Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The HOKA Kaha 3 GTX requires minimal setup. Upon receiving the shoes, it is recommended to try them on indoors to ensure a proper fit. For extended comfort on first use, consider wearing them for shorter walks to allow them to adapt to your foot shape.
Compatibility: These hiking shoes are designed for general hiking and trail use. They are compatible with standard hiking socks. No special equipment is required.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as these can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can degrade the adhesives and materials. Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Waterproofing: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable but can be affected by dirt and oils. Periodically clean the shoes to maintain the membrane's performance. For prolonged exposure to wet conditions, consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for GORE-TEX footwear.
