Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Arahi SR trainers are designed for adult men working in professional environments requiring slip resistance and comfort. Their key benefit is providing on-the-job traction and superior comfort through stability features and a cushioned ride. A potential caveat is their specific suitability for workplace safety requirements rather than general athletic performance. These shoes feature a vented mesh upper, an enhanced H-Frame for stability, a water-repellent coating, and a specially designed heel for easy entry and exit.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The HOKA Arahi SR is designed primarily for workplace safety and comfort, featuring slip-resistant properties and stability. While they offer cushioning, they are not optimized for high-impact running activities and may lack the specific features of dedicated running shoes.
How do I clean the vented mesh upper?
Use a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What does 'SR' stand for?
'SR' typically denotes 'Slip Resistant', indicating the shoe's primary safety feature designed for hazardous work environments.
Can I wear these shoes outside of work?
While the comfort and cushioning are suitable for casual wear, the specific design elements like the slip-resistant outsole are geared towards professional environments. You can wear them casually, but their main advantages are in a work setting.
How effective is the water-repellent coating?
The coating provides protection against splashes and light moisture. It is not designed to make the shoes waterproof for submersion or heavy rain.
What is the H-Frame technology?
The H-Frame is an internal support system within the shoe that enhances stability and guides the foot, providing a secure and supportive feel, particularly beneficial for those who overpronate.
What sizes are available?
These shoes are available in various adult men's UK sizes. Please refer to the product listing for the full range of available sizes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel 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. Check that the laces are not overtightened.
Reduced slip resistance
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt, oil, or debris that may be hindering traction.
Water seeping through the upper
The water-repellent coating is designed for splashes. For significant immersion, water may penetrate. Ensure the coating is still intact; consider reapplying a water-repellent spray if needed.
Difficulty sliding feet in
Ensure the heel collar is fully flexed and that socks are not bunched up. The heel is designed for easy entry, but a slight adjustment may be needed.

Compatibility: The HOKA Arahi SR is designed for professional environments where slip resistance is a requirement. It is compatible with most standard workplace attire. The shoe is intended for walking and standing for extended periods.
Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of your Arahi SR trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap to clean the vented mesh upper. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Wipe the slip-resistant outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Ensure the tread is clear for maximum grip.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Water Repellency: The water-repellent coating may diminish over time with wear. Consider using a fabric-safe water-repellent spray for reapplication if needed, following the spray manufacturer's instructions.
