Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 6

I wanted to try these shoes because I have seen a lot of good reviews, and I needed a shoe to help with overpronation issues for when I run. I have to buy wide because of how wide my feet are. These shoes were not wise enough, so they really squished my feet, really making them hurt sent them back after trying them on a few runs, and they suggested a mens wide in short, still not wide enough. So back to my Brooks.

Not the most comfortable

I am wearing ARAHI shoes for about 6 years, I ware all Arahi 1,2 4, 5 shoes. I feel quality of shoes going down compared to Arahi 1, even though they are getting more expensive. I just started wearing arahi 5 no more than a month ago. The metal plate in back of shoe starts pinching me. Also shoe covering material looks lower quality compared to previous ones.

I got a second pair bc I loved my first pair of Arahis. Unfortunately, the new pair (same size) are tight in length and width and just generally less comfortable. Very disappointed.

Ordered these shoes after hearing good reviews on them. I'm a server, so I'm on my feet a lot and for long periods of time. After only wearing these shoes for two weeks, the heel part has already worn down to the plasticon BOTH heels, not just one. I've tried to contact Hoka but they make it super difficult. Tried to do an exchange but I'm worried they will receive my already ruined shoes and not authorize an exchange because there is no option to return these items due to them being damaged so soon after my purchase. All in all, super disappointed in the quality of these shoes. If I'm paying more money for better quality items, I expect better quality items. (I've been trying to upload pictures of these damaged shoes, but they will not load)

MY FIRST PAIR OF HOKA WERE GREAT THAT'S I ORDERED ANOTHER PAIR. THEY WERE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DID NOT ENJOY THEM AT ALL

Haven't even had them two months and the bottom of the shoe is peeling off and the HOKA on the side of the shoe is trying to peel off.

Not sure why the right sneaker is extremelly incortable. I had to stop using them. This has never happened to me before with sneakers.

I have plantar fasciitis. I can only wear very stable, supportive shoes. Hokas were mentioned to me as a great choice. I purchased a pair inMay and received them in June. I wore them around my house shortly after receiving them. After two hours of wear, my left foot began hurting so I removed the shoes. The pain disappeared. Two weeks passed. 4 days ago I wore the Hokas again, this time for four hours. The pain in my left foot began again. My plantar fasciitis was excruciating. Seeking relief, I visited my massage therapist who told me I was the second person, in the past two weeks, to have reported their plantar fasciitis got worse when wearing Hokas! I am now on crutches. I would like to return these shoes but Hoka requires all returns to be sent to England and all fees(customs, shipping) must be customer paid. I wouldlike to send Hoka my Dr bill as a result of wearing their shoe. This has been a terrible experience.

I wanted to like this shoe. Very comfortable, lots of cushion, nice fit. After 8 miles of walking, I developed quarter size blisters on the inside of both heels. After checking the shoes, there is a ridge that runs along the inside of the heel. I assume this rubbed against my heels and caused the blisters. Very disappointed. Will be returning them.

My wife and are David HoKa folks. But for some reason these kill out feet. If we could we would exchange them for what we had previously.

Even with buying the wide size, the shoe was still too narrow. I returned the shoe

These caused blisters on my heals and my arches hurt after wearing them.

Too narrow

I was looking to purchase a good pair of shoes for walking. I typically walk 5-11 miles per day. I tried this shoe four different times now and I can't make it past 2 miles without getting blisters and sharp pain on the sides of my feet. It's weird, because I know they make a lot of people happy, but for me, they did not work at all. They are tight in odd places and wide in others. My foot is pretty normal size but this shoe is just bad in a few areas.

Within 2 weeks of very casual use they are fall apart, heel and toe box is basically completed ruined. Wouldn't buy again

i wanted to exchange a pair of sneakers and Hoka company said they can't do it. Poor customer service to me

I had the most horrible experience with these shoes.I bought those shoe cause I need a goof and comfortable shoes for my feet, but the result was totally opposite, they hurt so bad my feet. They gave to me so much pain in my feet that I can't wear them. I do not know if I would like to buy another pair in the future.
