Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your HOKA Challenger 8, ensure you have the correct width (D for standard, EE for wide) to accommodate your foot shape. During initial use, wear the shoes for shorter sessions to allow the foam to break in. For care, keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the midsole foam. Clean after muddy runs by letting the mud dry and brushing it off with a soft-bristled brush; for stubborn stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Always air-dry naturally at room temperature with the insoles removed to improve ventilation.
