Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Hoka Mach 7 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While ready out of the box, wear them for shorter 20-30 minute walks to allow the foam to adapt to your gait.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using cold water and mild detergent. Remove the insole and laces to wash them separately. Never machine wash or machine dry.
- Air Drying: Always air dry the shoes in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Direct sunlight and high heat (like radiators) can damage the midsole foam and adhesives.
- Surface Compatibility: These are optimized for paved roads, cycle paths, and track surfaces. Avoid excessive use on sharp rocky trails to preserve the outsole.
