Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 7

I really wanted to keep these. I wore them around the house for multiple days. But they made my feet hurt. I normally wear B width shoes and have never had a problem with too narrow fit. I would have exchanged these for D width but LLBean does not offer this width. I purchased the same shoes from a popular online shoe seller in a D width, and they fit well. Returning these to LLBean.

Returned due to the coloring being wrong for me. I asked for an exchange but then they cancelled the order and had to wait for them to credit my account. Not helpful. And i will not be purchasing again.

I bought this shoe after searching for recommendations for achilles tendonitis. These shoes do not help. The "shoe finder" on the website recommended this, and I found several discussions over other websites that said the Arahi 7 would be a good supportive shoe. Now, I can agree on stability. But, the interior of the shoe is hard, not cushioned at all. I felt no relief in using these shoes. Even worse, I feel more pain than before after walking around while wearing them.

The Arahi 7 is not nearly as comfortable as the Arahi 6 which I bought from LLBean a few years ago. It is not as cushioned, material is stiff and feels tighter even though I got the same size. I wish I had returned them.

Love this shoe, it's my third pair. Great support and durable. I wear it for walking and standing on concrete for extended periods of time.

the fit was way too tight and these have been returned Terrible customer service as I have to wait 15 days for my store credit. Beyond disappointed

The soul of the shoe is starting to come apart. I'm referring to the part of the soul that touches the ground the concrete, the floor sewing and so forth I am past the 60 days now with this particular shoe so I'm kind of disappointed that it lasted less than 90 days Give or take a couple days very unhappy about this. I think I'm a great customer for Hoka.

I have had 3 pairs of Hoka Arahi's and 3 pairs of Clifton's. I have always preferred the Arahis since I have narrow feet and they don't feel as big on my feet as the Clifton's (I do still love my Clifton's- it's just a different look!). I was so excited to get a new pair of Arahi 7 my dad bought me some for my birthday. Having had 6 pairs of Hokas, always a size 7, I wore these to work today (I work in healthcare and am on my feet all day) without trying them on prior to wearing and my feet were actually HURTING by 3 hours in. The instep was so tight on my feet all day and the shoes rubbed the outer sides. These are extremely uncomfortable. I can't imagine how uncomfortable they would be for people who dont have narrow feet like I do. I'm hopeful my local sports store will accept this return after having worn these all day. I LOVE the previous Arahi hopefully they bring them back.

My feet are very picky on shoes after ankle injuries and only Arahi 6 could please my feet. Arahi 7 is totally something different and my feet were able to detect it right away. So I returned the shoes. Hopefully customer service can hear our voices and Hoka can put Arahi6 back to the market in 2025!

I am a moderate runner who's been wearing the Arahi for five years. The fit has totally changed and they are more narrow in the toe box. Disappointing! Back to the running store I go!

The arahi 6 was my go to running shoe. I've worn through 3 pairs of 6's. I bought the arahi 7 to replace my latest pair and hate them. They say that they only changed the upper on the 7, but that can't be true. I've run back to back days in my old 6's and my new 7s and they feel like totally different shoes. The 7s are stiff and seem to roll my foot in a weird way which caused an injury.

They are gorgeous and would be perfect IF then didn't run so small. I had bought another model that was similar and so comfy and thought I would invest in another pair. I didn't have a chance to try them on properly an tried wearing them and they hurt my toe so bad. Unfortunately I passed the return date. Hopefully this will help the next buyer.
