Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Arahi SR is a slip-resistant stability shoe designed for adult men working in professional environments that require enhanced traction and all-day comfort. Its key benefit is providing reliable on-the-job grip and a supportive, cushioned ride, even during long shifts. A potential caveat is that while designed for work, individual comfort can vary based on specific foot types and workplace demands. Key features include a vented mesh upper for breathability, an enhanced H-Frame for stability, water-repellent coating, and an easy-entry heel design.

FAQs
What type of work environments is the HOKA Arahi SR best suited for?
The Arahi SR is ideal for professional settings that require good traction and comfort, such as healthcare facilities, restaurants, kitchens, retail environments, and light industrial workplaces.
How does the H-Frame technology benefit the wearer?
The H-Frame technology provides internal stability to help guide the foot and prevent excessive inward rolling (pronation), offering a more stable and supportive ride throughout the day.
Is this shoe suitable for long standing shifts?
Yes, the combination of HOKA's signature cushioning and the supportive H-Frame makes it well-suited for long hours of standing and walking, helping to reduce foot fatigue.
How do I clean the water-repellent coating?
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can degrade the water-repellent treatment over time. You can reapply a water-repellent spray designed for footwear.
Can I wear these shoes for running or intense athletic activities?
No, the Arahi SR is designed as a work shoe with specific features like slip resistance and stability. It is not intended for high-impact athletic activities or running.
What makes the heel design 'easy-entry'?
The heel is designed to be flexible and spring back, allowing you to easily slide your foot in and out of the shoe without excessive effort, which is convenient for frequent on-and-off use.
Does the shoe come in different colors or widths?
The HOKA Arahi SR is available in specific colorways and widths. This guide focuses on the Black colorway, but check product listings for available options.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable on first wear
Allow for a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure the laces are adjusted properly and not overly tightened. If discomfort persists, consider if the size or width is appropriate for your foot.
Reduced slip resistance over time
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush to remove any accumulated dirt, grease, or debris that may be hindering traction. Ensure the surfaces you are walking on are clean.
Mesh upper seems less breathable
Ensure the mesh is free from excessive dirt or lint. Clean gently as per care instructions to restore airflow. Avoid wearing socks that are too thick if breathability is a primary concern.
Water-repellent feature seems less effective
The coating may naturally wear down over time. Consider using a re-waterproofing spray designed for footwear, following product instructions. Avoid using harsh detergents during cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of your Arahi SR shoes:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the vented mesh upper with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush to remove any debris from the outsole grooves. Wipe with a damp cloth if necessary.
