Beth's Superstar Shoe: Arahi 8

My superstar shoe is the Hoka Arahi 8, due to its versatility and added support. I recently joined Pure Running in October and the Arahi has been a very popular model among customers, two of whom being my mum and brother.

The versatility of the shoe is a key selling point. My mum uses them for comfort on her long working day in between visits in her social work job, the long lasting comfort and extra arch support helps her over-pronation, whilst still being stylish in the white with pink laces and black colour ways. For my mum, who has owned various pairs of Hoka shoes, the Arahi have been the stand out in comfort and adaptability, between her working and non-working days. 

On the other hand, my Brother uses the Arahi 8 for his recovery and long runs, he also benefits from the added support and a slightly firmer sole, in comparison to the Bondi. Similar to mum, he's tried various different brands of easy/recovery trainers, yet always returns to the Arahi, since he finds it works best for him. 

The Hoka Arahi 8 is a great versatile shoe that can be used for the wonderful everyday and running, making it a great all rounder, at a good price of £140.
