Materials and Design Features

• Midsole: Dual-density compression-molded EVA foam for soft, balanced cushioning.
• Stability Support: Enhanced H-Frame technology designed to manage mild-to-moderate overpronation by supporting both the medial and lateral sides of the stride.
• Upper: Engineered mesh woven tighter on the medial (inner) side for extra arch structure, accented with haptic prints, 3D silicone touchpoints, and reflective details.
• Outsole: Podular design utilizing super-abrasion rubber in high-wear zones for durability and grip.

Sizing and Length

• True to Size: Most reviewers and video breakdowns state that you should select your usual US running shoe size.
• Length: The overall length matches standard sizing expectations without feeling short or long.

Width and Upper Feel

• Medial Hug: The medium width feels slightly more snug across the arch than the Arahi 8 because of the new engineered mesh.
• Targeted Support: The upper uses a tighter weave on the medial (arch) side to lock the foot in place, while keeping the lateral side more open.
• Width Options: It is available in standard medium (D) and wide (2E) options to accommodate higher-volume feet.

Heel and Toe Box

• Toe Box: Provides standard room for natural toe splay, feeling slightly more forgiving in the forefoot than more tapered Hoka stability models like the Gaviota.
• Heel Lockdown: Features a well-padded collar and articulated heel counter. An extra eyelet is included for runners who need a heel-lock lacing technique to prevent slippage.

• Managing Overpronation: Features an enhanced dual-density Compression-Molded EVA (CMEVA) midsole paired with HOKA's stabilizing H-Frame™ technology to gently guide your foot and reduce excessive inward rolling. [
• Easy and Recovery Miles: Built as a comfortable daily trainer for steady, everyday road miles, easy recovery jogs, and long walks.
• All-Day Standing and Walking: The rocker geometry and stable platform provide a smooth heel-to-toe transition that holds up well during long shifts on your feet or extended walking sessions.
• Hot Climates: Includes an updated, highly breathable engineered mesh upper with a tighter medial weave for extra arch-side lockdown.
