It's best to measure your child's foot length and compare it to the Hoka size chart. Consider trying them on with typical socks your child wears to ensure a comfortable and secure fit, allowing a little room for growth if preferred.

First, ensure you have the correct size for your child. Try adjusting the lacing pattern – sometimes loosening or tightening specific sections can improve comfort. Make sure your child is wearing appropriate socks for their activity. If discomfort persists, consult a sizing guide or a shoe professional.

While built with durable materials, excessive wear can occur. Check if the shoes are primarily used on highly abrasive surfaces or for activities beyond their intended use (road running/walking). Ensure regular cleaning to prevent material degradation from dirt or grit. If wear is abnormal, contact Hoka customer support.

Remove the molded, removable sockliners after use and allow them to air out. You can also lightly wash the sockliners separately. Ensure the shoes themselves are fully dried after each use or cleaning, as moisture contributes to odor. Consider using anti-odor sprays if needed.

Ensure the reflective surfaces are clean and free of dirt or mud, which can obscure their visibility. A gentle wipe with a damp cloth should restore their performance. If they appear damaged, it may be due to abrasion over time.
