Hoka One One Laufschuhe Arahi 7 1147851 Schwarz 38

Overall, the Arahi 7 is an excellent stability shoe that is impressively lightweight and versatile. The midsole is slightly firm but that adds to the shoe’s inherent stability, along with the brand’s J-Frame technology. There are other options on the market in addition to the Arahi that no longer have medial posts for stability. However, I still appreciate that non-intrusive stability – this shoe feels supportive but not necessarily like a stability shoe to me (in a good way). I loved the knit upper and fit of this shoe as I was easily able to get a secure lockdown for my narrow feet. (Read: this is not a wide-fitting shoe.) For runners looking for one shoe that can be used for different types of runs, or runners and walkers who just prefer shoes that aren’t overly plush like many on the market these days, this shoe fits the bill.

Compared to other reviewers, I actually love these shoes. I like the narrowness of them and the firm footbed. I was so happy, thought I found my shoe…. Just for Hoka to go and completely change the shoe for the 8.

Hokas are the only shoes I wear for walking. Probably my tenth pair. Walked entire Camino in Spain in a pair and not a single blister. These are awesome shoes!

have always had the Hoka Gaviota, and loved them. Unfortunately they seem to have changed the last and they do not fit the same. The Arahi was suggested as the closest thing and a good fit for a narrow foot. Unfortunately it is no Gaviota. The support is good and the rocker is ample, but the toe box is narrow. I am still looking for what shoe can give me the same kind of fit and support I got from the old Gaviota.
