TERRIBLE if you like Arahi 6 and 7.
No, I do not recommend this product
I use dthese shoes for a whole day in Yosemite. No hikes. Only casual walks and standing in cafeteria lines. My heels are killing me. Did they increase the heel to toe drop compared to Arahi 6 and 7? I feel like my whole body's weight is falling on ONLY my heels rather than spreading it throughout the feet. I tried giving it a benefit of doubt by wearing them the whole day in office, SAME RESULT!! These shoes are ROCK HARD on your heels. I don't know why but Hoka is going downhill in their stability shoes department. They only have like 2-3 stability shoes, Arahis being one of them. I like Arahi 6 and 7, but because they were snugger mid-foot. This made them great for overpronators because it used to restrict the inward roll. But they made Arahi 8 and Arahi 9 wider compared to their previous counterparts. This has completely destroyed their stability feature. You have such a large collection for neutral people but you HAD to ruin the only few stability shoe to make to appeal to wider audience? This exact same review goes to Gaviota 6 too. THUMBS DOWN!
