FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the HOKA Elevon X incorporates HOKA's performance DNA and a Pebax plate for energy return, its luxurious materials and specific design make it best suited for light running, brisk walks, and daily wear where comfort and style are equally important.

How do I clean the Nubuck leather?

Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated nubuck cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid water saturation or harsh chemicals.

What is the 'Pebax plate'?

The premium Pebax plate is a lightweight, high-performance material integrated into the sole. It provides responsive cushioning and efficient energy return, contributing to a more energetic and comfortable stride.

Are these trainers true to size?

Yes, HOKA trainers generally run true to size. For this UK 5 model, we recommend purchasing your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The full-grain leather mudguard offers some protection against splashes. However, due to the Nubuck leather, it's advisable to avoid heavy rain or standing water. For best protection, apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for nubuck and leather.

What is the primary material of these trainers?

The primary upper material is luxurious Nubuck leather, complemented by full-grain leather for the mudguard and a translucent TPU heel counter.

Troubleshooting

Nubuck leather appears dull or dirty.

Gently brush the affected area with a specialized nubuck brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a dedicated nubuck cleaner as directed.

Trainers feel less supportive over time.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. While the Pebax plate offers durability, natural wear occurs. Consider rotating with other footwear to extend the lifespan of the cushioning.

Foot feels too warm inside the shoe.

The microperf detailing in the Nubuck aids breathability. Ensure you are wearing breathable socks (e.g., moisture-wicking materials) and consider the ambient temperature when choosing your footwear.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting. A sprinkle of baby powder beneath the insole can also help.

Care Instructions

The premium materials of your Elevon X Trainers require attentive care to maintain their appearance and integrity:

  1. Cleaning Nubuck Leather: Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For stains, use a dedicated nubuck cleaner, applying sparingly and following the product's instructions. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Cleaning Other Surfaces: For the translucent TPU heel counter and sole, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the materials.
  3. Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the leather to crack or stiffen.
  4. Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for nubuck and leather to provide an extra layer of protection against the elements.
  5. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  6. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can severely damage the materials and construction.
