Thank you for your good review!! I'm between Arahi 6 and Vongo 5. I'm 72 kg and i run marathon 4:30 min/km. which one would you recommend please? which one is more soft? And with which one can i run more fluid? Thank you in advance!!
First time watching one of your reviews. Have to say you do an excellent job. Very thorough and detailed. Have a pair of 5's and was very curious about the updates. Appreciate reviews that cover all bases. Thank you I'll keep watching. Quick question: Have you reviewed the New Balance Fresh Foam More Trail V2 ?
@@RyansRunningReviewsYT Ok thanks no worries. I think I'm gonna' go ahead and give 'em a shot. I was actually impressed with the first version, unexpectedly so. Never know with activity specific performance shows. I'll still watch your reviews though. Keep up the good work.
Hi Ryan, could you please answer the following questions...1. Which of the Hoka Arahi 6 or Saucony Tempus is more stable for someone who pronates inwards excessively? 2. Which of those shoes has the stiffer rocker? I dont have stores near me to try these and trying to figure out which one to go for. Thanks.
Ryan, I am coming off Quad tendon surgery and will start walking again. Would you recommend the Arahi or the Gaviota for walking post surgery. prior I was walking 6-8 miles per day..
Hi, thanks for the wonderful video.. u mentioned ...looking in other direction... which ones you recommend.. over pronation. . Walking.. using day in day out .. commuting.. at work... rarely jogging.. need something durable! Thanks in advance
Nice video! I got a pair of the arahi 6 coming from the arahi 5s just because in the arahi 5 the back of both of my shoes was starting to tear. The tearing was with the fabric inside of the shoe where my ankle goes and it was chafing and starting to bleed so I thought its time for new shoes. I wonder if I am the only one who had them wear down there before anywhere else.
Nice review a lot more stated than any salesperson has told me for these shoes in person.. i went in to the stores going to try the bondi 8 and ended up had someone suggerst the arahi 6 wide which wow is plush and felt great on my high arched plantar fasciitis feet with my left foot which is inflamed currently.. im really trying to decide should i get it or the 5 thats like 78% off on a hoka sale site compared to the 6 thats on sale on a site for 77.. what do u think.. thank you in advance Ryan .
Would you recommend these or the brooks? And what would last longer? I currently have the brooks 14 great shoes but ive been looking at the Hoka 6 but im not sure if i should change. What would last longer would you happen to know? Ive heard brooks are built to last but im not sure about the Hokas
Hi thanks for this review. I just had a Gait Analysis in store and the Arahi 5 seemed to come up best for me (need a stability shoe with good cushioning). They didn't have or mention Arahi 6 which sounds like it might add a bit more comfort. But in Black Friday deals the 5 is about £30-50 cheaper than the 6 - is there enough upgrade in the 6 for the extra price? Buying them for marathon training so want to make the right choice!
What’s your recommendation for over pronation if you don’t run. I just want something for walking and working with a trainer in a gym doing multiple kinds of workout routines. I need arch support. I’ve only had arahi and the other stability shoe of theirs. I don’t run at all right now. Is there another hoka style you’d recommend or a different brand?
Loved the video! I was wondering if the Arahi is best for someone that stands all day with light lifting, bending, and squatting or if you recommend another shoe? Thank you!
Thanks for watching! You can but I would recommend something like an Altra shoe (Provision or Paradigm) because it's truly flat (zero drop) which is more stable. The dual density foams in stability shoes can cause imbalances when lifting since the foam is harder on one side vs the other.
Hey I just did my first 6 mile street walk / run in a fresh new pair Arahi 6. I am experiencing a deal of pain in my left heel. Is this just adjusting to new shoe or should I return and seek a different make or model? I never experienced this in my old Brooks Adrenaline GTS but that was the first real running shoe I ever really tried.
Brooks makes high drop shoes (12mm) while hokas typically have a low drop of 5mm. Could be your body adjusting as low drop puts more stress on your achilles and calves
I see a lot of reviews and comments regarding men's shoes. What about for women? For flat-feet and stability, which shoes would you recommend? I own the Hoka Arahi 5 currently.
Thanks for all the info! Any max cushion, stability shoes that you like better than the Arahi? I’m a big guy with weak ankles so I’m trying to find the perfect shoe. Currently running in the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21 and they’re a little too stiff for me. Thanks!
Just reviewed the Saucony Tempus and it's my new favorite stability shoe (comes out later in June). The Asics Gel-Kayano LITE (1 or 2) is another great option.
I don’t recommend training in stability shoes since they have dual density foams which are deigned for running and not lifting/training. The Hoka Kawana is probably a good option. Firmer midsole means it’s better for workouts but still has a good walking/running shoe form factor. The metcon and Nano X1/X2 are true training shoes and work well for walking too.
My feet don’t overpronate but they’re on the flat side. My local shoe store did a scan and said yes I do have flat feet but they’re are not severely flat. Would you say the Arahi would be better vs the Clifton for flat feet or the Clifton?
Probably the Arahi just because it has more medial support. The Clifton is relatively stable too since it has such a wide base so that's not a bad option either. If you don't have a stability shoe yet go with the Arahi, if you do, I would say go with the Clifton since it's good to mix up the type of shoes you run in to prevent injury. Thaks for watching!
Which one is better Hoka one one arahi 4, or 5, or 6. For flat feet and over pronation. Cz at mall now they don't have Hoka one one arahi 4 or 5 they only have Hoka one one arahi 6. But at online some shops still sell it. Please give me ur advice and what the difference between all of them. Thank you
So the difference between arahi 6 and 5 is the weight and arahi 6 more firm and stable right. How about arahi 4. Cz arahi 4 cheaper then arahi 5 and arahi 6 hehehe
@@saniyahbalashraf9367 I don't know about the 4 but the difference between the 5 and 6 is just the upper! Pretty much the same shoe! go for the 5 if you want to save money
I love the Hoka design but those shoes don't last more than a year of very light and moderate use (twice a week average 7k) The fabric used for the internal in the heel part last even less plus you can feel the internal stitching on the hell. Another downside is that customer service in Europe is practically non-existent. I sent them photos of the shoe a month ago which is unusable given that the fabric has detached from the sole and on the heel the fabric has holes in various parts and I didn't receive any answer. No more Hoka for me!
I have been using brooks adrenaline GTS with orthotics. The bone below Achilles (behind heel) hurt after all day of walking. What shoe would you recommend for daily use and for training. They don’t have to be the same shoe. If I get shoes where I don’t need orthotics that would be great. Thanks
Try changing the socks you wear first then I would maybe go with something like the Guide 15 from Saucony if you want stability. It has a comfortable upper.
i have both 5 and 6. 6 is terrible. it is lighter but doesn't have good cushioning as 5. upper of 6 is too thick that it can't make my feet stable. Anyway, 6 is better for walking rather than running.
@@RyansRunningReviewsYT which is a better shoe, the Hoka Arahi 6 or the Asics Gel Kayano 28? I plan on using it in the treadmill and for overall gym workout. I have a collapsing arch on both feet and i am currently a bit out of shape and overweight.

Your mom bought this thanks to your review!!
The best comment a son can get :)
Found the 5 for $40 less than the 6, so this helped me see that this was a great deal since they are the same shoe functionally. Great job!
Love to hear it!
Great video! My dad has the Arahi 5 and enjoyed his first Hoka shoe very much. Going to order him the 6 now. Thanks!
Awesome! You can always find the 5 on sale! they really didnt change that much
Great review. Love my 5's. Gonna try the 6.
I love Mach 4/5. But I want an actual outsole for durability. Really thinking about these.

Nice review Ryan. Do you have a preference between the Arahi 6 and Guide 15? And if you do, please share your reasons. Thanks
the Arahi 6 would be my preference since it has a bit of a softer ride and a more noticeable rocker. Although I'm partial to Hokas lol
So helpful thank you!
Great video - really helpful review🏃
Glad it was helpful!
I had to return my Clifton’s :( hurt my feet and causing pronation as well as knee pain? Gonna try the arahi and a brooks

what specifically is a 'stability' shoe. like good for someone who runs city with some downhill who don't want to trip and stuff?
I think Hoka has the Clifton Edge which is designed form something like that. Technically not a stability shoe but Cliftons are relatively stable.

What’s their most stable model in Hoka line?
Either arahi or gaviota
Hows the fit compated to vongo v5?
1080v12 runs roughly a half size larger, similar overall vibe with the hypoknit

Hello, is the Hoka Arahi 6 good for Overweight people with Collapsing Arch issues?
Strengthening and stretching will be the key for overall stability but yes these can work well!

Kayano 28 has more stability! It’s a max stability shoe. It will probably last you longer too!
@@RyansRunningReviewsYT thank you for your response, will continue to support your channel. Keep up the great work.
Not much different from the 5 but it's basically the same price it seems.
