Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Bondi 9 trainers, proper maintenance is essential.
- Break-in: As with most performance footwear, take a few short walks or light runs to allow the foam to adapt to your gait.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft brush, mild detergent, and cold water. Never machine wash or put these shoes in a tumble dryer, as excessive heat can damage the foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
- Rotation: If you run daily, consider rotating with another pair to allow the foam midsole to fully decompress and recover between sessions.
