Work-Ready Stability. Slip-Resistant Traction. All-Day HOKA Comfort.

The HOKA Arahi SR Women’s Wide – Black/Black takes the supportive feel of the Arahi and reworks it specifically for long days on your feet.

Designed by HOKA for professional use, the Arahi SR combines an enhanced H-Frame™ stability system with a slip-resistant outsole, breathable textile upper and a durable water-repellent treatment for splash-resistant protection.

This Wide version provides a more accommodating fit, making it a strong option for healthcare, hospitality, retail and other occupations where you're standing and moving for hours at a time.

Enhanced H-Frame™ stability

At the heart of the Arahi SR is HOKA's enhanced H-Frame™, providing structured stability through the shoe while maintaining a smooth underfoot experience.

HOKA places the Arahi SR at the stable end of its stability scale, making this a genuine supportive option rather than simply a neutral work shoe with a broad base.

Slip-resistant traction

The SR is important here — HOKA specifically equips this version with a slip-resistant outsole designed to provide additional on-the-job traction.

That's what separates the Arahi SR from the standard Arahi running shoe and makes it particularly relevant for professional environments where reliable footing matters.

Splash-resistant protection

The breathable textile upper features a PFC/PFAS-free durable water-repellent coating, providing splash-resistant protection while retaining breathability.

Importantly, I would describe this as water-repellent or splash-resistant — not waterproof, because that's how HOKA officially positions it.

Easy step-in heel

HOKA has incorporated a TPU Freedom external step-in heel counter.

The specially designed heel can flex as you slide your foot into the shoe before springing back into position, making the Arahi SR easier to get on and off — particularly handy when it's being used as an everyday work shoe.

Balanced cushioning

Despite its professional focus, the Arahi SR retains HOKA's cushioned underfoot feel.

HOKA places the shoe around the balanced portion of its cushioning scale, rather than at the extremely plush end. This gives it cushioning for long periods on your feet while maintaining the stable platform expected from the Arahi family.

Wide fit

This particular model is the Women's Wide version of the Arahi SR, providing additional room compared with the standard women's model.

For True Stryde, I'd make Wide prominent in both the title and product tags because customers specifically searching for supportive wide-fit work shoes are a very relevant audience for this model.
