FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all types of workplace floors?

The Arahi SR is designed for general workplace environments where slip resistance is important. While effective on many surfaces, performance can vary based on specific floor conditions and contaminants. They are not intended for extreme industrial hazards.

Can I wear these shoes for running or intense physical activity?

No, these trainers are designed for workplace safety and comfort during prolonged standing and walking. They do not offer the support or specific features required for running or high-impact activities.

How long does the water-repellent coating typically last?

The duration of the water-repellent coating depends on usage and care. With regular wear and cleaning, its effectiveness may decrease over time. Reapplication of a suitable footwear protector can help maintain its performance.

What is the primary benefit of the H-Frame in this shoe?

The enhanced H-Frame provides crucial stability and support to the foot, particularly beneficial for individuals who spend long hours standing or walking, helping to reduce fatigue and improve alignment.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the UK sizing chart provided by HOKA and measure your foot accordingly. The Arahi SR is available in various UK adult foot sizes to ensure a proper fit.

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand wash using mild soap and water as per the care instructions.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Wear the shoes around the house for a short period to allow them to break in. If discomfort persists, consider if this is the right fit for your foot shape.

Reduced slip resistance

Clean the sole thoroughly to remove any embedded debris or residues that may be impacting grip. If the sole appears significantly worn, it may be time to consider replacement.

Water seeping through despite coating

The water-repellent coating provides splash resistance, not full waterproofing. For prolonged exposure to water, consider a fully waterproof alternative. Ensure the coating has not worn off significantly; reapplication of a suitable protector may help.

Difficulty sliding foot in

Ensure the heel tab is fully extended and use the heel flex design. Avoid forcing your foot in, which can damage the shoe's structure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent slip resistance for safety in hazardous environments.
  • Comfortable for extended wear due to cushioned design and breathable upper.
  • Provides good stability, supporting the foot during long shifts.
  • Water-repellent coating adds a layer of protection against spills.
  • Convenient for quick transitions with the easy-entry heel design.

Cons

  • Not fully waterproof, only splash-resistant.
  • May be warmer than highly breathable athletic shoes due to the protective coatings.
  • Primarily designed for specific work environments, may lack the versatility for casual wear.
  • Durability in extremely harsh industrial settings may vary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The HOKA Arahi SR trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult male foot sizes and are best suited for professional environments requiring slip resistance and comfort. They are compatible with standard work attire.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For the vented mesh upper and water-repellent coating, use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub the affected area and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Remove mud and debris from the slip-resistant sole using a brush and water. Ensure all grooves are clear for maximum traction.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Water Repellency: The water-repellent coating may diminish over time with heavy use and cleaning. Consider using a fabric protector spray suitable for footwear to refresh its properties if needed, following the spray manufacturer's instructions.
