Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Challenger 8 shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear your shoes indoors or on short walks for a few days to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after every hike. Hand wash with lukewarm water and mild soap if necessary; never use a washing machine or dryer.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as excessive heat can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and foam structure.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup inside the lining.
