What’s different in the new Hoka Arahi-7 Shoe compared to the previous editions?

Compared to the previous editions, we have noticed some modifications in this new arrival. Comparatively, Hoka Arahi-7 has a descending slope, and thus it drops a tad more.

There’s also a newly incorporated full-length support inward. However, from the design and appearance point of view, honestly, as we have compared it side by side with its predecessors, we have to agree that it is pretty much the same and has not changed much.

Does Hoka Arahi-7 strike an appropriate balance between comfort and support?

We often hear the myth that support and comfort cannot co-exist. Thus, while we were evaluating and testing the Hoka Arahi 7, we were laser-focused on whether we were getting both comfort and support adequately or not.

 However, it is fully logical and sensible to state that Hoka Arahi-7 has successfully debunked this myth and efficiently blended an accurate and compelling combination of comfort and support. There are no two ways about it,, and we can assure you that.

Pros and Cons ( Hoka Arahi-7)

Pros:

• The Comfort Factor: The most significant edge of a shoe always has to guarantee comfort, and Hoka Arahi-7 aces this unit. Its smooth, cushiony feel gives a very premium experience and ultimately assures a comfy walking venture.

• Pricing: If compared with other brands, the prices of the shoes will appear high and many might feel it is overpriced, which is one of the typical complaints Hoka faces for all their products
