I haven’t worn Hoka before but I wanted to try them out. Sadly I need to return these—came here to address my over pronation but for my feet, it feels like there’s a ridge on the outside side of my feet (ie opposite of the arch side) in addition to the good arch support. Back to the Asics for me.

The quiz recommended me these shoes for greater stability than the Bondi shoes. I like these shoes but they took a little while to break in.

They look beautiful. Feel a little stiff. Hope i will break them down in a couple of days.

After a bad injuries on both feet while in PT, I was told to get Hokas as they are very supportive and feel great on my feet

I really like my "old" Hoka Arahi 7and saw this style is on sale. There wasn't a wide width in my size, and I had hoped the medium width would fit. Unfortunately, it is too snug across my foot.

The left shoe is great. The right seems a bit tighter and digs into my foot. I am hoping when I break them in they will fit better.

If you're buying for pure comfort and support these are the shoes for you. If you want something stylish then not so much. They made my feet look enormous. I got the white ones, so maybe that's why they overtook my body. Going to try beige and see if that tones things down a bit.

These don't seem as comfortable or as nice as my last pair. I miss the loop at end and the laces seem shorter .

The shoes feel comfortable, but the plantar fasciitis is tender when I wear them

Very comfortable! A bit tight at first but after about 2 wears they fit perfectly! I hope the last a while!

I was in love with these shoes when I first got them, so comfortable and I felt like I could walk forever. Well the other day, about 2 weeks into having bought them, I did walk what felt like forever (only 6 miles), and I got a huge blister on my heel. Not sure if it was my socks or the terrain or what changed but I am a bit sad. Will try again in about a week once my foot heals with different socks and see if it makes a difference, but I bought them to train for an upcoming 10k and if they don't work, I'll be very disappointed. I look at them as an investment and hopefully they are.

The Toe Box is Extremely Large in my opinion. I have a narrow foot so I just moved around too much.

I have several pair of Hokas in 8.5 wide, which fit perfectly. These were too large and look huge.

Well, the shoes are very beautiful--a great combination of colors. I am not sure they have enough support for me, but I like them anyway. They are extremely lightweight, but a bit snug. If I purchase another pair, I will get a size larger. I am not disappointed and I am glad I invested in them--stylish and people have been noticing them.

Women's Arahi 7, size 7.5 (black/white) - Dang I loved how they look right out of the box, LOVE the tread too. Tried them on indoors for about 30min, they feel great EXCEPT for how narrow the toe box is. I don't have particularly wide feet, but these are so narrow, that my toes started tingling after about 15min, so I loosened the laces thinking that might help - another 10 minutes and my toes were going numb. For me, there's no way I could continue wearing these comfortably. I'd order them in wide, but they're not available. My guestimate is that a wide (in this model) would be more like a "regular" width, based on the shape of the toe box. Sadly, returning and continuing my search... Very grateful for Zappos being ultimately easy to shop with!
I'd also recommend:
North Face, Olukai, Asics, Archies

It's very difficult to find a sneaker narrow enough for me, so I haven't worn a sneaker in many years. These definitely support my arthritic feet and that is why the Specialist requested that I wear this style of Hoka. I have changed the lacing to stabilize my foot movement from side to side, and that has really helped. I can walk 6,000 steps in this shoe, this is very impressive.

1st, super easy exchange process. I had to go from a 10 to a 10.5. No hassle. The 10.5 feel like a normal 10 would, so maybe these run a tad smaller than average? They are super comfortable, though I just got them, so I haven't worn them for long amounts of time yet. They look good, and seem sturdy, so I'm looking forward to wearing them. My 1st pair of Hoka shoes, so we'll see.

I like the shoe, the toe box is not as big as with the Bondi. If I had to pick, I would buy the Bondi again. The Arahi 7 is nice but not as comfortable as the Bondi.

I love the Arahi 7 for comfort and they have relieved my plantar fasciitis pain! I gave a 4 vs 5 rating only because they don't update the colors with any darker colored shoes. I could never keep the light shades clean so I'm on my 3rd pair of the same black and white which I'm getting bored of.

This fit in the all black Arahi7 is not as comfortable as my Arahi6s (5 pairs); toe box is not as wide as other size 8s that I have. Is someone else manufacturing these shoes?
Just not as good quality, comfort and support as Arahi 6s.

Shoes are much smaller (narrower) in toe box. Like the styling and navy color, though.

I did my research before I ordered the Arahi: I needed a mild stability shoe with a lot of forefoot padding, roomy toe box and not much drop from heel to toe. Arahi had it all. There's one other category no one seems to talk about, and that is can you feel each tread on the bottom of the shoe. The feeling is like stepping on small stones. Some shoes are fairly smooth. Other shoes (like the Arahi) have individual treads that you can feel, even through all that padding. Obviously, this doesn't bother many people, but alas, it's a deal breaker for my overly sensitive feet. If this isn't an issue for you, it's a great shoe.
