Customer Reviews Hoka Arahi 7

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.

Don't bother buying this. Cheap shoe and the flap in the back feels like plastic that cuts into your skin when you put it on. Not durable at all and it pinches your feet over time making them hurt even more. Worst hokas ever.

I have worn Arahi 5 and 6 for years and am so disappointed in the 7. The toe box is too narrow and liw, the sole is way too hard and the heel depth is too low. I went back to wearing my old pair and it took a few weeks for my pain to subside. I've started wearing a Brooks shoe that has softer cushioning and wider toe box. But it doesn't have quite as much support and stability as the Arahi 6. I really don't like the shape or feel of the Gaviota.

Shoes were size 5. I needed size 7. Also you sent me only sweatpants not the sweatshirt.

I've purchased other Hoka shoes in the past and loved them, but the Arahi's are terrible. Don't feel supportive and cause my toes to go numb, but that's honestly not my biggest problem. I wore these exclusively for walking a few times a week for a couple months, and they developed holes in the heel. Not small holes either, large gaping holes that the plastic/foam of the shoe pokes through. Really disappointed by the quality.

The shoes are very stiff and narrow. I loved the old ones, and these would have been my third pair.

I am BEGGING Hoka to go back to their roots and bring back the old Arahi. Arahi 6, rose gold- Incredible. This shoe literally changed my life. I have back pain and foot/ankle issues and these shoes alleviated ALL OF IT. They made me a Hoka believer. Arahi. 6, hot pink- Umm so I wanted these life changing shoes in a different color but they fit differently. When I measured them, turns out they are more narrow than the rose gold pair! And they are the exact same size, same shoe. Arahi 7, black- I had to purchase these in wide because the Arahi 7's are significantly more narrow than the 6. But they're still not as comfortable as my original pair, rose gold Arahi 6. THE TOE BOX IS SHAMEFUL. Even in the wide sizing. I will say they look more sleek but that's not the point! I'm not buying Hoka's to look cool. I'm buying Hoka's for comfort and functionality. Hoka I am absolutely BEGGING you to return to the wider toe box for Arahi 8. Please.

The toes box is small. I'll be returning these. Hopefully the Havana is better.

Unfortunately these were not for me, I thought that this style would be great and I am a pronater but alas no. They are firm and cut my heel ankle area, returning them in favor of Clifton's which are soft and comfortable and work with my heel spur.

I bought these in June. I have tried to wear them several times but they are just too narrow. Now it is too late to exchange them. I am really disappointed about this. They are brand new.

Arahi is not a comfortable shoe. It's like wearing a piece of plywood in the shoe.

I have 6 pairs of the old Arahi. Loved these shoes. Wear them daily. It is the only shoe that at the end of my day my feet, knees, hip, doesn't hurt. I have flat feet and these shoes helped me tremendously. I ordered the new Arahi 7 to replace a worn out pair and I HATE THEM!! Everything about them is different. I am so disappointed. Why change a good thing. DON'T buy these. You will remember me. They are going back. Now I am on the hunt for a shoe to replace my once loved Arahi. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING THE OLD ONES BACK!!

I wear a Clifton 9 wide which fits perfect, bt Arahi 9 wide is a full whole size too small
