Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOKA Mach 7 trainers last, follow these guidelines for care and maintenance:
- Break-in Period: While ready for immediate use, allow for a few short walks or light jogs to let the foam and upper materials contour to your specific foot shape.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid putting them in the washing machine or tumble dryer, as heat can degrade the cushioning and adhesive bonds.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause the midsole foam to compress or deform prematurely.
- Air Drying: After wet runs, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with paper towels to absorb moisture from the inside. Let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
