Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Speedgoat 7 hiking shoes, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear your shoes on short, flat walks to allow the structure to adapt to your foot shape before attempting technical climbs.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove loose debris with a soft-bristled brush. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water if necessary; avoid submerging in excessive water if possible.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the anti-odour sock liner and the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Fit: Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks to optimize the fit of the membrane and prevent internal friction.
