The HOKA Elevon 2 TS is engineered for a broad range of activities, making it a highly adaptable shoe for diverse lifestyles.
Running: Whether tackling daily training runs or longer distances, the max cushioned midsole provides excellent shock absorption, reducing fatigue and protecting joints. The 'Elite Road Running DNA' ensures a smooth transition and responsive feel.
Walking & Daily Wear: For extended periods on your feet, the dual-layer foam midsole offers sustained comfort. Its 'street-ready style' integrates seamlessly into casual outfits, providing all-day support and cushioning for errands, commutes, or leisurely strolls.
Gym Workouts: While not a dedicated cross-trainer, the internal cage offers a stable base for many gym activities, including light lifting or cardio sessions, where cushioning is beneficial. The breathable mesh helps manage heat during indoor exercise.
Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded through all eyelets. Start with a firm but not overly tight lacing at the midfoot to engage the internal cage support. Adjust tightness as needed towards the ankle for a comfortable, secure fit without restricting circulation.
Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet. While HOKA shoes are often comfortable out of the box, a slight break-in can optimize the fit.
Foot Type: The Elevon 2 TS is designed as a neutral trainer, suitable for a wide range of foot types. Its max cushioning benefits those seeking high impact absorption.
Activities: Ideal for road running, walking, and general everyday use. It can be used for gym activities where cushioning is prioritized.
Cleaning the Upper: Gently brush off any loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a mild soap (like dish soap) mixed with cool water and a soft cloth or sponge to gently dab the affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes. Remove insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers) as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prolong their lifespan.
