Diane Not enough cushioning; don’t like the H-frame.
A surprisingly sleek stability shoe.
Anything but your average stability shoe, the Arahi 8 maintains a secure ride while using softer materials than its predecessor. The secret lies in Hoka's enhanced H-frame™ technology. A stabilizing system that combats overpronation while providing a smooth entry into the gait cycle, Hoka has paired their intuitive H-frame™ with a sleek jacquard upper and low-profile tooling to deliver a streamlined stability shoe with unprecedented cushioning.
