Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 6

I was looking so forward to trying these on, my foot doctor recommended them. However after wearing them for two or three days, my arch really started hurting, so I am going to return them. They are very pretty Sneakers, and I love the look. They just hurt me.

Been wearing about 2 weeks not as comfortable as I hoped especially the first 3 days. Just made my feet hurt so bad couldn't wait to get home from work and get them off

I have chronic lower backpain with sciatica and am a private caregiver constantly on my feet. These shoes and another Hoka type of shoe Hoka recommended, did not work at all. Within 20 mins of being in them my back was screaming in pain. The shoe sole is way too hard, the pain literally jolts right up through my buttocks and into my lower back. There is no shock absorbency nor cushioning for the foot. I absolutely do not recommend these shoes to someone with lower back pain at all. I went with the Nike Zoomx Air and wow, what a difference! These sneakers should absolutely not be advertised as helpful with relieving backpain for someone on their feet for hours on end. I returned these and await my refund still.

My orthopedic doctor recommended this brand, but after my mtp surgery I need extra wide shoes.please make in extra wide and I would buy again. Had to send back , they hurt too much

the heel side was vey tied it was actually hurting my feet really bad. i liked the style and color but i had to returned it.

Maybe they just didn't fit me right, but when running it felt like the bottoms of my feet were on fire. Ended up with blisters along the entire side of my foot/arch, which I have never had before of all the shoes I have tried and all the activities I've done over my life. Sent them back

Even though I ordered a wide width the shoes are just too narrow for my feet. A regular wide width in other shoes work fine. I didn't think I would have an issue at all....even threw away the box and packaging something I never do! I was just that confident. I have heard so many others speak highly of Hoka at work. Just not for me.

The right foot shoe hurts after only wearing it for about an hour. I am a nurse and needed something comfortable and with a cushion

I have a long history of rheumatoid arthritis and as a result the bones in my feet are fused and i am unable to flex to get into a shoe. The Hokas i purchased have a gusset which prevents the tongue from opening wide enough to slide my foot in. Friends and my orthopedic doctor recommended your shoes and have only raves about how comfortable they are so i was very disappointed when I had to send them back

Wanted to return but unable due to form of payment

I have tried out the sneaker to the point where my feet are numb when I get done walking and that is not good. So, I am exchanging for (wide) instead of what I ordered just normal. Hoping that will work better.

I have never been more disappointed in a sneaker. I received them yesterday. I was so excited I went out for a run right away. I made it 0.5 miles and I had to turn around and walk home. First, I felt like I was running with bricks on my legs. Second, they were uncomfortable and hard. There was nothing soft about them. At 0.35 miles my knee and back started hurting. I think it was due to the way I was running. As soon as I walked in the door I started the process of returning them. I've exchanged them for the Bondi. I then realized I would have to wait a long time until I get the new sneakers. I have to wait until they receive them from UPS and then another 10 business days. So I called immediately and spoke to customer service representative and explained my situation. She told me what to do and it was totally wrong. I'm not happy with customer service because no one is listening to my question and how to fix it so I can buy right now.

I bought them less than 5 months ago and these shoes are already ruined with holes on the heel area. I only use them at work since I stand for hours and for walking and some jogging. I'm really disappointed to find out how poor the quality is of these shoes even if the price is so high. I don't recommend them! I feel like I just wasted my money buying a pair of shoes that don't last me not even a year without tearing up.

Have to exchange did not get the correct size

Awkward fit. Tight on toes, heel too loose. No arch support.

I can't believe how expensive these are and they hurt my feet :(

Didn't like them! Not as amazing as others say

I wear them for , unfortunately they were extremely uncomfortable and I am unable to wear them I will not be purchasing this type again. I will stick with the chiffon 8 which I should have ordered in the first place.

I have ran in nothing but Hoka shoes since back to back stress fractures over 10 years ago. I have never had an issue with sizing or ample room in the toe box as Hoka shoes have been consistent in having shoes with a generous toe box, so my size has remained constant in every model of shoe I have purchased over the years. My right foot is slightly larger than the left. Not a half a size difference or whole size difference, but slightly. I ran in these shoes once and even with the laces loosened, the left shoe was so tight and narrow that I was losing feeling in my toes. I couldn't even finish a run in these. I have never had sizing issues or needed to purchase a wide shoe. I exchanged these for the Mach shoes, so I'm hoping they are much better. How disappointing.

The shoes are terrible..I upgraded my shoes thinking they would be better. They are stiff and I cannot get them comfortable.. I tried wearing them 2 hours a day. I can't get them to flex while walking.

2nd pair I have purchased! For some reason these hurt my insoles wearing the old pair !!!

I am a runner and have always had ASICS. I wanted to try these out. Sadly these are very uncomfortable and make my feet fall asleep. They are the correct size and fit but sadly unwearable. I donated to the homeless in NYC

No support for a person with high arches . I was going to return them but I have a pair of orthopedic inserts that I am using . The inserts have made them bearable. Without them I definitely would have returned . Really wanted to like these sneakers and was looking forward to running in them . Not so much .
