As a premier cushioned stability shoe, the Arahi combines this guidance with a protective compression-moulded EVA midsole. The early-stage Meta-Rocker geometry propels you forward, ensuring every transition from landing to toe-off is smooth and efficient. The supportive flat-knit upper delivers excellent breathability and a secure midfoot lockdown, further improved by a plush tongue and dual gusset that keep your foot firmly in place.
For runners seeking a supportive running shoe for overpronation that doesn't sacrifice a lively feel, the HOKA Arahi is the perfect daily road running shoe for men/women, ready for any distance.
The HOKA Arahi range, including the Arahi 7, is ideal for runners seeking lightweight stability. It’s designed for those who overpronate or need extra support, offering a secure, stable ride without the bulk or rigidity of traditional stability shoes. The Arahi is also popular with runners who want comfort for long distances and daily training.
The Arahi uses HOKA’s J-Frame™ technology—a firmer foam shaped like a “J” that runs along the medial side and around the heel. This innovative design delivers targeted support to control overpronation, while the rest of the midsole remains soft and cushioned. The result is a stable yet natural-feeling ride, free from intrusive posts or stiffness.
Yes, the HOKA Arahi is available in wide fit options for both men and women. This ensures a comfortable, non-restrictive fit for runners with broader feet, while still providing the same stability and cushioning benefits as the standard width models.
The Arahi is well-suited to long-distance running thanks to its lightweight build, plush CMEVA foam cushioning, and Meta-Rocker geometry, which encourages smooth transitions and reduces lower leg fatigue. Many runners find it comfortable for half marathons, marathons, and extended training sessions.
The Arahi 7 scores highly for durability, with a robust upper and outsole that withstand daily mileage. Lab tests show excellent resistance to wear in both the toebox and heel padding, and the outsole rubber is hard enough to endure heavy use, even for heel strikers.
Yes, the Arahi 7 comes with a removable insole, allowing you to easily insert your own orthotics or insoles for a personalised fit and support.
