Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Cielo X1 3.0, proper care is essential. Since these are performance racing shoes, they are not intended for heavy-duty daily wear or rugged terrain.
- Cleaning: Clean the shoes manually by removing dirt with a soft brush and using a damp cloth with mild soap. Never machine wash or dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent foam degradation.
- Breaking-In: While ready for race day, it is recommended to complete a few shorter tempo runs to allow the foam and your feet to adjust to the specific geometry of the shoe.
- Compatibility: The asymmetrical lacing system works best when snug but not overtightened; adjust the laces while the shoe is on your foot to distribute tension evenly.
