Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 7

The size 8 live with just like my other pair that happened to be cloud runners and they are larger than the cloud runners I have so I'm a half size down.

soooo much better than any other shoe of this type i hav tried. two draw backs for me; the tongue is thick and even though I have skiny feet, this makes the laces short and difficult to tie.

I like the Arahis more than the Cliftons and the Bondis, surprisingly. These help with the pain in the top half of my feet. Because of the stability (overpronator here!), it alleviates some of the pain in that area. I also have plantar fasciitis and haven't noticed an increase in pain in that area either but it's still early to tell. Overall, good shoe. I wish it had a tad more cushion as it is much harder than the aforementioned shoes, but I get that stability shoes may not have as much bounce for good reasons.

I ordered these before love them

Honestly, these are too small. I've worn the Rincon 3s for the last year and a half. My podiatrist wanted more stability so I got these. I ordered the same size (8.5) as the Rincons and these are too small. They fit more like an 8 if I'm being generous .My toes are crammed at the end, especially when standing/walking. They're also super tight in the top of the shoe down by where the shoelaces end. Unfortunately I already wore them so I can't return them for a larger size. They do have a lot of stability though.

I needed a shoe with more stability and after reading the reviews I decided to order the shoe. I actually ordered two colors and settled with this. I wanted a white shoe with color and have received plenty of compliments already. Trying on the shoe it felt like the perfect fit for me. I will bring this on my trip as my primary walking shoe. I've taken it the gym a few times already and it's comfortable in classes like kick boxing and strength training classes. So far I like it. We will see how it feels on my trip. One feedback - the shoe tongue could be a bit longer.

I ordered my Arahi 7s directly from Hoka's website. Initially I received a used and damaged pair. Customer Service was very helpful in getting a replacement pair shipped to me but the experience was aggravating. When I finally received the new sneakers I was happy with the fit and support. I have not had them long enough to really provide an experienced judgement but so far so good. Heads up: They do run small but if you do the Size quiz on the website the answer given is accurate.

The quality of the materials has changed. The upper part of the shoe is definitely stiffer and feels cheap. If you have changed the sole, good, because my shoes are wearing out faster and faster. I hope I am wrong about the cheaper materials. I would hate to have to find another brand because I really loved my Hokas in the past.

Great comfortable shoe for work but the tongue in my arahi 7 had to be tugged out every. Single. Time. I'd slide my foot ineven if I really loosened the laces. Seemed like a small unnecessary battle every morning. My arahi 6 don't do this

I love how these shoes look but I do think they run small in size. I wear an 8 so I ordered an 8 but when they arrived and I put them on they were kind of narrow. Next time I will purchase an 8 1/2. I have another pair of Hokas in a different style that are size 8 and they fit and feel great.

I have always worn brooks adrenaline for a good running stability shoe but the styles and colors are nothing memorable. This shoe is giving me the same support and I love the color!!!

I am an in store shopper and am on my feet all day. I was having burning and pain at the end of my. I hesitated buying Hoka because of the price but I ordered them. It has been two weeks and I am very pleased. Glad I spent the money. Well worth it.

Evryday walking

The Arahi 7 is very different from the Arahi 6. The footbed is much tighter especially around the toes than the 6 and there doesn't seem to be as much cushioning as the 6. The material of the shoe even seems different. I ended up keeping these to wear on errands, etc but prefer the Arhai 6 and the Bondis for long walks and exercising.

I bought the arahi 6 and absolutely love them. So I thought I would buy another pair in a light color for summer walks. Well, no Arahi 6, replaced by the 7. I bought what I thought was a tan color but it is more peach. They are narrow through the toe and not as flexible as the 6. I have a narrow foot so that doesn't bother me, but i really wish they would bend more. I make clomping noises when I walk. I hope the more I wear them the more they will bend.

These shoes felt solid and my foot felt secure, however, I'm a 6.5 normally, ordered a 7 and they were definitely too short for me. I didn't go to 7.5 because I felt that would be too large.

I regularly run about 3 miles give or take, on treadmills and outside, weather permitting. I really loved the Arahi 6's, they were supportive yet not too firm. The 7's are much stiffer which is almost painful for my foot which has scar tissue from surgery. Whereas I had no pain with the 6's, I was a little disappointed by how firm the 7's are but otherwise they're everything Hoka's always are: cute, well made, good for high arches. Hopefully the next generation will be a bit less stiff.

I love how they look but I can't wear them all day. I ended up with neuroma pain in sole of foot. I just saw that the Biondi 7 is back and ordered a pair. I am one of those women who asked for them to return. No pain when I wear them all day. Thank you!

I have the Arahi 6. The Arahi 7s don't fit the same. I have to change the insoles out due to plantar fasciitis. The shoes don't embrace my insoles like the 6 does. They feel a little too tight. I wish the shoe laces were a little longer too.
