Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your HOKA Bondi 7, start by ensuring the laces are tightened uniformly from the bottom eyelets to the top to secure the midfoot. The memory-foam collar will adapt to your ankle shape after a few wears, so do not over-tighten the top laces initially. For cleaning, avoid using a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the EVA foam and structural overlays. Instead, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air-dry your shoes in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the midsole cushioning to warp or prematurely break down.
