I wanted to like these, but unfortunately the arch was too flat for me, I have high arches. Giving three stars because they aren't bad shoes they just aren't right for me.

The shoes are really comfortable but they are way too narrow. I have very slender feet but have bunions which is why I was ordering from Hoka. I ordered a half size up AND ordered wide but they're still not wide enough for my feet. Kind of disappointing as I don't think I can return them. Love the shoe just wish it was wider.

Unfortunately, I did not get to really experience how the shoe might be overall as the wide width was too tight on my foot. I have a bunion on the right. I could not even lace the shoe up (even after loosening the laces). It felt a little tight on the foot without a bunion! Honestly, it felt just like a medium, so much so that I checked to see that the right size was sent. Really, really disappointed. Starting to think Zappos sells cast-offs!

I have had two of this shoe and they have continued to be durable and give great support. I would wear the shoes a few days a week during work where I am on my feet all day and would walk many miles each week. At the year mark the back part of the shoe, where the top of your heal runs against the back of the shoe is very torn up and fabric is worn down. This has happened with both pairs of shoes. The second pair I made a point of untying my shoe before removing it to avoid the wearing down of the back but this did not help much. Overall I really enjoy the shoes but it is somewhat disappointing to continue to experience this. The rest of the shoe is in good condition, everyone else seems more durable than the back of the shoe

I have had my bondi 8s for a little less than a year, so with dirt building up and some sole coming a little loose I thought it was time for a new pair. I looked at and heard about many different brands, ON, New Balance, Nike, but I ended up staying with HOKA, but switching models, which I thought would be a good idea. I have the balance of a newborn giraffe and the ankles and knees of a senior citizen, so I thought the stability would be good for me, and that the "balanced" cushion might give me some extra speed when I run or height when I jump. I do feel it when I am standing and trying to roll around on my ankles, they are very balanced and stable, but when I am walking around my campus, so 2-5 minutes of a 3-4 mph power walk +5ish stairs every now and then, my calves are on FIRE. Not just the days after I exercise either. And like it's really uncomfy! For the people who say the toe box is narrow, as someone who has weirdly rectangular feet, I do not feel that way, so take that with a grain of salt. Some of the colors are pretty, but I agree with the person who said that the name of the shoe on the heel is not super stylish for an everyday shoe. Went on a two hour college walking tour in my Bondis, and if it wasn't so humid and I wasn't so sweaty, I would not have believed that I had just walked 4 miles. Also, the shows have a sort of built in shoe horn, which will definitely make it really hard to get a blister, but they don't have a little loop at the back to help pull them on! I use this feature on my bondis every time I put them on, so I am having some issues getting used to that, as well as the tongue. The tongue on these shoes is minuscule. Don't even think about trying to put these on without sitting or using two hands (or both!). So, if you are in thinking about switching from a plush HOKA model and you currently feel like you are walking on a cloud (specifically the Bondi 8s), I would recommend staying with that cloud.

Returned the shoes, felt too rigid. Prefer my Rincons and Cliftons.

I did not feel like this particular Hoka style had the right support for me. I have high arch’s. I will stick with the Mach 6 - tried to change it up a bit but not worth it.

I was rec. Hokas by my Dr. Over 2 years ago. Loved my 6s as I have a disability and I need stability on my ankle. I was having issues on my disability side but that went away with my 6s. I had get the 7s when my 6s wore down. The stability is not there with the 7s I think the height in the heel is lower. 6s set over part of ankle. I tried every brand before Hoka and nothing worked well with my ankle. Also, I have no issue with toe bed but the backs feel wider on heel. Doesnt feel stable at all. And my feet slightly wide. I lovvvvvveeeeee Hoka but upset my 7s not the same stability. Still love them but sadly can't hardly wear the 7s due to my ankle not being sopported. I bought the 7s in Aug, if would have known about the about 30 day return policy I would have returned. Sadly I'm stuck with a shoe that doesn't work.

they are good once broken in. Wish they were wider in the forefoot and narrow in the heel/ankle to be more support.

I am so dissapointed that Hoka made changes to the Arahi style T-Shoe. I have had several Arahi 6 T shoes and my feet love the 6. I went to purchase another pair and found out the 6 is no longer available. It was replaced with the Arahi 7. I don't like it. Toe box is smaller and cushion doesn't quite seem the same, the balance of the whole foot bed seems off. I don't have happy feet so I am very disappointed. The other Hoka styles are to for me.

I purchased two pair: same size different colors. The peach Hoka sneakers fit great and are very comfortable. The white Hoka sneakers seem to have a defect on the top of the right foot. I wore them for about six hours and the pain on the top of my foot right below the tongue just got worse as the hours past, so I had to leave work at lunch time and take them off. I tried adjusting them over and over again, but nothing helped. I need to figure out how to return them and get my money back. I will keep my other Hoka sneakers and purchase them again in the future. Also, the Hoka sneakers are great for my plantar fasciitis, my feet don't hurt at the end of the day or the next morning. Just so you know I buy at least six pair of sneakers a year; sometimes different brands but I always have Hokas.

I bought this thinking it would be similar to Clifton 9. ( which I love) design is nice, seems more snug and I always have to pull the tongue up.

They were comfortable in the beginning. However, after a little over three months my left heel started hurting. I know it is the shoe because when I wear my other shoes, my heel does not hurt. I wish I could return them but the deadline passed.

Like many of the reviewers, I agree about the width of the toe box. I prefer both the feel and look of the Arahi 6.

Arahi 7 does not have the cushion that I'm used to in the Hoka Arahi 5 & 6. Also, the 7 is much more narrow so I had to return the Medium and tried a Wide. I'm returning the Wide as I need more cushion.

I have had these less than a month. I was very happy with the look and comfort at first. The sole started to fall apart today after wearing them less than one month.

My orthopedic pediatric urges me to use this arahi hoka. I have loved the six and spoke with. Someone that urged me to get the seven I would love it. I've been wearing the 7 and have calluses on my baby toes. Please bring back the roomier style of the 6

I loved my Arahi 6 so much and these had such a different feel. The upper is much stiffer and they felt very constricting and overall not as plush. If I had not been so used to the 6's, these might have been ok. I ended up returning them and got the Bondi 9, which I love -- but that is a different review. Hoka is still my go to!
