Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 7

My first Hokas were the Ahari 6. Hands down most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. I'm on my feet 7-10hrs a day. First time I had zero leg, back or feet pain after a shift in years. Fast forward to now, my new Ahari 7 are ok but nothing like the 6. They feel fine, but I have leg and feet fatigue again. Better than other shoes I've had but definitely not as good as the 6. Come on Hoka, why change a good thing?! (Side note:I did try the Graviota as well). I probably will not buy more Hokas in the future unless a shoe like the 6 returns.

I hope Hoka goes right back to the design of the Arahi 6. The 7 feels narrower, the front mesh is to much and the tounge of the shoe is shorter so its harder for the laces to stay on. Also the colors are blah. I loved the 6. Bring it back please.

Needs thicker upper & darker colors for outdoor activities.

I loved the Arahi 6-out of the box so completely comfortable and supportive. Perfect. The Arahi 7 is supposedly not changed much, but it feels like a completely different shoe. I can't put my finger on exactly what has changed-I think the toe box is smaller and front of shoe is narrower. Yet the heel feels looser. I am keeping the 7s because i haven't found anything better. Hopefully they will become more comfortable as I wear them.

I have two pairs of these and was looking forward to the next pair, I like the color and design. These, however, are narrow in the toe compared to my pairs.

I returned due to the fit

I love the wide toe box but these left my ankles and feet hurting after a couple of long walks. They just felt clunky and lacked flexibility and support.

I've been wearing Aarhis for years. Upon receiving the new 7, it was extremely narrow in the toe box. I returned and ordered a wide. Wide is better but could still use more room. The support on my run is good and that didn't disappoint.

Out of so many hoka styles the Arahi 7 looked the most aesthetic especially because these are the only few that are actually fully white color. They felt great in the sense that they were stable enough and my ankles felt supported while running. HOWEVER, because the white Arahi do NOT come in wide my pinky toe would fall asleep while running and would almost go numb. It felt very uncomfortable. And NO I do not have any condition. This would only happen when I would run. I run everyday 3 miles and when I would use them for walking I didn't experience this situation. Only when running. Which is WHY I RETURNED THEM

I ordered these in the same size as my Clifton 9s but they were tighter and I had to return them. Otherwise they are just as nice as the other styles if a bit less flexible.

These are very comfortable but the color is disappointing. They were described and pictured as vanilla/cream but they appear more peach or pink. I thought the color would grow on me so I wore them outside. I wish I had chosen to exchange them.

Plenty of room in the toes, the tongue is very high and rubs on the front of my ankle and there is not much cushion in the heel.

I like how comfortable they are and airy and lightweight but they run big.

I've purchased several pairs of Arahi and have loved them. Not sure I'm going to keep these. Not comfortable at all. Very stiff and hot. I am going to have to sears for a different brand in running shoes.

I've run through multiple arahi 5s and 6s and was super excited to try out the 7s, but I have been sadly disappointed. I don't feel that the shoe offers the same spring as the older versions, and ultimately they just feel clunkier/heavier than I am used to. The older arahi models helped me find stability without feeling like I was being forced into an unnatural stride, but running with the arahi 7s is a constant tension of adjusting my gait and ultimately never feeling comfortable.

Loved the arahi 6. The 7 is firmer to me, tight near the top of the tongue and cute ankle and the upper makes a popping feel. All this to say would love Hoka to bring back the Arahi 6! I had zero complaints with that shoe and owned several pair. I typically don't write reviews but felt it must be said!

Upper not firm enough & tongue slips. Exchanged for Challenger 7 which is not as Challenger 6. The upper & heel were perfect in the 6 series. Held up to heavy wear. Not so sure about the 7 series.

It's great for walking , the soles of my feet usually hurts after walking but not with this shoes. I was expecting it look and feel expensive based on the price I paid but satisfied my feet doesn't hurt after walking.
