Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Hoka Arahi 9 trainers, proper fit and maintenance are essential. When first putting them on, ensure the laces are snug across the midfoot to leverage the engineered mesh's support, but avoid over-tightening near the collar to prevent pressure points.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water. Remove mud immediately after runs to prevent it from settling into the mesh fabric.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the foam cushioning.
- Replacement: Plan to evaluate the outsole wear every 400–600 miles (650–950 km), as the support capabilities of the midsole foam will eventually degrade over time.
