Hoka warranty for running & athletic shoes

13/100 Warranty ScoreRanked 6 of 12 brands
The short version

Hoka doesn't cover everything, but keeps whole product covered to 1 year. That full coverage is the same as most of the 12 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.

From Hoka's published warranty, checked October 2026.

The fine print, decoded

What it leaves out

  • Normal wear and tear
Good to know before you buy
  • Keep your receipt: you need the original invoice number to file.
  • If you bought from a store, take it back to that store instead of HOKA.
  • HOKA does not repair shoes; it offers an exchange or a refund.
