Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Kaha 3, it is recommended to break them in on short walks before heading out on multi-day treks. These shoes are compatible with standard hiking socks; however, mid-weight merino wool socks work best with the GORE-TEX lining for moisture management. After muddy hikes, remove the insoles and wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can damage the midsole foam and degrade the waterproof membrane. Always air-dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from becoming brittle.
