Excellent for a Woman with Bad Knees
I am a big woman (5'8'/230) and need to reduce the heel to toe drop due to osteoarthritis in my knees. I chose men's Hoka Arahi 9.5 D since I am a 10.5-11 women's shoe and for lower heel to toe drop and stability with firm cushion. The shoe box is very adequate, the heel is kind but grippy and the heel to toe drop is 8mm, a huge difference from wearing 20mm. I love them thus far. My knees are so much happier. And they are light for hot weather in So Cal and I like the blue. Nordstrom is the best place to buy shoes, too.
