Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 6

I bought exactly same shoe that I got a year ago (but in 2 different colors) and it does not fit the same. I have a wide foot and high arch and I have difficulty finding walking shoes that work for me. I relied on HOKA and now I have 2 pairs of shoes that hurt my feet!

I chose this shoe among other brands since they're highly rated. I do daily walking and was hoping that my feet would appreciate the extra cushion. On my first walk with the shoe, I noticed that I couldn't really feel the comfort, and as I progressed into my walk the shoe just started to become bothersome rubbing against the inside of my sole. When I removed my shoe, lo and behold I had a blister on each foot. I didn't want to give up on the shoe, so the second time I tried them, I used them with thicker socks. Nope, didn't really add any comfort. I am giving it 3stars because I do like the style and colors of the shoe. I currently use them for doing my errands, but definitely no workouts. I bought a second pair of tennis shoes, different brand, and those are great.

Loved the fit and style of the shoes but after 2 weeks of wearing them, just form normal everyday walking the bottom tread of the shoe start to fall off . The Customer service was excellent and in less the a week I had a exchange done and new shoes.

I was hoping these shoes would improve my foot pain when jogging but not much improvement, still having issues and spent a lot of money They got dirty the first time I wore them and I can't get the stains off:( overall not my best experience. Maybe if the company would exchange for another pair different color and style it would be alright.

My foot doctor recommended this shoe. I went to a local shoe store and tried on a 8W (8D) and was delighted to find it had ample room in the width and toe area. This store only carried the grey color so I went to HOKA online and purchased the women's 8W in ALL ABOARD / COASTAL SKY. when they arrived I tried them on and they felt tight; not at all like the 8W I had tried on in the store. I tried to wear them for days and my feet hurt. Finally I removed the insole and puta half soles in the heel area. They aren't perfect but at least I can wear them with a little more comfort. I like the shoe, it is very well made and I will probably buy them again but perhaps the EE width. I'm still confused why the instore shoes were so comfortable and the online shoes were narrow.

Like the fix and stability. But part of the bottom of the shoe came off after a week of wearing them. But the customer service was great and was able to get an exchange through in less then a week .

While the shoes are very lightweight and sporty, they were far too narrow for my feet. I normally wear an average shoe width, my instep poured over the souls of these shoes.

Love the brand but cannot wear due to the fact most of the sneakers have an inner tab attached to the top tongue of the shoe that crushes my foot please get rid of this

When I first put these on, they were very comfortable. I love the look and feel of them, but for walking they are causing a blister on the insides of my heels. I have never experienced this in any shoe before. I requested an exchange for the Clifton, so I'm really hoping that these work better. Customer service and the exchange process was very easy, which makes me not worry about buying from Hoka in the future.

These are not for me. They're very comfortable when walking on a flat surface but when on the treadmill I really felt like I was on stilts. The platform was way too high and I felt so unstable. The style of the shoe is very clunky as well. I had to return them. Also the size chart is not accurate. It recommended half a size up but these are true to size.

I have chronic foot issues and this shoe did not offer enough cushion/support during standing even for a limited time period. This was a no for me. Returned. Trying out Clifton next.

I really wanted to like these sneakers. They are lightweight and plush. The problem is they make my feet hurt in ways I didn't expect. It's crazy. I use these for work where I have to do a lot of walking and standing. Please bring back the Elevons.

Nice style, but when wearing the shoes, the footbed felt like I was walking on metal rods, 2 in each shoe. It was very uncomfortable feeling, so I returned them.

The inside heal of my right shoes is very narrow causing pain in my foot. I thought that I was buying good quality shoes that would provide COMFORT and support but that is not what I have gotten from these shoes.

I purchased given the description that these help with plantar fasciitis. So far, I have not realized any benefit over my Bondi 7 HOKAs.

I ordered 7.5 W but it still feels theres a bump on the side of my feet. it's uncomfortable.

This is such a cute shoe! But I definitely wouldn't buy another pair. They are extremely light on your feet but very tight and not that comfortable. I would give it a 6/10

I love my Clifton's they are SUPER comfy, however wanted to try a different style and it was mistake, will stick to what I know, Im still not giving up, I hope they get more comfortable with more wear, since I chose to keep them past the 30 days. Start comfortable at the beginning of the day but make my feet hurt after wearing for 8m hours, not the case with the Clifton 8

I bought these shoes mostly for walking, on roads and the treadmill. The advertised support for overpronation is what drew me in, and I've heard lots of positive things about Hoka. However, these shoes are very big and clunky. They fit my feet well, but look like clown shoes. I am returning them. Also, the first time I walked ~2 miles in them, my feet were so sore and tired both during and after the walk. I can feel great structure in the shoe, and I do feel like they improved my posture when wearing them. Overall, they are decent shoes, but definitely not for me.

I did a lot of research before purchasing these shoes. My niece wanted a pair (different model) for Christmas, which I purchased for her and I asked her before buying mine if they were true to size, big, small, etc. She indicated for her, they were true to size. I received mine and they were quite tight and my feet felt squeezed. I have been wearing them for 3 weeks, and they are still tight but have loosened up some. I do not know if there is a wide option (I cannot remember), but if I buy another pair, I will select that. They do have good cushion, but I only wear them on a treadmill and to lift weights.

I did love the shoe except when I ran or walked a distance the inside of my heel would be red and sore from the added cushion built on the inside of the shoe! There was a slight slant on the inside heel to cause the irritation. I noticed it on your bondi and Clifton shoes also. I don't have a problem with other athletic shoes because there is no cushion slant on the inside of heel area. This was a wide and I don't have wide feet, but the wide provided a better box toe space. I did try the regular size on the Bondi annd Clifton and it was too tight at the toe area. The regular had the same issue with the heel on the bondi and Clifton.

While this shoes didn't work out for me Graviota 4 fit well for my feet little bit roomer toe box. The cushion in this shoe is fantastic! I'm on my feet all day up and downstairs as well as standing and walking.
