I've been wear HOKA shoes since the start of the pandemic. Very comfortable and bold colors. Excellent shoes for my daily runs and errands around town. I will say that I noticed that my last 3 pairs of shoes that the soles have burned out rather quickly (200 miles). But other than that, excellent shoes.

This new model is too small with a difficult lacing pattern that makes laces hard to adjust.

Had to return bc it didn't help my pronation. Chose a different brand with more cushioning for my foot!

The Arahi 7 has a smaller, narrower fit than the Arahi 6. It took sometime to find the correct fit for me because I was using the previous (A6) measurement. I would suggest going a size wider. There is a narrower arch area that seems to press into the side of the foot. Although I am a woman I will keep the men's size 8.5 wide (EE).

Firm sole with just a bit of cushion for light running or walking. As I have a low volume foot and high arch this shoe works well for me. Toe box is not oversized with just enough room the foot room t be comfortable Could use a bit more arch support

I bought these Arihi 7 after returning a pair of Bondi 8 that my podiatrist had recommended for my plantar fasciitis. The Bondi 8's made my feet and calves very sore after working my 8 hours standing on my feet. The Arihi 7 although not as cushiony as the Bondi 8 works better for me. I plan on buying another pair soon.

Materials and build quality were good. The appearance of the shoes themselves were good. The speed at which they arrived by shipping was fast. 3 pros, 3 stars. Unfortunately, they weren't comfortable for me and didn't work out. 1 star for the exchange program that allowed me to make an exchange after using these shoes. 4/5 stars.
I hope the next pair is a 5 out of 5.

These are better shoes as far as putting them on and tying, compared to Arahi 6. The support cushion is Hoka-good.
But these shoes are not for running.

I'm flat footed and have joint problems so my ankles constantly hurt but these shoes make walking feel good! At first the toe box bugged me cause it's really stiff and would rub awkwardly against itself until they got broken in. I had the Arahi 6's before and think the new design is way better once I got used to it.

These were good. I had to send them back because the rear tab is too high. Its like a Duck bill or sometihng. It wont let you pants go over the shoe. This is the second pair of Hokas I ordered that had that and I sent them both back.

I have been purchasing the Arahi named shoes for several years now because they work for me. The new blue color is nice and the fit is good, however, both the tongue and the laces are too short. I like to use the extra lace hole to lock the laces when I run. On these shoes, the length of the shoe laces is too short to comfortably use that feature :-( ... I will try and request some longer shoe laces ... but the tongue is what it is ... too short.

My second Hoka, this one feels softer than the first one I purchased. light weight and fit nicely. But price to quality is not matching. Other brands offers similar quality for half the price.

They are comfortable but not as comfortable as the ARAHI 6. The 6 seemed to really fit my foot the 7 seems a little tighter.

Bought these for my husband due to him having to have hip surgery and had to return them for a bigger size. Now he loves them and feels so well balanced

I am a female who has loved my Arahi 6’s, but after reading how much narrower the 7’s are in the toe box and the lack of cushioning underfoot, I decided to try on a pair of women’s 7’s before just ordering my usual. Sure enough, the women’s Arahi 7’s were much too snug, so I tried on men’s Arahi 7’s. They fit pretty well, although if they were ANY narrower in the toe box I wouldn’t want them. I also noticed the lack of cushioning. That said, I am ordering the men’s in several colors (thank goodness they are colorful), and I’ve ordered cushion inserts to help the cushioning. I’m with all the others who want to see Hoka fix these issues for next season. If they don’t, Hoka will surely lose a lot of loyal customers.

I loved the Arahi 6. Since they are discontinued, I am trying the new model. Toe box is still wide enough, but the top/tongue area is a little tight, loosened it several times. Will see how it fits in the long run. I ONLY buy Hoka shoes. They are the most comfortable. I wish I had discovered them 45 years ago!

This is my second Hoka shoe. The first was a Clifton 8. Both are the same size, but the Clifton was a better fit. The Arahi 7 is too wide and therefore not snug.

Fit is good, but it needs to be a little wider. The shoe is definitely firmer than previous models as well. I waited forever it seems for the new model to come out, and to my disappointment it is one of the plainest tennis shoes I’ve ever seen, especially the black and white. Of everything they could do, they chose less cushion and no style. I’ve taken several surveys suggesting they mimic On and Brooks for color, style, and trends, but I’ve yet to receive a response and nothing has changed. I have to wear these shoes due to a foot injury, and they have helped tremendously. I just wish they would do something cool and unique. Rocker bottom doesn’t have to mean grandma shoes.

It seems the toe box and insole area are less spacious. And sole is less padded. I have always worn these

These are only my second pair of arahis. I previously had a pair of sixes. They were by far the most comfortable shoes I had ever owned. After several years, they finally met their match. Having been so blown away with the Araihi 6s. Getting a pair of sevens would be a no-brainer. They are nowhere near as comfortable as their predecessor. I can only give four stars.
