Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The HOKA Arahi 8 requires no specific setup. Simply ensure they fit comfortably and are properly laced before your first run. It's recommended to wear them for a short walk or run initially to get accustomed to the feel.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for road running and are compatible with most running surfaces like asphalt, concrete, and well-maintained trails. They are not designed for technical off-road terrain or trail running.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the shoe's materials and structure.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause materials to degrade.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or an open box to allow air circulation. Avoid storing them in damp environments or tightly packed spaces.
- Rotation: For optimal lifespan and performance, consider rotating your Arahi 8s with another pair of shoes if you run frequently.
