Product Details:
The HOKA Arahi 7 emerges as the next iteration of this popular stability shoe, boasting a balanced blend of support and lightweight cushioning. Specifically designed for overpronators seeking a resilient workhorse, this shoe provides a naturally supportive experience for casual jogs, daily walks, extended runs, and long days on your feet.
Keeping the trusted J-Frame midsole support system and impact dampening CMEVA foam, the Arahi 7 continues to give a secure and protective running experience that cradles the foot with every step. Meanwhile, HOKA's signature Early-Stage Meta-Rocker delivers a smooth ride and creates an easy forward motion through the gait cycle.
The Arahi 7 improves its midfoot lockdown with a revamped engineered flat knit upper and is fine-tuned with a plush tongue, midfoot ghillies, and a stretchy dual gusset beneath the lace line to help prevent the tongue from sliding out of place.
Finishing the shoe off is a Durabrasion rubber outsole that adapts to various road surfaces and is placed in high-wear zones for extra weight savings without costing durability. Both seasoned runners and those just starting will enjoy the excellent stability, comfort, and support offered by the HOKA Arahi 7.

Fix the toe rub I was gettingNeeded same size but wider running shoes of the same model and these did the trick. My right pinky toe callous is now going away and my toenails are growing back. :)

Good Walking ShoeI've had the Hoka Arahi line of shoes for a few years now and they always work well for me. I walk in them 4 days a week and wear them out and about and they last a long time. There doesn't seem to be as much cushion as in the past but I need the stability these provide. My feet are on the narrow side and these work well.

Arahi reviewI have bought the Arahi for many years. I love the shoe because I never have to wonder how it will fit.
I appreciate how the shoe fits and will continue to buy this shoe.
Thank you for a GREAT SHOE.
Great shoes, very comfortable.I bought the Hoka Arahi a few months ago specifically for walking, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. These shoes are incredibly comfortable, and since I started wearing them, the pain I used to experience in my feet and knees has completely disappeared. I would highly recommend the Arahi to anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet, whether you're a walker or a runner.

HokaLove these shoes. Been trying new brands and keep going back to my hokas !!

Good fit, very comfortableI’ve been wearing the Arahi shoe for several years. The Arahi 7 fits the same as the Arahi 7. Very comfortable for all day wear and walking.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
These suck now.I switched to Hoka about 6 years ago. They were nice/decent then. Wide toe box, decent padding on the tongue.
The Arahi 7 are something else. The stitching for the tongue hits right at phalangeal joint on my big toe (both feet) & is painful. Doesn't matter how you lace them. Shoe has also gotten VERY narrow in the toe/forefoot-I don't have wide feet but these are made for idk who's narrow, narrow feet. I compared them to an older pair I kept for kicking around & it's a visible difference in toe width for the B width shoe. They seem to be 'trendy' now so I imagine Hoka's trying to capitalize on that by getting every cent they can. I'm not going to order a wide as my last pair had issues with the outsole wearing away very quickly, too. Was hoping to use these as a holdover while I researched new brands. That's not an option with the lack of quality of these sneaks.
These are absolutely going back & will be the last time I buy Hokas.

LacesGood stable shoe but the lacing is difficult.

Arahi 7The Arahi 7 does not fit as well as the Arahi 6 that fit perfectly. The 7 seems to rub the top of myfeet in an uncomfortable manner

HOKA Arahi 7 ReviewGreat service from Running Warehouse (ordering, tracking the order to be delivered and delivery). The running shoe has provided the support needed when I go out for a run. I am in the 200 lb range. I run twice a week these days. 1-mile warmup then a 3-mile run. 9:40/mile pace during the 3-mile run. No where the pace or frequency I use to run but I'm out there trying to keep in shape. And these running shoes help. Pleased.

Solid Arahi updateNo problems with this update of the Hoka Arahi. I’ve been wearing Arahis for years and this version does not disappoint. Great fit, support and cushioning.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Best Support So I Can WALK !What a comfortable fit. Plenty of room for my toes. Great cushioning for a body with osteoarthritis. The stabilization aspect genuinely keeps me balanced so I don’t fall . The Arahi style truly helps me to walk

AmazingI have very flat and narrow feet. These are so supportive
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Smooth and stableThe shoes are so good, there’s no break in time. You just count on the stability that’s built in to keep you in alignment, and go! I’ve put in just a few weeks work of mileage on them. But so far they feel as smooth as they did straight out of the box. I hope they get me 350+ comfortable miles.

Consistently stable and comfortableThe new upper feels more snug. But the ride still feels smooth and light. I’m so happy with this model, I got two color schemes. I hope they stick to this style for years to come!

Comfy, wide, stable!These are great every day trainers. They are comfy, wide (got D width) and stable. They look great. They are light weight. This is my second pair and I’ll keep buying them as long as they don’t change them significantly. I’m an older runner (+50) with plantar fasciitis and these shoes work great for me.

Hoka ArahiVery comfortable as I’m training long distance. Love the cushioning.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Not for meUnfortunately, these shoes are not a good choice for me. Not enough cushion as I would have expected from Hoka. Hurt my feet more after a few runs. But if you are looking for a light weight shoe, these are definitely lighter than many other stability shoes out there.

HokaI enjoy the Hoka shoes. This shoe is great support for running or daily wear.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Best version yet!Having owned many versions of the Arahi line, I can confidently say that I believe this to be the best version thus far. The fit is snug, but not too snug. This leads to a more nimble feeling, which I absolutely love, as some of the other versions have felt much more clunky on the foot. Solid training shoe overall with some decent support.

Fixed my overpronation painI have about 70 miles on these stability running shoes now with a long run of 10 miles to date. I had overpronation pain in my left foot arch area back in May due to my Cliftons losing their mid foot support even with Archmold max arch supports. I almost thought it was building too much running volume too fast but I was wise about that so I reduced my volume and did some research and remembered I had flat feet and need stability shoes for half marathon and longer training!
I made the switch in July and these running shoes did the trick along with Powerstep Puse Maxx arch supports. I can now run with confidence as I peak in running volume in the next couple weeks leading to Ironman Santa Cruz, yay! :)

Arahi 7This one goes to 7. Nice stability shoe, awesome colors. Wish it was a bit lighter feeling but it's fine for a stability shoe.

First time at Running WarehouseGreat customer service. Helped fit me with a pair of men’s Hokas walking shoe. Hokas are so comfortable and great balance for a senior 72 yrs old that I ordered another pair in different color. My wife was fitted in a Brooks walking shoe.

Comfortable, stable, and reliableComfortable, stable, and reliable. Hoka Arahis are a consistent and reliable choice for a running shoe. I love them for trainers and are very capable of handling the high level mileage you may throw at them. A little less responsive of what I'd like in a racing shoe but great overall.

Great Walking ShoesThis is my first time buying HOKA shoes and they did not disappoint. These shoes were like walking on a cloud. I have plantar fasciitis and these made my feet feel so comfortable. The color of this shoes is gorgeous and subtle especially for this brand. I actually wear them into the office a couple of times a week.

Best running shoesLightweight and very comfortable. The size and fit matches the description. Best running shoes I've had!

Worth buyingI bought my new shoes and wore them around the house for a week. Without my inserts and with. I couldn’t get used to them. I called the rep. He was super nice and told me that I could exchange for a wider D shoe and see if that is more comfortable. I am older and wanted a shoe to give me some support and relief of being on my feet for 74 years. My granddaughter has a pair and loves them and said I would to. The size 7D is a lot better. It has all the support I need without my extra Rx inserts . Now I know why I see young and old people wearing them. For running and sports to everyday use like me for support and stability. Thank you so much for all your help when I called the 800 number.

Not as cushioned....I am currently on my second pair of Clifton 9s. These Arahi are so noticeably less cushioned than my Cliftons that I returned them. If you need a firmer shoe these might be for you.

The Best!These are the best stability shoes of ALL time!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
I was a huge fan of Arahi until nowI love Hoka, and I loved the Arahi until the 7. These shoes were very uncomfortable and hard. I know this happens where a style changes and you have to find something new and that time is now.

Arahi 7Great fit, great look!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Comfy day to day shoesThe Arahi 7s are comfortable to wear all day. I can walk in them, exercise, and wear for errands. I do have to wear a wide width in these. I was hoping to get a neutral color like gray, but there are limited colors in wide widths. However, the vanilla cream looks nice in person and has been a good change. I appreciate the cushion and stability for my ankles.

Wear out fast!I really like the shoes, except the heels wear out really fast. Expensive for such a short duration of wear.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Arahi Feels Great!I have been running in the Arahi for some time now. The Arahi 7 feels so nice to run in. Still great support and firm enough to not feel spungy. Best Hoka I have run in.

Most painful running shoe I've ever wornI LOVED the Arahi 6 and ran in them for years. I recommended them to anyone who would listen. When I needed new running shoes, I had no choice but to try the new model Arahi 7. At first, I just assumed my feet were hurting so badly because they needed broken in. But after months of wearing them, I realized they just sucked. My feet would cramp in them a quarter mile into even a walk. Would strongly recommend against these shoes.

Must have for nursesGreat shoes for those standing on their feet or on the go. I’ve recommended these to my colleagues and family :)

GreatGreat mileage shoe, nothing crazy but the ride is comfortable and reassuring.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
ComfortThe new model is so uncomfortable!! I could barely get through 3 miles with the new Arahi. I returned them right away. Now I am lost trying to find a shoe that is soft, and for stability like the old model. Definitely not worth the money!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
DurabilityThe durability is terrible on the heels. On both of my pair is worn right down. I have only 60 miles on them.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Great FitI have wide feet and they fit great. They feel as good as my first Hokas …. Arahi 2!! I’m buying a second pair before they change again.
Buyer bewareToo narrow, feels cheap. Not worth the money.
