Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your HOKA Arahi 9 trainers, ensure you have the correct size and width—the model referenced is a standard EE wide fit, which provides extra volume in the forefoot.
- Break-in Period: While these shoes feel comfortable out of the box, wear them for shorter runs first to allow the engineered mesh to adapt to your foot shape.
- Lacing: Use the eyelets to ensure a secure lockdown. Avoid overtightening over the arch to maintain proper circulation.
- Cleaning: Hand wash the uppers with mild soap and cold water. Remove the insoles to clean and air dry separately. Never machine wash or place in a dryer, as heat can degrade the cushioning foam and the adhesive integrity of the upper.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material breakdown.
