Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 7

I had to return the shoes. They did not fit at all. Way too small. I normally wear a size 9. I took the size quite and was told I needed a 9 regular. I ordered 9 wide because I wanted a little more room. Had a very hard time even sliding my foot into the shoe and my toes were very tight. I would have never of gotten the regulars on. I was really excited to try the shoe. Guess I will stick with my On Clouds.

Have the Arara6 and the fit is excellent; this 7 in this color was too, too small for an 8; too, narrow in toe bed; very disappointed; felt like I had bought off-brand! I own 5 pairs of Hoka's and this one was sent back.

I own a pair of Arahi 6 which l like a lot. However the Arahi 7 is suppose to be an upgrade of this shoe and it is not. The Aranhi 7 is cheaply made and is a definite downgrade to the Aranhi 6. I will not purchase again because a company of this size should take more pride in their product not less by cutting corners while raising prices. The sole of the shoe is my first complaint, the inside cushion is second, and the cheap spray paint job done on the sole is my 3rd, and my 4th complaint is that this company did not care enough about their customers to even try, as proven by this shoe Arahi 7.

I loved my Arahi 6 but the 7 is firm and seems to be almost a slim fit shoe. Not the most comfortable at all. I want to send back. Will be sending back the white ones I ordered and haven't worn.

too narrow, not vented well stay with Clifton 10 better vented and softer

Too cheap,

I totally LOVE the Arahi 6! I tried to order another pair in a different color only to find that it had been replaced by the Arahi 7. I was soooo disappointed and returned them as the toe box is more pointed and the instep is too snug. This is a completely different shoe which is not to my comfort nor liking. So sad!!!

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!
