FAQs
Are the HOKA ONE ONE Restore TC shoes suitable for running or intense workouts?
No, the Restore TC is specifically designed for maximal comfort, recovery, and casual everyday wear. While incredibly comfortable, they are not engineered to provide the support, stability, or responsiveness required for running or high-intensity athletic activities.
How do I clean my Restore TC shoes?
We recommend spot cleaning your Restore TC shoes. Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water to gently wipe away any dirt or stains. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, the HOKA ONE ONE Restore TC's stretchy, sock-like upper is designed for comfortable wear with or without socks, depending on your preference.
What does 'circular economy design' mean for these shoes?
The circular economy design principle for the Restore TC focuses on using minimal materials and a simple, three-part construction. This approach aims to reduce waste and make it potentially easier to recover or recycle materials at the end of the shoe's life cycle, promoting sustainability.
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, HOKA shoes tend to run true to size, but fit can vary based on individual foot shape. We recommend trying your usual UK size. The stretchy upper offers some flexibility in fit.
What kind of support do these shoes offer?
The Restore TC provides exceptional cushioning and comfort for recovery and casual wear, prioritizing a soft and plush underfoot feel. While it offers inherent stability through its wide base, it is not designed with rigid structural arch support found in some athletic footwear.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel too loose or too snug in the slip-ons.
Ensure you have the correct size. The stretchy upper offers some adaptability, but if it feels significantly off, consider trying a half size up or down. Wearing thin socks can also slightly adjust the fit.
The shoes make a slight squeaking noise on certain floor surfaces.
This can occasionally happen with EVA outsoles, particularly when new or on smooth, polished floors. It often diminishes with wear. If persistent, ensure the insoles are properly seated. Some users find a very light dusting of cornstarch on the insole can help.
I don't feel enough arch support for my needs.
The Restore TC prioritizes maximal cushioning and recovery over rigid arch support. If you require significant arch support, these may not be your primary walking or standing shoe. Consider using custom orthotics or choosing a shoe specifically designed for high arch support if this is a critical requirement.
The shoes seem to retain odors after prolonged use.
Ensure regular airing out of the shoes after wear. If necessary, remove the insoles to air dry separately. For a deeper refresh, use a shoe deodorizer spray. Avoid sealing them in airtight bags when damp.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the comfort and longevity of your Restore TCs:
- Spot Cleaning: For dirt or stains, gently wipe the affected area with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Air Dry: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the EVA materials and adhesive.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge the shoes in water, as this can affect their structure and materials.
- Storage: Store your Restore TCs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
