Setup, Compatibility & Care
The HOKA Bondi 9 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box with no specific setup required. They are designed for road running and general wear. To care for your Bondi 9s:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the upper and midsole with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution, and a soft brush on the outsole. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and structure.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can warp the foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape when not in use.
- Usage: These shoes are optimized for road surfaces. Using them on rough trails or abrasive surfaces may reduce their lifespan and performance.
