The fit was tight and the tongue of the shoe has changed since my last Hoka shoe I wear and love my original shoe but the new Hoka do not help my feet anymore. I will have to change to another shoe company . I tried 3 pairs and different styles and had to return them all . Sorry disappointed .

The shoes size runs big and I bought the smallest size. Also your kids sizes seem big as well. So does not work for me.

I was a big Hoka fan but the past year or 2 that has changed. I had the previous version of the Arahi and I loved them. So when I saw the Arahi 7 on sale I figured I would get a backup pair. But was disappointed that Hoka seems to be making their new model shoes more narrow, the same thing happened with the Bondi & Cliftons. Will have to start researching a new brand.

These were just okay and definitely a personal preference. I have several pairs of Bondi and one pair Clinton which are amazing. The Arahi is just not for me. They don't feel as comfortable and light as I would have liked and were also a bit tighter fit trying to put them on and felt a bit shorter for my 9.5 foot.

These shoes looked nice and seemed well made. I do have narrow feet, and these shies were super tight on my feet, I had to return them.

I've been wearing Hoka Arahi for years, as they've historically been my "go to" shoe for running. These? They were a total bust. I ordered wide after hearing how narrow these were in the comments. When I slipped them on, this felt like the right call. The problem I ran into was the width and height of the midsole, which is not wide enough even with a wide shoe. I started to experience joint capsulitis on the 5th metatarsal styloid process. After a few (very expensive) physical therapy visits, we realized that the midsole was actually pushing right into this spot while running. Loosening the laces did not help at all. It's a structural issue. I bought a new pair of shoes from another brand, and the problem went away. It's too bad. I've always been a huge fan of the Arahi line. Not anymore.

They rub in places that cause pain where I recently had surgery on both feet, so sadly not pleased. Maybe just not right fit for my needs.

These shoes I wore for a whole cross country and track season, they are very torn up compared to others and are not for those who need ankle support. I had terrible shin splints. I would recommend these for walking because they are lightweight and comfortable.

They seemed really comfortable and I was walking a couple miles a day in them. About a week after I got them my knees started really hurting. Through a process of elimination I wondered if it was the Hokas. So I stopped wearing them. After about 5 days my knees started pain was completely gone. So disappointing.

This is my third pair of hokas. My former two pairs were a size 6.5. These are as well, but run way smaller. I wish I hadn't thrown away the box, I'd returned them.

The shoes are ok. I bought them when they were on sale. I wish I had waited and tried them on in a store. They do not support an arched foot.

in all honesty I wouldn't buy these again. Had i known how stiff it would be on my foot with the drop foot malady I'd never have chosen these. I absolutely love all the others but thought these might help not hinder my podiatric problem. Ive already worn them outside so i cant return. So yes im disappointed with these but still loyal to the brand, anll my others have been superior shoes.

I've bought walking shoes from several different brands that worked great for long hours on my feet. I decided to invest in Hoka after hearing so many good things and even took their online quiz, which recommended the Arahi 7. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed. After just 3 hours of walking, my feet started to hurt badly, and within the first hour, I got a blister on one of my toessomething that's never happened to me before, even on longer walks.
What made it worse was how uncomfortable the shoe felt around my ankle. It kept rubbing against the outer side (curve of the shoe) , which was really uncommon painful. I tried tightening the laces and even changing their position, but nothing helped. I really wanted to like these shoes, but they just didn't work for me.

I tried them on at home but did not care for at all how they felt when walking. Not cushiony enough and tight
I prefer other Hoka styles
