The HOKA ONE ONE Ora Recovery Slide 3 excels in providing immediate and lasting comfort when your feet need it most. Its primary purpose is recovery, making it ideal for:
Post-Workout Relief: Slip them on immediately after a run, gym session, or any strenuous activity to help your feet and lower legs begin the recovery process.
Casual Wear at Home: Enjoy plush comfort while relaxing around the house, performing daily chores, or standing for extended periods.
Light Errands: The durable EVA outsole makes them suitable for short trips outside, such as walking to the mailbox or a quick stop at the store.
Travel: A great option for changing into after a long flight or day of sightseeing, providing a welcome break for your feet.
Thanks to its dual-density structure and Early Stage Meta-Rocker, the slide cradles your foot, absorbing impact and promoting a gentle roll-through, which can reduce fatigue. The four air flow channels are particularly beneficial in warmer climates or when your feet are prone to sweating, ensuring a cooler, more comfortable experience.
Getting started with your HOKA ONE ONE Ora Recovery Slide 3 is as simple as it gets:
Unbox: Remove the slides from their packaging.
Slip On: Simply slide your feet into the sandals.
There is no complex setup required. Enjoy the immediate comfort.
Gender: Designed for a unisex fit, accommodating a wide range of foot shapes. (This specific variant is listed as 'Male' but the product line is generally unisex).
Sizing: Available in various UK adult sizes. Refer to HOKA's official sizing guide to ensure the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next size up for a roomier recovery fit.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the comfort of your slides:
Cleaning: To clean your Ora Recovery Slides, use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and cool water. Gently wipe down the footbed and outer sole. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow your slides to air dry completely in a shaded area. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or high heat (e.g., car interiors, radiators), as this can cause the EVA material to shrink or warp.
Storage: Store your slides in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not put your slides in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials and structure.
