Setup and First Use
Sizing and Fit
Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. HOKA shoes are generally true to size, but it is recommended to try them on, preferably at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen.
- Wear the type of socks you typically use for running.
- Lace the shoes securely but not too tightly, allowing for natural foot movement.
- There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
- Your heel should feel secure, with minimal slippage.
Breaking In
While HOKA shoes are often comfortable from the first wear, it is advisable to gradually break them in.
- Begin with short walks or runs.
- Gradually increase the distance and intensity over several days or weeks.
- Pay attention to any discomfort and adjust lacing or usage as needed.
Usage Guidelines
Intended Use
The HOKA Arahi 7 is specifically designed for road running. While they offer excellent cushioning and support, they are not intended for trail running or activities requiring significant lateral movement.
Running Form
Proper running form can enhance your experience and reduce the risk of injury.
- Maintain an upright posture with a slight forward lean.
- Land softly with your foot beneath your center of gravity.
- Aim for a higher cadence (steps per minute) to reduce impact.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning
Regular cleaning helps maintain the appearance and longevity of your shoes.
- Remove loose dirt with a soft brush.
- Mix mild soap with cold water.
- Use a cloth or sponge to gently clean the upper and sole.
- Rinse with clean water and air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Storage
Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in damp environments, which can promote bacterial growth and odor.
Lifespan
The typical lifespan of running shoes varies depending on usage, running style, and body weight. As a general guideline, replace your running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or every 6-12 months, whichever comes first.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues and Solutions
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Foot Discomfort/Pain | Incorrect sizing, improper lacing, or worn-out cushioning. | Re-evaluate sizing, adjust lacing, consider replacing shoes if they are old. Consult a professional for persistent pain. |
| Excessive Wear on Sole | Overpronation, supination, or high mileage. | The Arahi 7 is designed for stability; if wear patterns indicate severe pronation/supination, consult a running specialist. Monitor mileage and replace shoes as needed. |
| Odor | Moisture buildup and bacterial growth. | Ensure shoes air out completely after each use. Use odor-absorbing inserts or baking soda. Clean regularly. |
