Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes completely waterproof?
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX membrane that provides a waterproof barrier, though water can still enter through the collar if submerged above the ankle.
Can I use these for intense gym workouts?
While they are supportive, they are optimized for walking, hiking, and daily commuting rather than lateral-movement gym training.
How often should I clean them?
Clean as needed whenever mud or heavy dirt accumulates to ensure the breathable membrane remains effective.
Does the anti-odour technology wash out?
It is designed to last for the normal lifespan of the shoe, provided you do not use harsh chemical cleaners or detergents.
Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?
HOKA shoes generally offer a supportive fit; however, if you have specific wide-fit needs, check if your specific region offers a 'Wide' size variant.
Troubleshooting
Water seems to be soaking into the shoe upper
The DWR finish may be wearing off. Apply a suitable DWR spray specifically formulated for waterproof-breathable footwear.
Shoes feel tight after a long day
Feet naturally swell during activity. Ensure you are wearing appropriate technical socks and consider adjusting the lacing tension throughout the day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are specialized technical shoes, follow these guidelines to maximize their lifespan:
- Breaking In: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for short walks initially to allow the footbed to adapt to your stride.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth and mild, soap-free cleaner for the upper. Avoid machine washing, which can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as high heat can warp the materials.
- Water Repellency: Periodically apply a PFC-free DWR spray if you notice water no longer beads on the surface of the shoe after extended use.
