Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Challenger 8 hiking shoes, follow these care guidelines:
- Break-in period: Wear them on shorter walks before heading out on long-distance hikes to allow the foam to settle and ensure proper fit.
- Cleaning: After use in mud or dirt, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh soaps or chemicals that may degrade the waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Air dry only at room temperature. Never place your shoes near a radiator, fireplace, or direct heat source, as excessive heat can damage the midsole foam and the GORE-TEX adhesive.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
