FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for casual wear?
While comfortable, the HOKA Arahi SR is specifically engineered with workplace features like slip resistance and stability. For casual wear, you might prefer a model designed for everyday use.
How do I clean the vented mesh upper?
Use a soft brush with mild soap and water to gently clean the mesh. Avoid excessive scrubbing. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry.
What does 'enhanced H-Frame' mean?
The H-Frame is a stability feature integrated into the midsole that helps guide the foot through its natural gait cycle, providing support and preventing excessive pronation.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand-washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method for cleaning.
How long does the water-repellent coating typically last?
The duration of the water-repellent coating depends on usage frequency and environmental conditions. Regular cleaning and occasional reapplication of a fabric protector can help maintain its effectiveness.
What is the main advantage of the heel flex design?
The heel flex design is engineered for quick and easy entry. It allows the heel to collapse slightly, making it simpler to slide your foot into the shoe without needing to untie laces (if applicable to the specific model variation) or excessive manipulation.
What size foot does a UK 9.5 correspond to?
A UK 9.5 is a standard men's shoe size. It is important to try them on or consult a size chart if you are unsure of your exact fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Consider using different socks if the current ones are too thick.
Reduced slip resistance
Clean the outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove any accumulated dirt, oil, or debris that could be compromising grip.
Water-repellent coating seems less effective
Clean the shoes and consider reapplying a suitable fabric protector spray designed for footwear. Note that this coating may naturally degrade with extensive use and cleaning.
Difficulty sliding foot in
Ensure the heel collar is fully open. Gently flex the heel as designed. If the shoe is the correct size, the heel should allow for easy entry.
