Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The HOKA Bondi 7 requires no specific setup. Simply lace them up and wear them. Ensure the fit is snug but comfortable, with enough room in the toe box.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and general active wear. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. They are not specifically designed for trail running due to their smooth outsole pattern.
Care: To clean your Bondi 7 trainers:
- Remove Laces and Insoles: If possible, take out the laces and insoles for separate cleaning.
- Brush Off Loose Dirt: Use a soft brush or dry cloth to remove any loose dirt and debris from the upper and sole.
- Clean the Upper: For mesh uppers, use a mild soap or detergent mixed with cool water. Gently scrub the affected areas with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Clean the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe down the EVA midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth.
- Clean Laces and Insoles: Hand wash laces and insoles with mild soap and water, then air dry.
- Air Dry: Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
