Hoka Arahi 7
Sizing & fit guide

Our verdict

True to size

The Hoka Arahi 7 fits true to size in length — order your normal running size. It's the stability sibling of the Clifton and shares Hoka's narrow last, so regular and narrow feet are fine true to size, while wide feet should look at the Wide version. Note that Hoka's Wide runs less wide than many expect.

Why the Hoka Arahi 7 fits this way

The Arahi 7 is Hoka's lightweight stability trainer — essentially the supportive version of the Clifton — and on length it fits true to size. Owners report ordering their normal running size and getting a good fit; one long-term Arahi wearer fits perfectly at their usual US 8.5, with it getting a little tight only with thicker socks.

Like the rest of the Hoka line, the Arahi has a fairly narrow last, so the same width guidance applies: narrow and regular feet are well served at true size, while wide feet should consider the Wide. One important caveat specific to the Arahi: runners warn that the Arahi's Wide version doesn't run especially wide — "be careful ordering the Arahi Wide, they're not wide" — so wide-footed runners shouldn't assume the Wide will feel generous, and may want to try before committing.

There's less Arahi-specific sizing chatter than for Hoka's headline models, so this verdict leans partly on the shoe's close relationship to the Clifton and the consistent brand-wide fit pattern. Bottom line: true to size in length; mind the narrow last, and don't over-rely on the Wide for serious width.

Common scenarios

I wear US 10 in running shoes. What size Arahi 7?

US 10 — the Arahi 7 fits true to size in length, like the Clifton it's based on. If you have wide feet, look at the Wide, but be aware Hoka's Arahi Wide runs less wide than expected.

Does the Arahi fit like the Clifton?

Yes — the Arahi is essentially the stability version of the Clifton, with a similar true-to-size length and narrow last. Carry the same size between them.

I have wide feet. Is the Arahi Wide enough?

Maybe not. Runners specifically warn that the Arahi's Wide version isn't very wide. Try it on if you can, or consider a roomier stability shoe if you have genuinely wide feet.
