FAQs

What type of workouts are the HOKA Kawana 3 best suited for?

The Kawana 3 is ideal for cardio-focused activities, gym workouts, HIIT, and moderate runs. Its design supports transitional movements between different exercises.

Are these trainers good for long-distance running?

While they offer good cushioning, they are designed as transitional trainers rather than dedicated long-distance running shoes. For very long runs, specialized running shoes might offer more tailored support and cushioning.

How do I clean the engineered mesh upper?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the mesh. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or putting them in a washing machine.

What is the main difference between the Kawana 3 and previous versions?

The Kawana 3 features a refined heel geometry for smoother transitions and an updated engineered mesh upper with enhanced durability in key zones.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

The engineered mesh upper offers some breathability, but the shoes are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or lightly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may affect comfort and drying time.

What size UK should I order if I'm a US size 9?

Generally, a US size 9 typically corresponds to a UK size 8. However, it's always recommended to check the specific HOKA size chart for the most accurate conversion, as sizing can vary slightly between models.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness on first wear

The shoes may feel stiff initially. Wear them for short periods or during light activity to break them in. The engineered mesh and foam will adapt to your foot over time.

Upper feels warm during intense activity

Ensure laces are not overly tightened. The vented mesh should provide adequate airflow, but extreme heat or humidity may affect perceived breathability. Allow for natural cooling between intense bursts.

Slight wear on toe area after extended use

The tighter weave in the toe area is designed for durability, but excessive dragging or scuffing can still cause wear. Focus on proper running or training form to minimize premature wear.
