FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the HOKA Elevon X incorporates performance technology like the Pebax® plate, these Spencer Badu collaboration shoes are primarily designed as lifestyle footwear. They offer excellent comfort for daily wear but are not intended for high-performance running or training.
How do I maintain the Nubuck leather?
For best results, use a specialized Nubuck brush to gently remove dust and light dirt. For deeper cleaning or stubborn spots, a dedicated Nubuck cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the benefit of the Pebax® plate?
The premium Pebax® plate integrated into the sole provides a propulsive feel, offering excellent energy return and a responsive, comfortable ride. This enhances the overall underfoot experience for daily wear.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes feature a synthetic and textile upper with Nubuck leather. They are not explicitly waterproof, so it's best to avoid heavy rain or standing water to protect the materials, particularly the leather components.
What does 'road and trail DNA' mean in this context?
This refers to the design philosophy that blends aesthetic elements and structural considerations from both road running shoes (like cushioning and responsiveness) and trail footwear (like durability and rugged styling) to create a unique, modern look for lifestyle use.
How do these shoes fit?
HOKA shoes generally fit true to size. We recommend ordering your standard UK shoe size. If you are unsure, you may wish to try them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering the specific design and materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially
The Pebax® plate and new materials may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot.
Nubuck leather shows scuffs or dirt marks
Use a specialized Nubuck brush or eraser to gently lift scuffs and dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated Nubuck cleaner following the product's instructions carefully.
Laces constantly come undone
Ensure you are tying a double knot for added security. Experiment with different lacing patterns to find one that provides a snug yet comfortable fit without excessive pressure points.

Setting up your HOKA Elevon X Spencer Badu shoes simply involves lacing them up to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. They are designed for adult wearers (age_group: adult) and are compatible with a wide range of casual and fashion-forward outfits. To ensure the longevity of your shoes, especially the premium Nubuck leather, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning Nubuck Leather: Use a soft brush specifically designed for Nubuck to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized Nubuck cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
- General Cleaning: For the synthetic and textile upper components, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Clean the scratch-rubber mudguard with a damp cloth to remove dirt.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation.
