Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOKA Bondi 9 lasts, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: If you are new to maximalist footwear, wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow your foot muscles to adapt.
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior using a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris. Wipe the knit upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging in water.
- Drying: Air dry only in a cool, ventilated area. Never place the shoes in a clothes dryer or near direct heat sources, as extreme heat can deform the foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature aging of the outsole materials.
