Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Arahi 8 is designed for adult male runners seeking a stable yet cushioned experience for road running. Its key benefit is the enhanced H-Frame™ technology, which provides support against overpronation without overcorrecting the gait, offering a smoother ride. A potential consideration is its specific focus on stability, which might feel different for neutral runners.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the H-Frame™ technology?
The H-Frame™ technology provides stability by helping to prevent overpronation, guiding your foot into a more neutral path without overcorrecting your natural gait.
Is the Arahi 8 suitable for neutral runners?
While the Arahi 8 offers balanced cushioning, its primary design is for stability. Neutral runners may prefer a shoe without the H-Frame™ technology, but some may still find the cushioning and fit comfortable for daily training.
What is the heel-to-toe drop on the Arahi 8?
The Arahi 8 has a heel-to-toe drop of 8.00 mm.
How much does the Arahi 8 weigh?
The shoe weighs approximately 276.00 grams.
What is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a double jacquard mesh, with 62% recycled Nylon, 25% recycled CDP, 11% recycled Polyester, and 2% spandex.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The Arahi 8 is specifically designed for road running. The outsole and cushioning are optimized for pavement and hard surfaces, not the varied terrain of trails.
How do I clean my HOKA Arahi 8 shoes?
Spot clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. The double jacquard mesh upper may require some break-in time for a personalized fit.
Discomfort or rubbing during runs
Ensure socks are properly fitted and do not bunch up. Check for any debris inside the shoe. Break in the shoes gradually over a few runs.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
While the EVA foam is durable, its cushioning properties can degrade with extensive use (typically after 300-500 miles). Consider replacing the shoes when performance diminishes.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The podular outsole is designed for road traction but may offer less grip on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Arahi 8 is designed for road running. It is compatible with most running sock types. For optimal performance, ensure you select the correct size.
Care:
- Cleaning: Spot clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
