Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Challenger 8 shoes, follow these care guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear your shoes for short walks initially to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove loose dirt with a soft-bristled brush. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water if necessary; never use a washing machine or dryer, as heat can damage the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight, which can compromise the structural integrity of the cushioning materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew buildup inside the waterproof lining.
