Getting started with your HOKA Bondi 9 sneakers is as simple as lacing them up. They are designed for adult female users and are optimized for road running and walking. To ensure longevity and performance, regular care is recommended. After use, allow the shoes to air out to prevent odor buildup. For cleaning, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. The Ortholite® Hybrid Sockliner is removable for easy cleaning or replacement.
