Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 6

Hokas are the BEST shoes for the walking I do. This is my fourth pair. I can't recommend them highly enough. I am so grateful to have found this brand. I NEVER have foot pain and feel like I'm walking on a cloud from the first to the last step on my daily, 6+ mile walks.

So comfortable. I bought a 1/2 size bigger and perfect fit

Awesome shoes! The best

I have another pair of Hoka Arahi 6 and love them, very good stability and comfort.

Luckily I tried 3 sizes. Normally I'm an 8.5 M. They were too short in the toe and narrow. Tried the 9M, they were still a little too short in the toe and a hint too narrow. So surprise, surprise, ordered an 8.5 Wide, which actually turned out to be 8.5D when I unpacked them, yes D width, the description didn't mention Wide was a D width. However, they proved to be the right fit, the arch is in the right spot, the toebox gives me a thumb width from my toes to the end of the shoe. the width is just right and accommodates an athletic light weight ankle sock as well as a thicker tennis-type Thorlo ankle sock. They look kinda clunky on me in overall terms, but the tread will be great for walking/exercising in all kinds of conditions, won't be slippery in wet conditions, appear to be sturdy and I hope to get long term wear.

I’ve been a dedicated fan of Hoka Arahi tennis shoes ever since I was introduced to them by REI. I wear them daily in my job as an ARNP as they provide amazing support and comfort running throughout the hospital. I bought this pair for daily casual wear off the job. I’ve worn ASICS for the past 20 yrs for good reason but will never bo back after discovering these :)

Really like my Hoka sneakers. I'm really impressed with them.

Looking for post bunionectomy extra-depth shoe to accommodate swelling. I over pronate, so need a stability shoe. I like New Balance; bought 860. Nice, but felt heavy. My orthopedic surgeon recommended Hoka. The Hoka for over pronaters is Arahi. So comfy, lighter than the 860s. Same price, so the NB was returned. I wear size 6.5-7. Tried both and kept the 7. One star off for style. Because of the depth and wide toe box, shoes look a bit clunky despite their light weight. Styling rather plain and blah colors. But I am going for function vs. fashion, and this fits the bill.

Great shoe in most aspects. Soft cushioning inside, wide enough toe box, nice big sole for stability. I ordered my usual 7.5 because I ordered a D width, however, it's a bit snug with my thick footies. Next time I'll try an 8. A very nice shoe. I'd like to scream from the rafters, though, that we need more 2E wide shoes! After each pregnancy, my feet widened, and my mother says that all her friends need wide shoes with bunions, etc. I want 2E wide options, not this "C wide" which isn't wide at all for many of us.

Awesome

This particular style and manufacturer were recommended to me for a pronation problem that was causing me hip pain. I now wear these exclusively due to the pain relief they provide. Love the colors!
