Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Speedgoat 7 Hike shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short, low-intensity walks before heading out on multi-day treks to allow the padded collar and upper materials to conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Hand wash with cool water and a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and adhesive bonds.
- Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heaters, which can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place and ensure they are free of mud or grit after each hike to maintain the breathability of the waterproof lining.
