Use a soft dry brush to gently sweep off surface dust after every run to prevent material clogging.
To ensure the best fit, verify your UK size against the standard HOKA sizing chart, noting that this specific variant includes wide-fit options. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive. Instead, clean the shoes by brushing off dried mud with a soft bristle brush. If deeper cleaning is required, use a damp cloth with mild soap and allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Regularly check the outsole lugs for trapped rocks or mud to maintain optimal grip performance.
