Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Skyward Laceless Recovery Shoes are designed for active adults who prioritize comfort and muscle recuperation after intense training sessions. These shoes provide a significant benefit by reducing foot fatigue through a highly cushioned midsole and an supportive anatomical footbed, though they are specifically intended for recovery rather than high-performance speed work or rugged trail running.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
No, these are recovery shoes designed for light walking and relaxation, not for the impact of long-distance running.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the interior is designed to be soft and comfortable against the skin for a 'sock-like' experience.
How do I determine my size?
The Skyward Laceless generally fits true to size; consult the HOKA size guide for your standard UK measurement.
Can I use these for orthotic inserts?
The Active Foot Frame is integrated into the design, so aftermarket orthotics are generally not recommended as they may interfere with the intended fit.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the breathable, sock-like upper is not waterproof and will absorb water if exposed to rain or puddles.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Ensure your foot is pushed fully into the Active Foot Frame; if the issue persists, consider a slightly thicker sock to fill the internal volume.
Midsole foam feels compressed
Foam compression is normal after heavy use; rotate your footwear to allow the foam to decompress overnight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are ready to wear immediately out of the box with no break-in period required due to the soft, stretchy upper. To ensure longevity, keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can degrade the specialized midsole foam. If the shoes become dirty, gently spot-clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, as the agitation can compromise the adhesive bonds and the integrity of the sock-like fabric.
