HOKA Arahi 8 - Grey - Size 12

The HOKA Arahi 8 is designed for adult male runners who require stability to manage overpronation. It's suitable for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs, offering a blend of cushioning and support.

The H-Frame technology provides stability by guiding the foot through a natural gait cycle, helping to control overpronation. It achieves this support without feeling overly rigid or clunky, allowing for a smoother ride.

The shoe features a dual-density compression-moulded EVA midsole, which offers significant softness and responsive cushioning, designed to absorb impact effectively and provide comfort over long distances.

While neutral runners can wear the Arahi 8 due to its smooth ride and cushioning, the stability features of the H-Frame are specifically engineered for those who overpronate. Neutral runners might find a dedicated neutral shoe offers a more tailored experience.

Spot clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

The HOKA Arahi 8 has a heel-to-toe drop of 8mm.

The HOKA Arahi 8 weighs approximately 276 grams.

Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. Try different lacing techniques to customize the midfoot lockdown. If discomfort persists, consider if this is the correct size or width for your foot. Refer to sizing charts and consult with a footwear specialist if needed.

The midsole cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Try cleaning the shoes as per care instructions. If the issue persists after significant mileage (typically over 300-500 miles), it may be time to consider replacing the shoes.

While the outsole provides good traction, wet conditions can always reduce grip. Ensure you are running at a moderate pace on very wet surfaces. The shoe is designed for standard road conditions, not extreme wet-weather grip.
