FAQs
Is the HOKA Arahi 9 suitable for overpronation?
Yes, the shoe features an integrated H-Frame system specifically designed to stabilize the foot and support overpronation.
Can I use these for marathon training?
The Arahi 9's dual-density EVA cushioning and stable platform are well-suited for high-mileage road running, making them a great option for marathon training.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are constructed with an engineered mesh upper for maximum breathability, which is not waterproof.
How often should I replace my Arahi 9s?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Does the reflective detailing work in all light?
The reflective elements are designed to catch and bounce back light in low-light conditions, significantly improving visibility during dawn or dusk runs.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Loosen the traditional lacing system, specifically through the mid-foot area to relieve pressure.
Excessive dirt clogging the mesh
Allow mud to dry completely and gently tap the soles together, then use a soft-bristle brush to clear the mesh gaps.
Sensation of heel slippage
Use the extra top eyelet for a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the heel cup firmly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOKA Arahi 9 shoes last, follow these guidelines:
- Lacing: Use the traditional lacing system to achieve a locked-in feel by tightening from the bottom eyelets upward.
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for shorter walks before moving into long-distance runs to allow the midsole foam to adapt to your stride.
- Cleaning: Spot clean the engineered mesh with a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid using a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the foam and glue structures.
- Air Dry: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the midsole from hardening or losing its responsive properties.
