FAQs

What makes the Arahi SR slip-resistant?

The sole is specifically engineered with a unique tread pattern and rubber compound designed to provide enhanced grip on smooth, potentially wet, or oily surfaces common in professional settings.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

The Arahi SR is designed primarily for stability and slip resistance in workplace environments. While it offers comfortable cushioning, it is not optimized for high-impact running activities.

How does the H-Frame provide stability?

The HOKA H-Frame technology is integrated into the midsole to provide a supportive structure that cradles the foot, guiding it through a more stable and efficient gait cycle, especially beneficial during prolonged standing or walking.

Can I wear these shoes for casual everyday use?

While comfortable, their design is optimized for work. For casual wear, other HOKA models might offer a style better suited to non-work activities.

How do I clean the water-repellent coating?

Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which can wear down the coating over time. The coating is most effective when the shoe is clean.

What is the warranty period for the HOKA Arahi SR?

Please refer to the specific warranty information provided by the retailer or HOKA, as warranty periods can vary by region and vendor.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Arahi SR features a water-repellent coating, which helps protect against splashes and light moisture. They are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If still tight, allow for a break-in period of a few wears. Check if the correct size has been selected.

Reduced slip resistance over time

Clean the sole thoroughly with a brush to remove embedded debris. Water and oil can reduce traction, so regular sole cleaning is important.

Feet feel warm

The vented mesh upper is designed for breathability, but in very hot conditions, consider wearing moisture-wicking socks. Ensure shoe laces are not tied too tightly, restricting airflow.

Water seeping through

The water-repellent coating is designed for splashes, not submersion. If the shoes become soaked, allow them to dry completely. For continued protection, consider reapplying a waterproofing treatment suitable for mesh footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The HOKA Arahi SR is ready to wear straight out of the box. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring they fit correctly.

Compatibility: This shoe is designed for adult males and is most compatible with professional work attire. It is intended for use on surfaces where slip resistance is a key requirement.

Care: To maintain the condition of your Arahi SR shoes:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Remove any debris from the sole with a brush. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Water-Repellent Coating: While the coating offers initial protection, its effectiveness may diminish over time with heavy use. Reapplication of a suitable footwear protector spray might be considered after extensive wear, following product instructions.
