Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 7

Comfy shoes just didn't help much with my overpronation so I had to return them.

In my case the new model falls short of my Arahi 6's. It is slightly shorter and the unusual new lacing pattern makes it uncomfortable. Additionally, the tongue is shorter, causing the top row of laces to often slide under the tongue. I was looking forward to them, but had to return. They were unusable for me.

I purchased these based on all the hype. They are comfortable but nowhere near comfortable as Skechers Equalizer 5.0 with cooled memory foam. My feet are bad ever since I fell off a ladder a year ago. Hoka gives me 3-4 hrs of no pain comfort. The Skechers give me an entire work day.

The shoe color style and fit great but worn once and back tab is completely shredded. Need to get somewhere to print return label.

Just average on a comfort level, I've owned many better athletic shoes. I think the shoe laces are cheap.

Not as good as the ARAHI 6. The small amount of cushion in the midsole of the ARAHI 6 made a big difference in the comfort level. The lack of cushion in the ARAHI 7 midsole isn't good.

Not the same shoe as the Ahari 6. They are wider and heavier. I will still wear it but wish I still had the 6

Gave hoka a good try. Third pair I've bought. These all run extremely narrow. You'd figure for stability shoes they'd actually design these for the people that need them. Got the wide but my foot still hangs off an inch over the sides - and I'm never a double wide person. Meanwhile other brands like Saucony and Brooks design their stability shoes for the people that use them. Going back to those. Done with Hoka. Spent like $500 on this brand for bad shoes.

First the positives. Looks - personally i like the 7 much better than the 8 because it has cleaner lines and the white really pops. Overall they're very comfortable and provide decent lateral support (as much as a running shoe does). I replaced the insole with Superfeet insoles (green) to better support my flat feet. My only negative comment is that the inside of the heels on both shoes have worn down so significantly that they're basically gaping holes. None of my other sneakers, ones that I've had for years (I've owned these for just months) have exhibited this level of wear. I want to love these - the quality overall feel better than my Nobulls, but I can't get over how badly this part of the shoe has lasted.

Loved the fit and feel but bottom fell apart in less than 60 days.

I haven't had my shoes more thank 6 weeks and the tread has already started to peel off. I am not a runner and only wear these shoes to work. I have enjoyed Hokas in the past but the quality of these are not up to standard.

Lacing changed from 6. The lacing through the flap uses what looks like a press on device. Shoe comfortable when on. But a disappointment

With these shoes on, I feel my feet get less tired during standing especially my heels. But I feel it's making my feet stuffed and while walking fast, it makes me more tired. I heard good reviews but in general I am doubtful with continuing to use them.

Have been using Clifton's and Bindis. These are disappointing.

This shoe is clearly not as comfortable as other HOKA sneakers. I have been wearinng these now for a week and they need improvement. The arch seems too low, the instep is weak. I would wait to purchase the upgrade (which HOKA calls a "significant upgrade".

Just average sneakers, no Hoka magic. I would exchange them for the new Bondi nine but I threw out the box.

Laces too short. The shoe is too tight. I like to send it back.

Not happy the prices drop so much right after purchasing

I wear an 11 1/2 US Gaviota 4 or 5 medium width. I saw these on sale so I on sale so I ordered my usual size. Impossibly small ; couldn't get my foot inside. I'd probably need a 12 1/2 but they weren't available so returned these.
