Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or arches feeling tight
Ensure the laces are not too tight over the midfoot; adjust the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points.
Visible wear on the outsole after few miles
Check your running gait to ensure you are not dragging your feet; also ensure you are not using these on abrasive off-road terrain.
Upper material losing shape
Avoid storing shoes in damp areas and do not leave them compressed inside gym bags for extended periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Hoka Arahi 9, start by ensuring the correct size—this model is available in various UK sizes and widths. When putting them on, ensure the laces are tightened evenly across the bridge of the foot to take advantage of the structured upper. For care, avoid machine washing or drying. Clean the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap, then allow the shoes to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the cushioning foam.
