Setup, Compatibility & Care
*Setup*
The HOKA Rocket X 2 is designed to fit like a racing shoe, so ensure you select the correct size for your feet. If you are unsure, try the shoes on during a run before the race. Make sure that the shoes are properly laced and provide the necessary support.
*Compatibility*
These shoes are designed for road running. Their features are optimized for asphalt surfaces. The Rocket X 2 is a neutral shoe, meaning it does not have pronation support. They are compatible with most running socks. They are suitable for unisex use.
*Care*
To clean the shoes, use a damp cloth to wipe away any dirt or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or detergents, as these can damage the materials. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Do not put the shoes in the washing machine.
