Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before hitting the trail, ensure the quick-lace mechanism is properly tensioned to prevent heel slippage. The HOKA Hopara is designed to be worn without socks, but may be used with thin, synthetic moisture-wicking socks if desired. For care, rinse the sandals with fresh water after use in salt or mud to prevent material buildup. Allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, which can cause the EVA foam and synthetic materials to degrade prematurely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can compromise the integrity of the adhesive and the structural fit of the shoe.
