Love this color but unfortunately have to return-very narrow toe box and seem half size too small.

Though a good width in the toe and heel areas, the body of this shoe had a narrow fit. I could feel the seam under my foot when walking. Great support overall and likely good for a narrower foot. I am a B width.

They do help with knee/ankle support but I have to send them back after a month or so. I can feel the rubber grooves under my heels

I took the quiz to determine the best shoe to try. The result was Arahi 6 but I later learned that Arahi 6 is a stability shoe which I do not need as I have a neutral gait and no pronation issues. I find them uncomfortable for this reason and will be returning. I have been wanting to try Hokas fora long time, but wish that the quiz on the website more accurately guided me towards which shoes to try.

I loved Arahi5. It fits well, is stable, and cushy! But I didn't like that cantaloupe color I bought so I gave them away and ordered Arahi6 in all black. I loved the look, but it was 1/2 size smaller. I was a bit bummed since I didn't have a size problem with Arahi5. It was annoying to return and reorder but I did it. Size fit right but I noticed the cushion and stability are not good at all :( It's not plushy at all. I had to return and order something else from another brand.

I loved my Arahi 5's so much- so I was very optimistic about ordering the new model. They look beautiful- the color and styling is so nice. But I was so disappointed. They just didn't feel as comfortable, and there is a hard ridge on the inside instep that I know would cause problems if I did any serious running in them. Returned them.

I really like the support. I’ve worn the Arahi 5 in 9.5 W and Arahi 6 fuchsia in 9.5 W I loved them, they fit great. Unfortunately over the last year or so the sizing has been off for several Hoka lines. They are getting longer and more narrow. I don’t mind a tighter fit in my mid foot & heel, but narrowing the toe box, is a big no for me! I really hope they reevaluate their sizing method, and stop squeezing the toes.

I have mildly wide feet and ordered the wide. Don't usually get wide shoes but thought I'd try. They are still tight. And are as great feeling as everyone says. They are ok and very expensive at yhat

I like the Arabic 6 but they rubbed my heal where I got a blister.

The left shoe fit great. The right shoe felt weird under forefoot and the arch placement was off. I had to return them. I usually have very good luck with Hoka, I guess the Arahi is not for me.

I was told to but these for plantar fasciitis that I suffer from. My Brooks have worked better on my feet than these.

I've ordered another style in the past and the fit was perfect. Didnt know that the Arahi was a bit narrower and that I had to order a wide maybe.

The shoes are a great fit but I am disappointed that the plastic pieces underneath the shoes are starting to peel of on both right and left shoe.

Hoka Arahi wide is not wide enough in the fabric section above the pinky toe. It's too tight and hurts. Please change your wides so there is more room there.

They look great but unfortunately where the arch support met the side of the shoe was a seam and it rubbed and so I sent them back.

Even after applying two coats of water-proofer and stain repellant, these shoes looked awful after one wear of road running. My fault for ordering this color, but it was the only one that they had in my size that wasn't blue or crazy. Also, I feel like they aren't as supportive as they were in the past. This is probably my 8th pair of Hokas, and I love them, but these just don't seem as great as usual.

I've always heard nothing but amazing things about HOKAS, Ali had pretty high expectations. The shoes I got weren't quite as comfy as I hoped, and they gave me some decently bad heel blisters after a week or two. I still like them, but they're just another shoe whereas I was expecting a higher level of comfort and quality.

These shoe are comfortable, but they sound like I'm walking in wet shoes. Its really an annoyance. I'll go back to using a different model.

Bought this shoe because it offered a more subdued color pattern. Rubbed a blister on the inside of my heels my first wear. Nowhere near as comfortable or cushioned as my Clifton 9s. Will stick with my Cliftons for exercise. Sadly these left me underwhelmed.

I've never worn a wide shoe before but my foot felt like it was muffin topping over the inside arch. That's never happened before!
I returned them and am now awaiting the wide version in the color I chose.
Yay!
I'll update this when they arrive!

Love the Hoka Arahi 6, EXCEPT for the Grape Wine/Berrybeauty. I ordered the 10 thinking they'd fit better than my 9.5 and they're exactly the same size. I own several pair in other colors and the materials the Grape Wine/Berrybeauty are made with are completely different - very stiff sole and outer material.

In June I ordered Bondi 8 shoe and found I didn't like the feel of it. I exchanged them for Arahi 6 as I have had two pairs of these before. I just started to wear them to break them in for the Clearwater RNR half marathon in October. I find that the laces are simply too short.....I can tie them, but barely. Not sure what happened to this design or perhaps it is just my shoe. I texted customer service yesterday and was told Hoka does not carry replacement laces and there really isn't a solution for my issue. Not a happy customer. I do have pictures of my previous Arahi's and this new pair, and the difference is obvious. It is a great shoe though.....
