Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Hoka Bondi 9 requires no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed primarily for road running, walking, and general everyday wear. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. While they offer excellent cushioning, they are not optimized for technical trail running due to their high stack height and smooth outsole pattern.
Care: To maintain your Hoka Bondi 9 trainers:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the upper and midsole. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Remove insoles and laces, and allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in a shoe bag can help protect them from dust and damage.
- Laces: Clean laces separately by hand washing with mild soap and water.
