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.
- Wipe down. Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe of excess soap and cleanser.
- Allow shoes to dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.

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 a faulty assessment.
If you're located outside of Australia, please contact your local HOKA distributor for further assistance:

I think I purchased from a scam website?
We're sorry to hear that you may have purchased from a scam website. Unfortunately, there are online scams that may use the HOKA name and a similar looking website as a means of obtaining your personal and/or banking details. It's highly likely that you will never receive any product from this website. We recommend the following steps.
Next steps:
- Reach out to your bank immediately to discuss how you can lodge a 'chargeback' and reclaim any funds that you've spent.
- If you would like to report a scam website, please visit: www.scamwatch.gov.au.
Tips on detecting a scam website:
- Pay attention to the address bar. Check that the URL starts with https (not http) and look for the padlock icon in the address bar to ensure there's a secure connection.
- Assess the price of the item. Does the price or offer seem too good to be true?
- Watch for poor grammar and spelling. Legitimate companies put effort into presenting a professional website.
- Do they accept secure payment methods such as PayPal or Afterpay? Fraudulent websites will primarily aim to collect your credit card details.
- Look for reliable contact information. Are there several ways of contacting the company, including via phone, live chat and email?
If you have any queries or concerns, please get in touch with our team through our Contact Us page.
