FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The HOKA Arahi SR are designed for workplace safety and stability, not for general running. While they offer comfort, their specific construction is optimized for slip resistance and support in professional environments.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoes should feel snug but not tight. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure without excessive slipping.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What is the intended use for the HOKA Arahi SR?
These shoes are intended for adult males working in professions that require slip-resistant footwear, such as healthcare, hospitality, food service, and certain manufacturing roles.
How often should I reapply the water-repellent coating?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental exposure. It's advisable to reapply a fabric protector spray every few months or when you notice a decrease in water repellency.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
Yes, the HOKA Arahi SR features an enhanced H-Frame for stability, which provides inherent arch support. The design aims to keep the foot stable and comfortable throughout the day.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight upon first wear.
This is common with new footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. Ensure you have the correct size.
Reduced slip resistance noticed.
Check the outsole for embedded debris. Clean the sole thoroughly with water and a brush. The slip-resistant properties are most effective on clean surfaces.
Water repellency seems diminished.
The water-repellent coating can wear off. Reapply a fabric protector spray suitable for athletic shoes, following the product's instructions.
Discomfort during long shifts.
Ensure the shoes are the correct size and width. The HOKA Arahi SR offers inherent cushioning; consider if custom insoles might further enhance comfort for your specific needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The HOKA Arahi SR trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. No specific setup is required. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and support.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult male foot sizes and are best suited for professional work environments that mandate slip-resistant footwear. They are not intended for casual wear or general athletic activities.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can warp the shoe.
- Water Repellent Coating: The water-repellent properties may diminish over time. Consider using a fabric protector spray suitable for athletic footwear to maintain this feature. Follow the product's instructions for application.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and damage.
