Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 6

I absolutely loved the Arahi 6 and would have done a commercial for free! I purchased the 7 and it is like an entirely different shoe. The cushy padding that cradled my foot and made my run a joy was replaced with some hard feeling footbed! The tongue is also thin and not soft and padded like the Arahi 6. In desperation, I tried the Bondi it was just as hard and I felt like Daffy Duck. My feet were ridiculously wide lookinglike I could trip myself. It did not add stability or comfort so the look perplexes me. My knee actually started hurting and I took them off and put on my old Arahi 6.what a treat! Please bring the Arahi 6 back!

I never write reviews but these shoes were so painful I had to. I have never worn a wide shoe before, and have been fitted for many running shoes, so I was confident enough ordering the regular width for these shoes. The size was perfect length-wise, and the stability was great, however I got horrible pinching pains on the inside of my feet by the second or third time I wore them. I tried thicker socks, adjusted how I tied my shoes, and a variety of other tricks for about a month but they continued to give me horrible blisters on the inside of my feet. Unfortunately am going to have to return them. These were my first pair of Hokas and I was excited to try the brand, but I don't think I will be buying again.

Great quality materials used, but design is definitely flawed. I tried wearing these 4 times and every single time I ended up with a long blister on the inner part of my right heel. I didn't walk far in them, and got blisters every time but thought I just had to break them in. Then I noticed a lot of other reviews on these mentioned the same exact issue!!! you can tell they are made with quality materials, but definitely have a design flaw since so many people had the same issue. A little disappointing considering the price.

It rubs on the outside upper heel

Got these because of the hype and I've never needed to test out sneakers- whatever I wore were great. But I wore Nike in the past, and I guess I lucked out. These hurt the ball of my feet a lot. Not sure if they're too tight and then squeeze my toes or what but I regret only trying them on and then wearing them out. I should have worn them a weekend at home to make sure they really work for my feet because they aren't comfortable. I think they tilt forwards a little so they put a strain on the balls of feet and toes and aren't evenly distributed enough but I'm not sure. All I know is I came in to help ease my hurting feet and walked away with having sneakers that hurt my feet more than regular flats

I have two pair of Arahi6 that are the only shoes I safe. This last pair is awful. They are stiff and do not cradle my feet like the other two pair. Feel completely different. What happened. Now I have to find a new brand.

I have these sneakers 6 mos and the material on inside of sneakers has ripped and irritates my foot. I do not wear these everyday so Disappointed they only lasted 6 months.

For my first pair of Hokas I bought the gray pair and after a month of light wear I washed them following the instructions from Hoka Help Center. "Use a dye-free laundry detergent and warm water". My gray Hokas are now stained bright orange and they keep getting worse. I've tried using the one-year warranty but the site has been having issues for weeks and customer service is no help. I wish I never bought from Hoka.

I had to return these because they did not fit, this was my 3rd pair of Hoka and I ordered the same size but they were to small.
