Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOKA trainers last, proper care is essential. Since the upper material is specialized for breathability and low weight, avoid machine washing or aggressive scrubbing, which may compromise the see-through mesh. Instead, clean the shoes using a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and lukewarm water. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the midsole cushioning over time. Regarding compatibility, these shoes fit true to standard athletic sizing, though the unique upper material provides a slightly more 'sock-like' fit compared to rigid leather or synthetic hiking shoes. We recommend pairing them with performance moisture-wicking socks to complement the breathable nature of the mesh.
