Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Challenger 8, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for shorter walks before embarking on a long-distance hike to allow the foam to adapt to your foot.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after every hike. If muddy, use a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the interior.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesive bonds.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the foam and upper materials.
