Full details

FAQs

Are the HOKA Ora Primo EXT suitable for wearing all day?

While designed for maximum comfort, they are primarily recommended for recovery periods, lounging, or light wear. For all-day wear, especially if extensive walking or standing is involved, consider shoes with more structured support.

Can I wear these with socks?

Yes, you can wear them with or without socks. Wearing them with thin socks can provide additional warmth and comfort, especially in cooler weather.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to HOKA's sizing chart for accurate measurements. The Ora Primo EXT should feel snug but not constricting, with enough room in the toe box. The adjustable closure allows for minor fit adjustments.

Is the suede material waterproof?

No, the suede material is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing these in wet conditions to prevent damage to the suede.

What is the main difference between the Ora Primo and Ora Primo EXT?

The 'EXT' designation typically refers to enhanced features or a slightly different construction. In this case, the EXT model features a full suede upper and a G-hook closure system, offering a more refined aesthetic and adjustable fit compared to potentially simpler iterations.

How should I clean the midsole and outsole?

Use a damp cloth to wipe down the midsole and outsole. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by a rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure they are fully dry before storing.

Troubleshooting

Fit feels too loose or too tight.

Adjust the G-hook closure. Loosen it by sliding the hook away from the webbing, or tighten it by pulling the webbing through the hook.

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, consult a suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Slight odor after wear.

Allow the shoes to air out completely between wears. You can also place them in a well-ventilated area or use a shoe deodorizer.

Squeaking noise during walking.

This can sometimes occur with new footwear. Ensure the footbed is properly seated and that there is no debris caught in the outsole. A light dusting of talcum powder inside might help if the noise originates from within the shoe.

Care:

  1. Suede Upper: Clean with a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt and dust. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
  2. Midsole and Outsole: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
