Hoka Arahi 6 delivers a delightfully smooth ride to pronators without sacrificing stability thanks to it’s unique J-Frame system. Combined with a great fitting super-comfy upper similar to other Hoka shoes. the Arahi 6 is a great option for running and walking mile after mile.

WHY PACERS CARRIES THESE SHOES:

Hoka Arahi 6 brings the Hoka lightweight cushioning experience to runners who need added stability to correct overpronation. The experience of highly cushioned running shoes is a delight. but one drawback is that stability is often lacking (think about standing on a pillow). but the Arahi design overcomes this problem with a J shaped piece of foam that cups the foot and heel in more stable foam while the rest of the foot sits on lighter softer foam that Hoka is known for. Of course shoes are more than foam. and the fit and comfort of the Hoka Arahi 6 is great from top to bottom.
