Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Challenger 8 GORE-TEX, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for shorter walks before long-distance runs to allow the foam to conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Remove excess mud or debris using a soft brush. If cleaning is necessary, use lukewarm water and a mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or fireplaces, which can warp the cushioning foam and damage the waterproof adhesive.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
