HOKA SHOE CARE AND WATERPROOFING
If you waterproof your HOKA shoes beforehand, you'll enjoy them longer. Keep the following in mind:
Waterproofing sprays: Spray dry shoes with a good waterproofing spray. Let the spray dry completely – only then are your shoes weatherproof.

If you live in a rainy area, you should have two pairs of shoes so you can alternate between cleaning and waterproofing them.
