Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 6

I bought these for work. I spend of my day on my feet. I have flat feet but especially on my right foot. I'm usually a 9.5, but I read read the other reviews and decided to get a 10 wide. The Arch is a little too high for me and my feet after an hour or 2 of work.

I really liked the design but they're just too narrow for my foot and ended up hurting my feet.

Shoes could use extra cushioned soles for shock absorption. My feet are numb after walking two miles. Shoes are lightweight unlike my Brooks ghost shoes.

I have been wearing Hoka Arahi sneakers for quite some time and in the past I was able to get 6-7 months of wearing them everyday to walk and to work (podiatrist) but the last 2 pairs I have gotten have lasted no longer then 3 months. The heel counter wears down and the traction is lost pretty quickly. I am not wearing them any differently or putting more mileage then in the last. I even tie and untie my sneakers to put them on and take them off. Very disappointed in the loss of quality in the material.

They are okay wearing here and there if you are not going to be on your feet for 13 hours a day, but if you are and you require an actual wide shoe you may need something a little different.

Stiff

This shoe was beautiful but after wearing just one day I had blisters on the side of both heels. They seem to be very narrow in the heel area. I was extremely disappointed after spending over $100 on a pair of sneakers and getting just one use out of them.

I have quite a few pairs of Hokas and was in need of a wide pair to wear daily due to my Morton's Neuroma. Unfortunately, the Arahi is not as wide as the Clifton, Speedgoat or Bondi. I was very disappointed and wish I had not paid for expedited shipping. I will have to stick to Bondis and Speedgoats, which is not easy since most of the colors offered don't match very well with anything.

First time trying these shoes out. First shoe to give me blisters since high school.

Love the look

Decently comfortable shoe, but stiffer than advertised. Not enough arch support for my flat feet. Will be going back to my nike zooms.

I love Hoka! I usually buy the Bondi but wanted to try a different model so decided on the Arahi 6. Love the color! But they are too narrow for me so I am unable to run in them. I could probably tolerate for shorter runs but anything over 3 miles they aren't comfortable. Definitely will stick to Bondi.

My latest pair definitely isn't as comfortable as my last two pairs. I would love to exchange for a different pair of the same shoes

I got these as everyday walking/kick around shoes. I have a pair of Bondi 7s which I use only for walking and there is a difference. The Arahi 6 aren't as cushy and are uncomfortable after standing or walking for extended periods. I took them on vacation recently and I had to take them off in the car after being on them for a while. The support doesn't feel as firm as the Bondi 7. Based on the reviews I thought this would have been a great companion choice for the Bondi 7. To me, they are just a tiny step above the Nike brand. They do not cause excessive heel pain, but my knees and back will ache after some time. Not as bad as the Nikes but enough to warrant a break. I'll take these over Nike, but would not purchase again.

I returned these because I ordered my regular size and they were not wide enough.

Casual everyday wear, l am not a runner., love color and how lightweight they are on your feet and this is where the but comes in right shoe feels good but can only stand the left shoe for a few hours before it begins to bothers me as I have some nerve damage from an ankle replacement. I was so hoping this would be the shoe I couldn't live without, but they are collecting dust in my closet.

I LOVE hokas. I have had 2 pairs of Clifton's that I absolutely loved. I also have Carbon Xs that I love. This is my first time trying the Arahi and I don't love them as much as the Clifton's. I think I personally prefer softer soles with less structure.

Comfortable, cute and sturdy feeling but I'll most likely will still need to buy an insole insert for arch support. Soles feel very flat.
