How it ranks
The HOKA Arahi 4 trails most daily trainers in our data. Cushioning and comfort are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 2 runner reviews and 7 other rated shoes in the Arahi product line. Another 10 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Current estimate: Bottom-tier
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
61/100
Based on product-line history, external ratings, and 2 runner ratings.
