HOKA Arahi 7 Review: Same stable ride, tweaked uppers

[@TomUK7]

I'm surprised run testers haven't tried the GT2000 12. Seems to be a very highly rated stability daily trainer.

[@Ginguredrunner]

Should compare this to gt200012, Saucony Guide 17, Forever Run.

[@lukewilliams4782]

Very helpful info, thank you!

[@queballaus]

How would this compare to the 860 v13? Looking for an alternative for my current.

[@jaymueller2418]

I love the Arahi 6 but find each one feels completely different based on lord knows what…production run, maybe? Anyone else?

[@steve4321able]

I had to buy 6 pairs of the same shoe to get 3 that were perfect. The cut of the shoes are all different it's very obvious the production line and quality control is lacking.

[@Erelyes]

I've got four pairs of Arahi 6 - orange, white, black in D width and green/blue in 2E. They all feel the same except the wides

[@brianloney21]

I have 4. Only tried 3 so far but they feel slightly different. A bit annoying but no huge difference.

[@neiljones78]

I have two pairs of the Arahi 6, the light blue and the orange. The light blue I've been wearing for about 400 miles, and I've had the orange ones for about a month, breaking in ready for the London Marathon. The newer ones feel a lot firmer than I remember the older ones feeling when they were new, and the heel tab presses into my achiles quite uncomfortably. I loved my first pair, but it's taking me a while to fall in love with the newer pair. I know it's not a direct comparison, because there's a good 9 months between them, but from memory, the two pairs do seem quite different. Maybe my feet have changed? I'm half-considering wearing my old pair for the marathon - they're so much more comfortable!

[@corallino72]

Sale, I would like to know if version 7 has more finger space than version 6. Thanks

[@Throughmylens123]

Can anyone tell me if they are rocker bottoms. I’ve been told they are ?

[@gceltmc]

I’m 17 stone and I over pronate. I have quite wide feet and I do like a shoe with a lot of return and a softer landing. Can’t do these stiff pronation shoes. Can someone please give me a recommendation for a shoe that would suite me please????🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😀

[@irfantaufiq2755]

I suggest you to check Asics Gel-Kayano

[@gceltmc]

That’s what I’ve been looking at, thanks for the advice

[@globalste]

“I wouldn’t do tempo runs in it” but there aren’t any other stability kicks from Hoka? I found the Arahi far superior to anything else, I used to wear Brookes until they changed to the cheapo guide rails which aren’t anywhere near as good.

[@corallino72]

Hi, I would like to know if it is wider in the toe area than version 6.

[@andreap3858]

Mine are not wider in the toe box.

[@Hafrgraut]

These companies have such overly confusing overlapping ranges. Why not make ONE bang on model for each need. Annoying

[@anvoeske]

Hoka wasn’t like this before but they’ve changed in the last 5 years. I’m getting out of Hoka’s

[@cedric182]

Because not everything is one fits all. People like different things.

[@chuckgamble5696]

​@cedric182 Yeah this seems obvious to me. Buy the model that fits your needs.

[@FL3Xn]

Wipe the shoes down ffs
