Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Arahi SR is a slip-resistant stability shoe designed for adult males working in environments requiring enhanced traction and comfort. Its key benefit is providing a smooth, stable ride with on-the-job slip resistance and water-repellent protection. A potential caveat is that stability shoes may not be ideal for all foot types or gaits. This shoe features a vented mesh upper, an enhanced H-Frame for stability, and a water-repellent coating for splash resistance.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The HOKA Arahi SR is designed primarily as a work shoe with slip resistance and stability. While it shares cushioning with other HOKA running shoes, it is not optimized for running performance and may feel heavier or more restrictive than dedicated running models.
How do I know if I need a stability shoe?
Stability shoes are generally recommended for individuals who overpronate (their foot rolls inward excessively) or those who prefer a more supportive shoe to help guide their stride. If you're unsure, consult a footwear specialist or podiatrist.
Can I wear these shoes casually?
While the comfort is high, the design is specifically geared towards professional environments with its slip-resistant features and stability elements. They may not align with all casual fashion preferences.
How long does the water-repellent coating typically last?
The longevity of the water-repellent coating varies with usage and environmental conditions. It is a treated surface that can wear down over time. Regular cleaning and occasional reapplication of a suitable spray can help maintain its effectiveness.
What is the main difference between the Arahi SR and the standard Arahi?
The Arahi SR is specifically designed for workplace safety, featuring a slip-resistant outsole and enhanced water repellency. The standard Arahi is a general running shoe focused on road running performance and stability.
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and stability features. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for care.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Wear with appropriate socks. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consider if this particular stability shoe is the right fit for your foot type.
Traction is reduced on certain surfaces
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded debris or contaminants that may be affecting grip. Ensure the surfaces you are walking on are within the expected performance range of the slip-resistant sole.
Water repellency seems to have decreased
The water-repellent coating can diminish with wear. Consider applying a fabric-safe water-repellent spray suitable for athletic footwear to refresh its protective properties.
Vents in the mesh are clogged
Gently use a soft brush or a damp cloth to clean out any debris from the mesh vents. Allow to air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The HOKA Arahi SR is ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and support.
Compatibility:
This shoe is designed for adult male wearers and is ideal for professional settings that require slip resistance and stability. It is compatible with standard socks.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the vented mesh upper with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Remove any debris from the outsole grooves. Clean with a brush and mild soap if necessary. Ensure the outsole is dry before wearing.
- Water Repellency: While the shoe has a water-repellent coating, avoid prolonged immersion in water. To maintain optimal performance, reapply a suitable water-repellent spray designed for footwear if the coating appears to diminish over time.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid direct sunlight.
