Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 6

Wow- I did a lot of research on the best shoe for my feet- I have high arches and I pronate. Arahi should have fit the bill- but alas it was a total bust! I wear a 6 1/2 or 7. I saw reviews this shoe fits narrow- not problem for me. WRONG!!! One shoe started a bit snug, but the shoe has built in stability so I figured that was it. One foot felt fine but the other never “loosened” up and hurt my foot so bad after wearing. (You read that correctly- they felt totally different on each foot) A total bust! Unless you have extremely narrow feet I would pass on these. Not sure whose foot they are made for but not mine!

These felt very narrow and I never tend to have an issue with that in shoes. I had a really bad pain in the bottom side of my foot where it pressed in. The color was very cute and the cushion everywhere else seemed great.

I bought these for an overseas trip. I usually buy the Bondi make of Hokas. These seemed too narrow and actually hurt my feet after a long day's wear. My feet are standard, not wide. I always buy a half size larger!

I wanted to love these running shoes. I'm training for a 1/2 marathon and have always wore Brooks Adrenaline shoes. My calves and feet were hurting after long runs, so I was fitted at a local store and was told to buy these. They are 1/2 size smaller than I normally buy, although the fit is good, I am getting blisters on the tops and sides of my toes. I cannot continue to run in these.

I purchased Hoka for the stability they advertised. That part seems true, but the toe box is NARROW. They don't fit.

I have worn the Arahi 4 in 9W with no problems. I ordered the Fuscia Arabia 6 in both a 9 & 9 1/2 Wide as the reviews said it ran small. My normal size in Hokas & most running shoes is 9W. I do wear use the Currex Run Pro orthotics for extra arch support & because I have hallux rigidus. I found the shoe to fit true to size as my 9W fit fine. My only complaint is how low the shoe is on each side in the heel area. It feels as if it barely covers the sides of my heel, and my foot will slip out. With the high backed heel it makes it feel even more awkward. I am just not sure what Hoka was thinking to cut a shoe that low on the side. I have had about 5 pair of Hokas & none were cut like this in the heel area. Since I over pronate, Iam almost afraid to wear these due to lack of support. I will definitely be returning the 9 1/2W and trying the other pair again in the house. If I don’t feel more comfortable with them, I will be returning them as well. I will also say that I found the toe box to be a little narrower even in the wide which is also another negative.

When I put the right shoe on, the soul of the shoe was worn down. My right foot is what hurts. I got these shoes for comfort and they have already been worn down.

I wore these shoes while cleaning house. By the end of the day, my IT Band was considerably irritated. My heels ached. This is not the shoe for me.

Had a previous pair of these that I loved, but these feel a lot smaller than my last pair. Stupidly, I wore them thinking they'd be the same, and now I'm stuck with expensive shoes that don't fit. Super annoying.

I was so disappointed. I have been an Arahi fan for several years, purchasing 3 pair. This model seemed narrower and actually made my heel sore, which has never happened before. Hope the next model is more similar to the others I have had.

I have ordered the Arahi for years, and it is the perfect shoe for my foot. Unfortunately the Arahi 6 is way too narrow in the toe box.
