Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 6

This shoe does not feel as comfortable or cushioning as its predecessor.

My son convinced me to try Hoka shoes, saying they were very comfortable and light weight. They are okay but I will stay with my Brooks. I find there is no arch support, or very little, compared to my Brooks. I gave torn a tendon prior in my ankle and need the support and I just don't get them in Hoka shoes.

I used the website size recommendations based on the current brand I have. I purchased the recommended brand and they are too small. I tried breaking them in but the make my toes go numb. Very cute and would be comfortable if I had ordered my normal size.

WW is smaller than New Balance WW.

Let me start off by saying I *REALLY* wanted Hoka shoes to work for me! I ordered this shoe in a 6.5 Wide and planned to use them for treadmill and road running. I have overpronation, which was the deciding factor for these shoes. The toe-box is wonderful! Ample space for my wide toe splay and the upper is so comfortable and almost sock-like. The support and cushion is outstanding and I would have LOVED to keep these. Unfortunately, my entire foot is wide, and not just my toes. The raised inner edge of the arch and heel foam (likely for added support) hits nearly two centimeters into my arch and heel. It's like having a stick inside my shoe running down my arch. Anyway, I took them back to a brick and mortar store with a Hoka Hub and tried two other Hoka models while I was there. Both of the other models had the same problem. I do not recommend this brand for wide feet, even with a wide size.

I do like the sneaker. It is a great color and, for the most part, is comfortable. However, it does seem a bit narrow at the heel. Especially, the right shoe. Most times, my foot does work it's way in, but, a few times I have worked up a small blister. (only because I am too stubborn to stop my workout and adjust it or change to my old pair of sneakers) I was not able to try on the sneaker, before I bought it, because there is not a Hoka store close enough to me. I am hoping to gradually break it in, so, it contours to my feet.

Had to return the shoe due to it's small toebox. I've never worn a wide shoe so it's perplexing that I would have had to buy one to make it work for me.

Have had the Arahi's for years, the numbers go up and I buy the next number up. These do fit true to size. These those have a wider toe box than the 5s and seem more plush in the heel. I also go a light color and sprayed them but the way do get horrible dirty and won't wipe clean, that was disappointing. I am a nurse so stand for a long time, would always choose HOKAbut I won't get this 6 again, will wait for a 7 or try to find 5s on sale in my size.

My new Hokas Arahi 6 are not as comfortable as Bondi or Rincon but still better than other brands. I would recommend them but warn that they are supposed to be stiffer, and they are. The tie box is not as roomy as other styles tho.

I bought this shoe in 2 colors and have been very disappointed. Both pair no matter what type of sock I try, have given me multiple blisters. I would order up a 1/2 size if you are consider buying . These are the first Hoka shoes I have been disappointed with. I must have at least 8 pair as I have to wear every day due to back issues/surgeries

I love the Arahi 6. Love the look, the cushion, the colors of the fiesta/shortbread, BUT they make the side of my right foot numb. I don't have a wide foot. I've never had an issue in another running shoe. I tried a different color of the Arahi 6 in a wide and have the same numbness issue. It's like the toe box is wider, I feel like the shoe is longer, but they still make me numb and it seems to be caused by a narrowness mid foot. I don't intend to go back to Brooks or Newton's but I'm hoping the crazy width issue is resolved when the next version of the Arahi come out. For now I guess I just won't feel part of my foot?! Purchased at an authorized retailer.

I absolutely loved the color and how the sneakers cushioned my feet. Unfortunately when walking in them my toes fell asleep and were tingly the whole walk. I tried using them 3 separate times with the same result. Reluctantly I returned them for a refund.

Overall comfortable but I prefer higher arch support

They are ok not as good as the first pair I bought. I'm on my feet a lot, walking a lot but the support isn't as good . My legs feet and back hurt before the day is up. (8 hours) .

Where the tongue connects to the insole is causing blisters on my arch. Totally dissatisfied and want to return them

I love these shoes, they're so comfy and great for walking. I got them 2 weeks ago, however, and they're already falling apart. The front rubber part of the shoe is falling off and the white parts turn black where your toes hit it.

I expected to love these shoes but it has taken some time to break them in. Also they get dirty quickly but I think it's because I have a lighter color.

My physical therapist recommended these shoes for arch support and I wear them to my 12 hour nursing shifts and I actually have scabs on the top of my feet from walking in them. I've never experience that with tennis shoes before and definitely wasn't expecting these shoes to hurt my feet for the price i paid.
