Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 7

The shoe isn't wide enough and unfortunately they don't have the wide option in my size(12.5). If I could have a wide option this would probably be an amazing shoe. If you have slightly wide feet, which my feet aren't wide at all so I don't get how this shoe was so tight, then this isn't the shoe for you. I like the Bondi 7's so I'm just gonna buy another pair of those!

Got my shoe a little over a month ago. My feet started sliding in these and now I have blisters on my pinky toes. Not a fan.

The Arahi 7, like most Hokas, have awful durability. The inside of the back heel wore out on mine in less than 100 days, and I do not wear Hokas at work. Hoka gave me a bunch of excuses for why the shoes did that: excessive friction, poor fit, improper socks, overuse, heel striking gait, or normal wear and tear. Hoka is blaming me for their shoes failing in less than 100 days. Do better Hoka. I need to find an On Cloud or Brooks that will hold up.

Wanted to like this shoe for its stability, as I love the Bondi 9. But even after a wider shoe, it hurt my foot and had to return the shoe.

Compared to the 6's, which I owned several, the 7's are way too stiff in the sole and heel, and more importantly, they are now too narrow. The wides don't fit right as they are too wide elsewhere. You need to keep the natural foot width of the toe box of the 6's and the Gaviota's. I don't understand why you ruin a good thing.

Relationships are not built when everything goes well. THey are built when you make a mistake and your reaction to it. I had heard about Hokas and started buying them for myself and my entire family. I've been wearing athletic shoes for a long time and wore them for both athletics and athleisure. I expect to be able to wear a shoe for a year. It is a coincidence that the Hoka Limited Warranty is a year. One pair of shoes cracked from the insole out to the bottom of the outsole with daily casual wear after 5 months of casual wear. Clearly a manufacturing defect and not reflective of all the shoes they build. They denied my warranty claim stating that it was because of wear and tear - effectively making the limit in the limited warranty the ability to wear the shoes. I've had shoes from other makers that did not have a stated warranty replace manufacturing mistakes when they are brought to their attention. And I have never seen a shoe fall apart after 5 months like this one. I realize that there are lapses in quality control - this happens. But when it does, the existence of a limited warranty is not meant to obviate good business practices. So if you want a comfortable shoe, this is it. If you want a company that stands behind its products when it makes a mistake, look elsewhere.

I had this pair of shoes for a little more than 2 months, not wearing them everyday.

These are the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever owned. I got these because of a recommendation from a running store while looking for a stability shoe and feel like I've been lied to from all the positive reviews. I can barely walk around the block without my arches and ankles hurting. At first I thought maybe my feet just need to adjust to them after poor support from my previous shoes but it never improved.

I've owned two other pairs of Hoka's that were the most comfortable shoes I ever owned. The Arahi's were not comfortable. In fact, they made my pelvic area hurt while wearing them. It also felt like I had on two different shoes. I would return them, however your policy is that they can only be exchanged to the exact same shoe, not even a different color or size because I used Afterpay ( 've returned an item bought with Afterpay from another merchant with no problems). I cannot say I would recommend this shoe.

Save money and find a different brand! The show felt apart in only 6 months and the one year warranty claim here is a joke!!! They don't take responsibility of cheap materials, I have purchased 3 pairs of different and same fabric issues

I bought the Arahi 7 to replace my favorite 6 (which corrected severe plantar fasciitis)! I ran easy 3 miles (wanted to do 5) and had to stop as my ankle hurt. The shoe is now firmer and does not feel as "plush" as advertised or as it does in the 6! It does not support the arch nearly as good as the 6. I had to return them.

Narrow, cramped and painful toe box. Could not wear. Returned them.

This is the second time I have purchased an arahi. The first time I felt they were perfect! The second time, however, the sole folds rigidly cutting into my feet when I walk. Something seems to have changed- they feel cheap. The inserts also seem to be cut roughly and are frayed. Im afraid this won't last long- it's unlikely that I'll purchase a Hoka again.

I think that the shoe is mislabeled. What I received appears to be a woman's size. It is smaller overall and looks similar to my wife's shoe.

I'm not exactly thrilled with my arachi shoes. I had previously had rincon and they were much more comfortable and I enjoyed them"roll" forward. Completely different from the arachi 7 , far better for my usage

I wear a 10.5 in every other shoe I wear BUT my order didn't fit. Was WAY too big. My son wears an 11 and they were too big for him also

I called Hoka for help with 14 month old black Hoka Arahi shoes. The inside back of the shoe wore off. There is a plastic molding piece that was exposed and kept cutting the back of my foot. Unable to wear these shoes. They are great but I called customer service to help, but they will only honor a 12 month warranty. Its sad that Hoka will not stand by there product. 14 month old shoe is not that old. I expected better service. I was not expecting a refund but maybe help with a repair. These are very expensive sneakers. Expected better durability. Originally purchased from Fleet Feet.

I will never buy another Hoka ever again!! I got blisters after 3 hours. The shoes weren't wide at all! It felt like my feet were broken. I started limping in pain.

I was wondering if I can send them back a get a different shoe I never bought that shoe before thanks

The forefoot was much wider before. These 7 models hurt my feet. Will be returning.

My favorite Hokas are a pair of Arahi 6s. So when the 7s came out I ordered a pair in the same size as the 6s. Unfortunately the 7s for me were shorter and narrower so I had to send them back. But loved the style and the rating reflects only the sizing problem. I haven't decided yet whether to try the next size up, but never in my life have I worn such a large size!

Love Arahi 6. have several pairs. The Arahi 7 is a different shoe. Toe box is extremely narrow and very uncomfortable. Wore Arahi 7 shoe for several weeks and returned it. Please redesign the next model with a wider toe box.

Very uncomfortable

Wore them twice to work and rolled my ankle twice
