HOKA Arahi SR Professional Use Shoes - Black - 8.5

The HOKA Arahi SR is optimized for workplace traction and stability. While comfortable for walking, they are not designed as dedicated running shoes.

Your heel should feel secure without excessive rubbing, and there should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the shoe's end. The slip-resistant sole requires a snug fit for optimal performance.

We do not recommend machine washing. Hand wash with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, and air dry.

The Arahi SR features a slip-resistant sole, a water-repellent coating, and a vented mesh upper specifically for professional environments, whereas the original Arahi is designed for road running.

The sole is constructed with durable rubber compounds designed to withstand regular use in demanding environments. However, performance may vary depending on the specific surfaces encountered.

The H-Frame is integrated into the shoe's structure to provide stability. Most users find it comfortable and supportive, but it may be noticeable initially as your foot adjusts to the enhanced support.

Allow for a break-in period of several wears. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and width. Consider wearing thinner socks initially.

Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt or contaminants. Check for excessive wear on the tread pattern.

The water-repellent coating may naturally diminish with wear. Consider applying a compatible waterproofing spray suitable for athletic footwear, following the product's instructions.

Ensure you are engaging the heel correctly; it is designed to flex. Practice sliding your foot in and out a few times to get accustomed to the mechanism.
