To ensure optimal performance, ensure you have the correct sizing—HOKA trainers typically fit true to size, though the plush collar may require a few runs to break in perfectly to your foot shape. Keep your shoes clean by wiping them down with a damp cloth after muddy trail runs; avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine, as high heat and heavy agitation can damage the foam and adhesives. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to preserve the integrity of the cushioning.
