FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all types of workplaces?
The Arahi SR is best suited for workplaces requiring slip resistance and stability, such as kitchens, hospitals, or industrial settings. They may not be ideal for environments needing full waterproofing or specialized safety features like steel toes.
How do I break in the HOKA Arahi SR shoes?
Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. They are designed for comfort, but a brief break-in period can help them conform perfectly to your feet.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, the water-repellent coating, and the structural integrity of the shoe. Hand clean as per the care instructions.
What is the difference between Arahi SR and the regular Arahi?
The Arahi SR is specifically designed for professional use with a focus on slip resistance and a water-repellent coating, while the regular Arahi is a general running and lifestyle shoe.
How often should I check the slip-resistant tread?
Regularly inspect the outsole for wear and tear, especially after heavy use or exposure to abrasive surfaces. Clean the tread after each use to maintain optimal grip.
Is the H-Frame supportive enough for flat feet?
The H-Frame provides stability for a range of foot types, including those needing support. However, individuals with severe pronation issues may benefit from consulting a podiatrist or adding custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. Consider trying a different size or consulting the sizing guide. Allow a break-in period of a few wears.
Reduced slip resistance.
Clean the outsole thoroughly with water and mild soap to remove any oil, grease, or debris that may be hindering traction. Ensure the shoe is completely dry before use.
Foot fatigue after a full shift.
While designed for comfort, extreme fatigue might indicate a need for insoles tailored to your specific foot type or activity level. Verify the shoe size is correct and provides adequate support.
Water begins to seep through.
The water-repellent coating is designed for splashes, not immersion. If significant wetting occurs, allow shoes to air dry completely. Consider reapplying a suitable water-repellent treatment if performance degrades.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The HOKA Arahi SR requires no special setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal performance and comfort.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adult male wear and are ideal for professional environments demanding slip resistance and stability. They are compatible with standard work attire.
Care: To maintain the shoe's performance and longevity:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and debris from the vented mesh. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Water Repellent Treatment: Periodically, you may need to reapply a water-repellent treatment suitable for mesh and synthetic materials if the original coating appears diminished.
- Outsole Care: Clean the outsole with water and a mild soap to remove any embedded debris that could affect traction. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
