What is the warranty period for the HOKA Stinson 7?
Please refer to the official HOKA website or the retailer's policy for specific warranty information, as this can vary by region and purchase date.
Does the Stinson 7 offer good grip in wet conditions?
The Stinson 7 features multi-directional lugs for versatile traction. While designed to perform well on various surfaces, extremely slick or wet conditions may require extra caution.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust lacing to find a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size, considering foot width and volume. Different socks can also affect the fit.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces.
While designed for versatile grip, very slick surfaces may challenge the lugs. Ensure lugs are free of mud or debris. Consider alternative footwear for extremely wet and slippery conditions if maximum grip is paramount.
Cushioning feels stiff initially.
New shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks or runs to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot mechanics.
Foot fatigue on long runs.
While cushioned, ensure the shoe's geometry and support level are appropriate for your gait. Check lacing and consider if a different HOKA model might better suit your specific biomechanics.
