Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. The standard lacing system allows for personalized tightness. The extended heel pull tab assists in slipping them on easily.
Compatibility:
Designed primarily for road running and walking, the HOKA Bondi 9 performs best on paved surfaces like asphalt and concrete. The Durabrasion rubber outsole provides traction on dry and moderately wet conditions. They are not recommended for technical trails or highly uneven terrain where aggressive grip is needed.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the upper and outsole. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Laundering: Hand washing is recommended. If machine washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water and place shoes in a mesh bag. Always air dry afterward.
