Why We Like The HOKA Arahi 7 Running Shoe
Now equipped to lock in our fit, the HOKA Arahi 7 Running Shoe keeps our foot perfectly positioned over its ultralight, ultra-cushy platform. The new flat-knit upper is strategically looped to give our midfoot a supportive hug when laced in, while the improved, cushier tongue eliminates pressure points and its dual gussets prevent migration. Just like its predecessors, this pair features HOKA's J-Frame technology that gives us the touch of stability we need without feeling heavy or clunky.

Not as good as the 6
I loved my Arahi 6 shoes. When my shoes started to go bad, I jumped on Hoka.com to order a new pair. To my surprise they now have the 7s. Reading the reviews I had some hesitations so I called my local store to get their opinion. They told me I should try them on because they're different. I tried them on at first and thought they were fine, I just had to go up a size. I have now completed 3 walks in them and I absolutely hate them. I bought them originally because they were the only shoe that made my plantar fasciitis "go away". Now, the 7s make my feet hurt more than I've ever experienced before. I am so disappointed. Finding a pair that felt good took months and now I have to start over. It's hard to stay brand loyal when companies like Hoka take their GREAT shoe and change it. I will say they are cute, but I always used to say the following about my Arahi 6s, "yeah they aren't cute, but my feet love me". Truly disappointed.

Arahi is IT for me, over and over
Tris is my fourth pair of Arahi sneakers and I still love them! Comfortable, secure, light, great cushion in the heel. They are no go to running shoes!

tight
i like the way the shoe looks. the front of the shoe is very tight, usually buy regular fit, but maybe I should have bought a wide width. and my arch is sore from walking, i do have flat feet, but my other Hoka shoes don't make my feet sore. i need to return and get another style.

There is no other shoe for me. Period.
I am in my early thirties and cannot search for any type of footwear unless it is preceded by the word "orthopedic." I over-pronate, have flat feet, and these shoes have changed my life. I have owned six pairs nows in the past 2-3 years, and have pretty much stopped buying any other shoe. I have pairs that I wear as a causal sneaker for when I am teaching, and those I run and walk in that I let get dirty. If I could afford to stockpile 100 pairs so that I could have them for the rest of my life I would. Their only caveat, which I happily will take, is that they are not durable. Their incredible light weight comes at the price of a high rate of wear. I replace every six months or less, or when the tread is too smooth. Lucky the weather is too terrible for sneakers 4 months out of the year in Maine.

What happened with the Arahi 7??
I've been wearing Arahis for many years. I have referred so many people to Hoka because of how the Arahis changed my mobility/lifestyle. They are the ONLY shoe that helps my feet. So when the Arahi 7 came out, I bought them in 3 colors. $400+ later and I realize that it is a completely different shoe than any Arahis that came before. I'm not sure if it's the insole or the width of the sole or what. I could feel it as soon as I tried them on, but I thought maybe it was all in my head. I have since been dealing with awful foot/leg/hip pain. I came to Hoka to say something and see that everyone else seems to be having the same issue. What is going on, Hoka??

What happened to the Arahi 6?
I bought my first pair of Arahi 6 on the recommendation of a colleague and loved it! Comfortable fit (need to size up by .5), good support, lightweight, branding was not too loud, colors were on point. Loved it so much that I bought 3 more pairs. With that being said, wanted to get another pair in a different color just to find that this model is no longer available. The next gen looks slightly different from the 6, and from the negative comments on here, appears that HOKA downgraded the shoe which is a shame. Ordered the Mach 6 instead and hoping it will be as comfort as my Arahi 6s.

My Favorite Hoka's
I love these Arahi 7's. I have six pair of Hoka's all different styles and these are my favorite. They fit well and very comfortable right out of the box. I don't have a wide foot so I don't have any issues like some have mentioned in their reviews but they don't have a wide toe box for those of you who would need it

Finally got motivated!
I know June 5 is national running day or something so I replaced my older hokas with these knowing I'd probably do more walking but today I took them out of the box they fit exactly perfect I started off with just a little 2 mile run, very supportive and made my first run Enjoyable
