FAQs
Can I use these for my daily running workouts?
No, these are designed specifically for post-activity recovery. They do not offer the stability or energy return required for high-intensity running.
Are the insoles removable?
The Skyward series typically features a standard HOKA footbed design, but for the best recovery experience, it is recommended to use the provided cushioning system.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the sock-like upper material is breathable and flexible, not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in wet or muddy conditions.
How do I choose the right size?
The shoes generally follow standard athletic sizing. Since they feature a slip-on design, ensure you select your usual trainer size for the best balance of comfort and security.
Can these be worn without socks?
Yes, the soft, sock-like upper is designed to be comfortable against the bare skin, making them great for post-run use.
Troubleshooting
The fit feels too loose in the heel area.
Ensure the sock-like upper is pulled fully over the heel. If you have a very narrow foot, consider wearing thicker athletic socks to improve the snugness of the fit.
The sole is showing signs of premature wear.
The Skyward is engineered for recovery and casual walking. Using these shoes for high-friction activities like trail running or court sports will cause rapid degradation of the soft cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because of the slip-on, laceless construction, there is no "setup" required—simply slide your feet in and adjust the sock-like upper for comfort. These shoes are compatible with most standard adult foot profiles but are best used immediately following high-impact activities. To maintain the integrity of the material, avoid machine washing with heavy-duty cycles. Instead, spot clean the upper with a soft cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a shaded area, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the midsole cushioning properties over time.
