Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOKA Clifton One9 shoes last, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for short walks initially to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike.
- Cleaning: Clean the mesh upper using a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or putting them in a washing machine, as this can damage the structural adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry only in a cool, shaded area. Direct sunlight or extreme heat sources like radiators can warp the midsole foam.
- Compatibility: These are standard low-profile trainers. They are best paired with moisture-wicking socks to enhance the benefit of the open-hole mesh upper.
