Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Hoka Arahi 9 trainers, proper maintenance is essential.
- Break-in Period: While they offer immediate comfort, wear them for a few short walks or light jogs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using cold water and a mild detergent. Remove the insoles and wash them separately. Air dry in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Storage: Keep in a dry, cool place. Do not leave in a hot car, as extreme heat can degrade the cushioning foam over time.
- Replacement: Plan to replace your trainers every 400 to 500 miles, as the structural integrity of the midsole will eventually break down.
