Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Bondi 9, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the shoe provides enough room for natural toe splay, as the knit upper provides a structured fit.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, perform a few shorter runs to allow the midsole foam to adapt to your foot strike pattern.
- Cleaning: Hand wash the uppers using a mild detergent and a soft brush. Do not machine wash or dry, as this can degrade the foam integrity and adhesive bonds.
- Rotation: Allow shoes to air dry for at least 24 hours between runs if you exercise daily to preserve the life of the cushioning components.
