Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your HOKA Bondi 9 trainers, follow these maintenance tips:
- Initial Fit: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during movement.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them around the house for a few days to ensure the lacing tension matches your foot's shape.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using cold water and mild soap. Never use a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can compromise the structural integrity of the premium foam.
- Air Drying: Always air dry in a cool, shaded area. Direct sunlight can fade the grey colorway and harden the rubber sole components.
