This works better than the last pair I had. The former pair rubbed a raw spot on the top of my toe. this pair has allowed me to run longer distance with greater comfort

Bought these expecting they’d live up to the hype. 1) they are not for my feet, even though they were recommended to me by a PT and running specialist. HATE wearing these. They slip if I’m doing anything more than a leisurely stroll. 2) they’re falling apart!!!! Look at the all other reviews with photos on this issue. The tread is separating in the same spot on mine after 4 months of WALKING in them.

I brought these light weight HOKA Arahi trainers because I need a stability shoe, great for overpronation giving me extra support. I find the pull tag on the heel collar useful making it so much easier to remove trainers after my run.

Bought this sneaker I wear stability sneakers feel lighter than my gaviota. I love my black and white color. Hoka is a great brand I wish Dick’s Sporting Goods would carry them in stores..

I have been wearing hokas for years and they have helped me accomplish more and enjoy more of life. This shoes is great for me in that I need the stability of the heel being closer to the ground this shoe provides. I slipped down my stairs in Birkenstocks a year ago, so feeling secure on my heel is important to me. Yes, these are the best fitting hokas for me, with the right balance of support to actually foot created stability. But, the sole seems more slippery than past pairs. I have still enjoying them. But, I am careful as they do grip, but not as much as I would have hope on rainy days outside. I'm not giving them up. After ankle surgery I can wear these for three miles so far. I just worry about them being more slip resistant. That would be a plus in my book. But, they are my favorite hokas I've owned yet. No ankle pain, no back Bain, no knee pain,; and I'm 51. Just want them to be more slip resistant, or they would have 5 stars. Oh and a friend of mine bought 2 pair so she could wash one while wearing the other. They do get dingy. But, you can wash them successfully according to my friend. Live them. They save my ankle from so much pain and create freedom for me. ❤️❤️❤️

I bought these for my wife for Christmas. The intention was for her to wear them to the gym while she worked out. They are so comfortable that she wears them everywhere. Going to look for me a pair next!

I get pain in my knee and the heel of my foot. These shoes are so comfortable, that I don't feel either pain. These shoes really help.

Comfortable running shoe with good support! I ordered a wide because I have problems with my feet falling asleep/ No problems with these!

I originally had the Clifton 7 which I found the toe box very wide. I wore them for 5 months and was in need of a new pair of sneakers. I called Hoka directly and asked them which of their sneakers had a narrower to box and they suggested Arahi 5. Which I find is a perfect fit for me

I tried these shoes on in the store and they felt great! Since I bought them I do not have anymore problems with my feet and my knees no longer bother me.

I’m a nurse and end up running all over the hospital or have to stand in one spot for several hours and these shoes are perfect. I have plantar fasciitis and these give me the support I need with the cushion and comfort you want. I ordered my usual 7.5 wide and they were too big, my foot would slide around, so I went to a 7 wide and they are perfect! My husband works at a very busy warehouse facility where he walks 12-15 miles a day and is on his feet for 10 hours at a time and he raved on how great these shoes have been for him. We used to wear brooks but are back over with the Hokas! He ordered true to size for him but mine needed a size down. Dicks made ordering another pair and getting them to my house in just a few days super easy, I returned the others to the store very easily as well!

My wife swears by these shoes!! She has had several foot surgery so comfort and support is of utmost importance to her. Until we found the Hokas she has only been able to wear the Nike Epic Reacts. She is now a Hoka fan!

I bought these for my wife after hearing how comfortable they are. She is on her feet 8 hours a day and said they were the best feeling shoes she has ever worn.

I really like this shoe. Its very comfortable but the tread started peeling off the shoe the 2nd time I wore it. For the price this should happen. I ended up returning the shoe as being defective. I have a 2nd pair that I bought about a month ago and noticed that the colored tread on that pair is just starting to loosen up.
