FAQs
What is the main benefit of the HOKA Ora Primo EXT?
The main benefit is the exceptional, plush cushioning provided by its maximalist midsole, combined with a comfortable, stylish suede upper and a secure adjustable closure.
Are these suitable for outdoor use?
They are suitable for light outdoor use on dry surfaces, such as quick errands or walking short distances. The suede upper is not designed for wet conditions.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a suede brush for routine cleaning and to maintain the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used carefully, followed by air drying. Always avoid soaking the suede.
Can I adjust the fit of the slippers?
Yes, the G-hook closure allows you to adjust the fit of the reflective webbing for a more secure or relaxed feel.
Are these slippers good for recovery after exercise?
Yes, their legendary cushioning makes them excellent for providing comfort and easing tired feet after physical activity.
What makes the Ora Primo EXT different from the original Ora Primo?
The Ora Primo EXT features a mule construction and a full suede upper, offering a more style-forward design and an elevated look compared to the original model.
What size should I order if I'm between sizes?
Given the adjustable nature of the fit, it's generally recommended to try your usual size. If you prefer a looser feel, consider sizing up. Please refer to HOKA's specific sizing chart for detailed guidance.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted
Use a suede brush to gently lift and restore the nap of the material. Brush in multiple directions if necessary.
Slippers feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the G-hook closure. Loosen the reflective webbing for more space or tighten it for a more secure fit.
Minor scuff marks on suede
Gently rub the mark with a suede eraser or a clean pencil eraser. Be gentle to avoid damaging the suede.
Water spots on suede
Allow the slippers to air dry completely away from heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. For persistent spots, consult a professional cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These are designed as unisex adult slippers or sandals suitable for indoor and light outdoor use. They are compatible with casual wear.
Care: To maintain the suede upper:
- Brushing: Use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. Brush in one direction.
- Stains: For minor stains, use a specialized suede eraser or a pencil eraser. For tougher stains, a damp cloth (not wet) can be used carefully, followed by allowing the shoe to air dry completely.
- Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, though this may alter the texture slightly.
- Avoid Water: Suede is not water-resistant. Avoid wearing these in wet conditions.
