FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the leather upper provides some protection against light moisture, they are not classified as waterproof.
Can I use these for trail running?
No, these are lifestyle shoes. While they feature trail-inspired cushioning, the upper is not designed for the rigors of technical trail running.
How do I clean the Speed Loafer?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth and let them air dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Is the sizing consistent with other HOKA models?
The HOKA Speed Loafer is generally true to size for a standard athletic fit, though it is recommended to try them on for the most accurate feel.
What material is the upper made of?
The primary material is premium leather, providing a structured and elevated look compared to standard synthetic mesh.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose when walking
Ensure you are using the correct size; consider using a thin aftermarket insole if minor adjustments are needed for volume.
Leather surface shows scuff marks
Use a high-quality leather cream or polish designed for black leather to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are slip-on shoes, ensure you select the correct size to prevent heel slippage. For care, keep the leather clean by wiping away dust and debris with a dry cloth after each use. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. To maintain the appearance of the material, apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the upper supple.
