Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Arahi 9 trainers, follow these maintenance practices:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for shorter walks or easy runs for the first few outings to allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a mild detergent and cool water. Remove the sockliner to dry separately and never machine wash or dry, as this can degrade the EVA foam.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the adhesive and foam materials from drying out or cracking.
- Rotation: If running high mileage, alternate between two pairs of shoes to allow the compression-moulded EVA enough time to decompress between runs.
