Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Bondi 9 trainers, proper maintenance is essential.
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow 1-2 short runs for the knit upper to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, which can cause the upper materials to fade or weaken.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, rotating these with another pair of shoes helps the midsole foam recover its shape between uses.
