What is the primary difference from previous Arahi models?
The Arahi 9 features an updated H-frame design and refined upper materials to provide a more streamlined feel and enhanced structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the medial arch
Ensure the laces are not pulled too tightly at the midfoot and check that you have the correct width size.
Early wear on the outer sole
Rotate your shoes with another pair to allow the midsole foam to decompress fully between runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your HOKA Arahi 9, ensure your sizing accounts for the specific width requirements of your foot, as the model is available in various wide fit options. When preparing for your first run, allow the upper to settle by performing a dynamic warm-up. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the midsole foam and adhesive integrity. Instead, clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap, then allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Remove the sockliner after wet runs to help the interior dry thoroughly.
