FAQs
Can I wear the HOKA Hopara without socks?
Yes, the neoprene collar and synthetic upper are designed to be comfortable against bare skin, making them ideal for water-based activities.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are designed specifically for water drainage and breathability. They will get wet but are built to dry quickly.
How do I clean my Hopara sandals?
Use warm water and a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or the washing machine.
Are these suitable for long-distance backpacking?
They are suitable for day hikes and terrain-varied adventures. For heavy-load multi-day backpacking, a more structured boot may offer more support.
Does the quick-lace system break easily?
The quick-lace system is durable, but like any gear, inspect it for wear before long trips. If it loses tension, ensure the toggle is clean and properly seated.
Troubleshooting
Debris getting stuck inside the shoe
If trail grit enters through the drainage cutouts, stop and loosen the quick-lace system to rinse out the interior with water.
Quick-lace toggle feels too loose
Ensure no mud or debris is caught in the spring mechanism of the toggle. Rinse the lace assembly with water and work the mechanism to clear any blockages.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Hopara features a quick-lace system that requires no initial knotting setup. To tighten, simply pull the toggle until the shoe feels secure across the instep and lock it in place. The neoprene collar is designed to be form-fitting; ensure it sits flat against your ankle to avoid chafing. To care for your shoes, rinse them with fresh water after use in salt or muddy water to prevent residue buildup. Allow them to air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area—avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators or campfires, as this can damage the EVA foam and synthetic materials.
