Disappointing

I bought the Arahi 6 because I love the 5 so much. Ordered the yellow color and it was even better in person. However, this model is giving me blisters on the inside of my heel. Never had this issue with the 5. I don't know if my heel is rubbing against the insole or what but I google it and apparently others have had this problem as well, some said they thought the heel was more narrow in the 6. I don't know what the problem is but it's a real bummer!!!

I nearly always wear size 8.5, but this style pinched my outside toes. I returned them via a physical Hoka store, in order to try on some other styles in both regular and wide width, but their stock was next to nothing in women's wide width. Call ahead if you are going into a store to try on, otherwise you may be wasting your time. Now I'm taking another gamble ordering a different style in a different size (sigh).

I don't have wide feet but these were so narrow. Tried loosening the strings, still felt like my foot was hanging over the sole. Can't imagine wearing with wider feet or bunions. Also agree with other reviews that the tongue seems short.

Filling out the sure fit info is difficult for the following reasons.
As a 7.5 it seemed right.
The width though was narrow at the middle of the foot while extra wide around the ball/toe area.
The arch support was just too much for me. It pushed high up into my arch making the shoe tight & somewhat uncomfortable.
I did very much like the look of the shoe so I’m really upset about the fit. My ortho Dr recommended the HOKA as a good option for me with my foot issues. I will have to try another shoe I just really don’t know which to try? _

Shoe box too narrow. Pinches little toe even though bought a half size larger than normal.

I wear a size 7, but I couldn't even get my foot in the size 7 of this shoe. Also, the tongue of the shoe is sown in.

I love these sneakers but was very disappointed that I ended up with a hole in the toe 4 months after purchase. They are too expensive for that to happen.

It seemed like the arch support was in the wrong place for my foot so it hurt when I tried on. I returned it and purchased the Clifton style which fit my foot better.

These are my third pair from Hoka, and my first of this style. I wear Hoka because I have problems with my feet specifically my left foot and knee. Having said that, these fit totally differently than my first two pairs (one was Bondi 8, the other Gaviota 4). These are a much closer fit--not necessarily uncomfortable but snug, and they really support my ankles. Although they are taking a bit to get used to, the truth is I walk much better in these. I'm glad that I kept them.

I love this brand and have several pair in this size. The wides are too wide and I usually do okay with the regular width but these gave me a blister. I wore these on a trip to Salt Lake City and ended up wearing my Bloodstones even though there was little snow.
I'd also recommend:

They're alright, they work. I was expecting more comfort and for them to be just out of this world.

I usually just go walking in these shoes, I have a lot of feet problems so they are just ok for me but for other they would probably be great.

I love everything about these shoes except the toe and instep blisters I get. The shoe is responsive and gives an extra pep to my step on distance runs. I've tried changing out insoles, but still get the blisters.

My wife had several pairs of this same model in yellow. I ordered a different color because yellow wasn't available. These purple Arahi 6 bother her feet because they are narrow.

Hoka is definitely the brand for me. So sad to send these beautiful shoes back because they are so narrow. I chose this particulare shoe for the color and tread but its so narrow unlike the bondi 7.
