FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?

Yes, the HOKA Elevon X are designed with HOKA's elite road DNA and a premium Pebax plate, offering responsive cushioning and support that makes them suitable for long-distance road running.

Can I wear these trainers on hiking trails?

They are designed with 'trail DNA' for versatility on light or well-maintained trails. However, for rugged or technical hiking, a more specialized hiking boot or trail shoe would be recommended due to the premium leather materials.

How do I determine my correct size?

The Elevon X trainers are listed in UK sizes. We recommend measuring your foot length and referring to HOKA's official sizing chart. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

What is the best way to clean the Nubuck leather?

For best results, use a specialized Nubuck or suede cleaning kit. Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a dedicated Nubuck cleaner, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using regular leather polish or harsh detergents.

Is there a break-in period for these shoes?

While HOKA shoes are often comfortable out of the box, the premium leather components of the Elevon X may benefit from a short break-in period. We suggest wearing them for shorter walks or runs initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The product description does not specify waterproofing. While the leather offers some natural resistance, they are not designed to be fully waterproof. We recommend applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for Nubuck leather for added protection.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound while walking or running

This can sometimes be caused by friction between insoles and the shoe's interior, or moisture. Try removing and reinserting the insoles. If it persists, a light dusting of talcum powder under the insole may help. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dry if moisture is suspected.

Leather appearance becoming dull or stained

For Nubuck leather, use a specialized Nubuck cleaning kit. Gently brush the nap to lift dirt and restore texture. For stains, apply a small amount of Nubuck cleaner and follow product instructions. Regular use of a protective spray can prevent future staining.

Uncomfortable fit or rubbing in certain areas

Ensure you have the correct size. Break-in period can vary with leather shoes; wear them for shorter periods initially. Adjust lacing tension, or consider specific socks designed to reduce friction. If persistent, an alternative lacing pattern might alleviate pressure points.

Odor development after extended use

Allow trainers to air out after each use, removing insoles if possible. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storing.

Setup: When first putting on your Elevon X trainers, ensure laces are evenly tightened across the foot for a secure, comfortable fit without excessive pressure points. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience any hotspots or prefer a looser/tighter feel in certain areas. Compatibility: These trainers feature a unisex design and are generally compatible with a wide range of foot types. For optimal comfort, ensure there is about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. They are designed for adult users seeking performance and style in their footwear. Care: Due to the *luxe Nubuck leather* and *full-grain leather mudguard*, specific care is recommended to maintain their appearance and longevity. 1. Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., a suede/nubuck brush). For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner specifically formulated for Nubuck. Avoid harsh chemicals or submerging the shoes in water. 2. Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight. 3. Protection: Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray suitable for Nubuck leather before first use and periodically thereafter. 4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
