HOKA Arahi 8 - Truffle

The HOKA Arahi 8 is positioned as a sleek everyday stability trainer for runners who need guidance for mild to moderate overpronation. The key update is a shift to H‑Frame stability: a firmer H‑shaped structure embedded in the midsole that supports both medial and lateral sides of the foot to limit inward roll without feeling intrusive. This works together with a naturally wide platform and HOKA’s Active Foot Frame, which cradles the foot down in the foam, to deliver inherent, moderate stability that still feels friendly for neutral runners.​

Underfoot, the Arahi 8 gets softer CMEVA cushioning, increased stack height, and a higher 8 mm heel‑to‑toe drop, giving heel strikers a smoother, more cushioned landing than previous versions. A revamped double jacquard mesh upper improves breathability and offers a roomier, more accommodating fit, while the overall tooling stays relatively low‑profile for a stability shoe. The result is a balanced ride that blends plush cushioning, secure guidance, and a modern fit for walking, standing, and easy to moderate‑pace road miles.​
