Hoka One One W Arahi 8 Alabaster/Lingonberry

My first experience with shoes that have this type of cushioning. WOW no pressure points at all!

This shoes is very stable and that was enough to fix my knees.

These Hokas are so comfortable and have a supportive arch to avoid pronation

I purchased HOKA Arahi 8 after my regular shoes--Brooks Adrenaline--was redesigned and they screwed it up badly. I've had 15 pairs of Brooks, but the redesign made them unwearable for me. These HOKAs are fantastic! They are supportive and cushioning and are my new go-to.

I bought these because they are marketed as "Maximum Cushion" on REI website, so I figured it would be like the Bondi but with more stability. I can wear the Bondi all day for 10 hours on concrete and its no problem. These made my feet hurt after 4 hours. They are at best Moderate Cushion and completely different. Not sure what the cushion rating really means if this is "maximum" but I was almost limping at the end of a 7 hour shift.
