Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Mafate Hike shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While these shoes offer instant comfort, wear them on shorter walks before embarking on multi-day treks to ensure the fit is correct for your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after every hike. If the shoes become muddy, clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized midsole cushioning.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can warp the materials and affect the glue integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct moisture to maintain the integrity of the hydrophobic upper.
