FAQs

The Arahi 8 is ideal for adult male runners who experience mild to moderate overpronation and are looking for a stable yet well-cushioned shoe for road running.
How does the H-Frame™ technology work?
The H-Frame™ is a stabilizing technology integrated into the midsole. It provides support to prevent excessive inward rolling of the foot (overpronation) without feeling rigid or overly corrective, ensuring a smoother gait cycle.
Is the Arahi 8 suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, the balanced cushioning, enhanced heel comfort, and stable ride make the Arahi 8 well-suited for long-distance road running and marathon training.
What has changed from previous Arahi models?
The Arahi 8 features an improved fit with a new last, a streamlined silhouette, and enhanced H-Frame™ technology that allows for softer foams. It also offers increased heel cushioning and an 8mm heel-to-toe drop.
Are the materials used in the Arahi 8 sustainable?
The upper mesh incorporates recycled materials, including 62% recycled Nylon, 25% recycled CDP, and 11% recycled Polyester, contributing to a more sustainable design.
How should I clean my Arahi 8 trainers?
Clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not machine wash.
What is the weight of the HOKA Arahi 8?
The HOKA Arahi 8 weighs approximately 276.00 grams.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly, not overtightened. If the issue persists, the specific last might not be ideal for your foot shape. Consider trying a different size or width if available, or exploring alternative models.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The EVA midsole will naturally compress with use. This is normal wear. For performance, consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles) or when noticeable degradation occurs.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the outsole offers good traction, extremely wet or slick surfaces can pose a challenge for any shoe. Run with caution in very wet conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris, which can also affect grip.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Gently clean the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive scrubbing that could damage the fabric or its structure.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Clean the trainers by hand using a mild soap and cold water. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub away dirt. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can warp the shape and materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their form.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
