Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Hoka Mach 7 trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during exercise.
- Break-in: While ready to use out of the box, take them for a few short 2-3 mile runs to allow the foam to settle to your gait.
- Cleaning: Clean your trainers by hand using a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid putting them in the washing machine or dryer, as high heat can damage the foam and adhesive.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature aging of the synthetic materials.
- Rotation: If you run daily, consider rotating with another pair to allow the cushioning foam to recover fully between sessions.
