Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Arahi SR is a slip-resistant stability shoe designed for adult males working in professional environments requiring enhanced traction and comfort. Its key benefit is providing a secure, stable, and comfortable experience on demanding surfaces. A potential caveat is that while designed for workplace safety, it retains the smooth ride of the original Arahi, which might require a brief adjustment period for those accustomed to firmer work shoes.

FAQs
What makes the Arahi SR slip-resistant?
The Arahi SR features a specifically designed outsole pattern and rubber compound that provides enhanced grip on wet and oily surfaces, meeting workplace safety standards for slip resistance.
Is this shoe suitable for running?
No, the HOKA Arahi SR is designed as a professional, slip-resistant shoe for workplace use. It offers comfort and stability but is not intended for running or athletic activities.
How do I clean the water-repellent coating?
The water-repellent coating is part of the shoe's material. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth will help maintain its appearance. The coating's effectiveness may reduce over time with wear; avoid using harsh chemicals that could strip the treatment.
What is the H-Frame technology?
The H-Frame is an extension of the J-Frame technology found in other HOKA stability shoes. It acts as a supportive structure around the heel and midfoot, offering stability and guidance without adding excessive stiffness.
Can I wear these with orthotics?
Yes, the shoe generally has enough room to accommodate most standard orthotics. However, fit can vary, so it's recommended to try them on with your orthotics if possible.
What is the warranty period for this shoe?
Please refer to the retailer's or manufacturer's warranty information for the specific warranty period, as this can vary.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Arahi SR has a water-repellent coating, which helps protect against splashes and light moisture. They are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have the correct size. Wear the shoes around the house for a short period to allow them to mold to your feet. If discomfort persists, consider alternative lacing techniques or check if the shoe size is appropriate.
Traction seems reduced.
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush to remove any dirt, oil, or debris that may be lodged in the tread pattern. Ensure the surface you are walking on is clean.
Mesh upper is dirty.
Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the mesh. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
Heel area is difficult to slide foot into.
Utilize the specially designed heel flex. Gently push your heel back and down as you slide your foot forward. Ensure the shoe is unlaced slightly if needed for initial entry.
