Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 6

I have worn Arahi's for years - my favorite shoe. These were definitely less supportive.

Black laces on these super expensive shoes are torn after only a handful of wears.

I have supination when i stand walk and these shoes make it worse. Not best shoe for me and spent a lot of money unfortunately. Try on shoes in store for sure next time.

The shoe was too narrow for my feet they said it was a wide they were wrong

I bought these for a trip I was taking because I would be doing a lot of walking. I found them to not be as supportive as advertised. Not happy with my purchase,

Sorry for the low mark but the shoes were not right for me. I ended up returning after giving them some time and ended up starting to get a blister on my heel. They just weren't the right shoe/fit for me.

I returned these shoes, I bought them because they were highly recommended by orthopedics for a plantar fasciitis issue. The first 3 hours at work were fine, afterwards the side of both of my feet hurt so bad, the pain was unbearable, walking was a nightmare. However, if they worked for you be blessed. Not a good experience.

I'm unclear how, but this "regular" width shoe for this Arahi 6 was waaaay too narrow. I just bought a pair of Gaviotas at roughly the same time, from another vendor, same size/width, and they were comfortable. Putting them on with not even a thick sock (tried two different ones) made the shoes feel about 2 sizes small (the toe space length was fine). No socks, still uncomfortable. I thought maybe if I walked in them around the house they may stretch, but they are too uncomfortable to leave on long.

I would suggest buying from a retailer not on line so you can find the correct fit. Mine hurt my feet.

I have flat feet and I over pronate. Due to this, I was hoping that these shoes would provide stability whilst also giving mea smooth ride. I loved how the shoes do absorb the impact very well. I liked how responsive they were. What I found I could not handle is the over correction of the shoe. Not even a mile in the shoes and the overcorrecting caused a tremendous amount of stress on the soleus tendon. My calfs had to work harder and it was not enjoyable at all. I really wanted to like them but I hope I can find something that suites my needs better.

I love HOKA, however; this is not a true 8 wide. So if you are an 8 Wide, this isn't the shoe for you. Stick with the Clifton 9 for true wide fit.

Everything about the first pair was perfect. I ordered the exact same style and size recently to replace my two year old pair. Sadly the arch support which was key to my comfort, as someone with high arches, was no longer the same. A customer service person speculated that perhaps the manufacturer had changed. The shoe also felt larger. Very disappointing to have to return them. I use them for daily race walking .

The shoes are very narrow and squeeze on the heal. I was expecting a bit more cushion and comfort but it just wasn't there for this one. I am grateful for the 30 day window to return or replace though bc I am going to try another pair

I bought these when my Brooks Glycerin GTS shoes had worn out. I was very excited about them because they seemed to provide similar support and seemed very plush. Shortly after purchasing them, I began to break them in to train for my 2nd half marathon. While they were fine for shorter distances, any time I ran beyond the 3 mile mark, I would get horrible blisters all along my arches and heels. I wanted so much to love these shoes, but I just couldn't handle the blisters they gave me on longer runs.

I am less tired at the end of the day, but I don't really feel them comfortable. I don't have a wide foot and they feel tight from the sides. I think I need to try other styles, because this ones aren't what I was looking for.

Shoes were very comfortable! I had to return them because the material is very thin! I had them less than a month and had three holes starting in the fabric! Otherwise the shoes were good but I'd say they need a thicker more supportive material.

The shoe was uncomfortable. After questionnaire, it was suggested I order a 9 wide. I generally wear an 8 1/2 wide. The shoe felt too big and too wide.

I use these shoes for work and there comfortable but I haven't even had them a month and there already making noises when I walk

As expected the shoes feel really cushiony but the toe box is super wide. The color I purchased is more of a mint green instead of pale aqua. Felt like I had snowboards on my feet.
