How should I care for my HOKA's?
Follow these simple steps to keep your HOKA's looking good, well into the future.
Do : Clean your HOKA's ASAP if they get dirty or wet to prevent any long term damage.Don't : Wash your HOKA's in the washing machine or use bleach to clean them. This will age them rapidly; glue and other fastenings can be damaged in the wash.
How to clean your HOKA footwear
- Disassemble your shoes. Remove the insole and laces for a thorough clean.
- Wash the laces. Throw them in with your clothes laundry and wash on a cold setting with your regular detergent. Pro tip: Place in a laundry bag or sock so they don't get lost.
- Remove dirt from the upper and outsole. A small brush or towel works well.
- Scrub clean. Create a soapy mixture of water and laundry detergent, and gently work into dirty areas using a towel or soft bristle brush.

What can I do if my HOKAs are squeaking?
Squeaky shoes are often caused by moisture or friction within parts of the shoe.
The easiest way to stop squeaky shoes is to use baby/talcum powder:
- If possible, remove the inner sole of the shoe and loosen the laces.
- Sprinkle baby/talcum powder on the underside of the innersole as well as inside the shoe.
- Let the powder sit overnight to absorb any moisture. Shake out the excess powder the following day.
If this doesn't do the trick and you believe that your HOKAs may be faulty, please see here for instructions on initiating an assessment.
