Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 6

It comes with laces

I have owned 2 pair of the Arahi 5 and found the fit good and the shoes comfortable. Unfortunately, the Arahi 6 doesn't work as well for me. I'll start by saying I am not a runner because of bad knees, but I walk a lot so cushioning tends to be the feature that is most important after the fit of the shoe. I want to feel a comfortable buffer between feet and pavement but also prefer a sole that has some spring to it. The Arahi 5 worked great but I find the cushioning on the 6 too cushy - it feels like I sink into the shoe when I walk and walking feels more effortful. However, I can also say that these shoes fit great right out of the box, which is not common for me, and they're very comfortable for standing or walking around inside. I also like the stability they provide. I do plan to keep them, I just wish they felt better for longer walks.

These are tighter then the 1st Hoka's I bought.

I purchased a pair of Hoka Arahi 6, women's size 9-1/2. I previously had purchased Arahi 2 and feel that it was a better constructed shoe. This pair of shoes fits tighter and seems to be shorter for the same size. Also I do not care for the new tongue construction. I prefer for the tongue to be movable and adjustable.

I got regular because they were sold out of my size in wide. They are so comfortable at first but there isn't much wiggle room and after 8h traveling my toes were bruised. I really wanted to love them. I got lots of compliments tho!

I decided to order an Arahi 6 pair of running shoes through the website and got a promotion for expedited shipping. I went ahead and ordered only to realize that they charged me for it. I contacted customer service and they wouldn't honor their discount even though its their promotion. The customer rep (Toni) kept asking for a discount code that I of course didn't save. I had to access again with my IPAD and take screen shots to prove that I wasn't lying. They ended up reimbursing me but not until product was delivered. Whoever is in charge of customer assistance is definitely not doing their job. Worse online shopping experience ever!!! From now on I'll just take my business to an actual brick and motor retail store.

I was disappointed that this pair of Arahis fit larger than my previous Arahi6.

There feels like a hard plastic on the inside. It would dig into the arch. These are supposed to have arch support but shouldn't be that hard or uncomfortable

I wear a size ten. My toe is up to the front of the shoe and these feel like I need to go wide with these. So sad that there is no wide width or larger size available. :(. Will try Hoka when I find a style/color combo I like again.

While I'm sure these are fabulous shoes, the size was not true to fit. I also ordered a pair of Bondi's at the same time, both size 8. The Bondi's fit perfectly and feel perfect, while this pair felt tight and smaller. They are being returned. I will absolutely be buying another pair of the Bondi's though

I previously had the Bondi 8, but found them too bulky to run AND they gave me calluses on both big toes. I got the Arahi for running/walking and used Shoefinder. I needed a sneaker with generous padding (due to my weight and previous metatarsal issues), that corrects for overpronating and keeps plantar fasciitis at bay. A tall order, I know. The Arahis were perfect in every way except that the back left heel was getting rubbed wrong in a few places and finally after one run, my heel was all cut up. So disappointed because I felt these shoes otherwise handled my many foot issues!

I am a very active mom of 2 so I am always on the move. My podiatrist actually recommit his company as the sneakers are best tailored for my feet I.e. flat feet and other issues when walking long distances. Love how they look on me for sure and love the style but still getting a hang on them as they are tight at first fit but the start to loosen and hurt less. So far so good!

I have bought the reference Clifton 9 and the Bondi 7 and they are very comfortable for my feet. good support. I walk a lot and spend many hours on my feet.

They make a sound when I walk. Comfortable but the noise is annoying

The shoes look good and fit well, but when I take walks my legs feel heavy and achy where they didn't with previous walking shoes. Not sure what's going on, but I'm not crazy about them.

I ordered a wide & they weren't wide enough & they were very right on my heel. I think they wud be a good shoe other than that.

I was convinced to buy a pair of these from a couple of coworkers. I have plantar fasciitis and low arches. My concern was that there was little or no arch support, I had been reassured that I would love these and they would be "life changing". They've proven to be subpar at best. Nothing exceptional but definitely not the worst shoes I've bought. I have more pain with these than with my sketchers. I will say sizing was super easy, and these are true to size.

This is my second pair of Hokas. The first pair was like a dream. These are "okay" but much tighter in the toe box and top of foot than I had hoped. I am using longer & looser laces to improve comfort so they work. I won't purchase this same style next time.

Great for my short and long runs.
