Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The HOKA Mach 7 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably by adjusting the laces. The internal gusset should help secure your foot without needing to overtighten.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running. They are compatible with most standard running socks. For electronic tracking devices like GPS watches, there are no specific compatibility requirements beyond standard wearable technology.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Mach 7 trainers:
- Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can warp the foam and synthetic materials.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods.
- Rotation: If possible, rotate your Mach 7s with another pair of running shoes. This allows the foam to decompress fully between runs and can extend the life of both pairs.
