I cant stop wearing them.

After six months of wear during workouts, I’m still loving them.

Hoka Arahi 7

These Arahi 7 sneakersare unlike any shoe Ive owned before.

Honestly, I really wasnt sure if Id like them when I first chucked them on.

Theyre quite stiff and snuga far cry from the pillowy base of my Ghost Maxs.

But the more I wore them, the more I realized I actually loved them.

My consistent workouts are split by two: a round of cardio and a round ofstrength trainingwith weights.

I end up tilting where the cushion tapers, or my ankles end up moving around up top.

These Arahi 7 sneakers were by far the best shoe I have ever worn for preventing these movements.

They have a very stiff base, with a balanced level of cushion.

Its a firmer material than other sneakers Ive tried, even from the same brand.

The cushion does taper from the heel to the toe, but its a very smooth transition.

This stiffness and flatness helps keep my feet laying flush and in place.

The mesh upper also contributes to keeping me stable.

This upper is the primary change from the previous model, the Arahi 6.

There are more design elements that have made this shoe stand out for me.

While I love this shoe for my workouts, there are a few aspects to keep in mind.

I look forward to putting these shoes on everytime I workout now, especially for strength training.
