Customer Reviews Hoka Kaha GTX

I live in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula on the shores of Lake Superior. I’ve been wearing the Hoka Kaha GTX for 9 months. I’ve worn them for 100’s of miles over different conditions and through different seasons - from hiking groomed trails, wet and/or rocky trails, to now - snow. I thought the Kaha’s sizing was accurate. I haven’t had any blisters and they didn’t need a break-in period. The only thing I noticed was that they seemed somewhat “bouncy” at first. That’s good sometimes, but it can be a liability depending on the trail. I’m 61 years young and I wear support stockings (I actually don’t even own any socks anymore). I haven’t had wet or cold feet even once while wearing them, despite walking through fresh snow and the occasional water. I think that the blue color is beautiful, but it would be nice to have a choice available. I have had several surgeries on one of my ankles and my feet are finicky. I used to try wearing different boots on each day of the week for my walk so that my foot could recover, but I don’t need to do that with the Kahas. I’ve worn Hoka’s almost since they were first introduced - since my podiatrist told me about them after he saw them at a conference for the first time and was intrigued. I couldn’t begin to tell you how many different models I’ve had because they’ve been great for my feet, but the Kaha’s are my favorite so far.

I have low-volume feet with small bunions and failing arches. Hokas are my lifesavers and these hiking boots are no exception. Incredible structure and support but relatively light weight and comfortable right out of the box. The "grippers" for the upper laces are great detail and keep these boots secure. My Asolos ALWAYS came untied.

I am returning to exchange for another of the same boot. There is something wrong with the left boot that digs into the inside of my arch when I walk.

Shoes are very comfortable. I have problem feet and needed new hiking boots that did not hurt, which is why I ordered Hoka One One specifically. My one complaint is that the shoes don't feel as sturdy as they should for hiking with a pack. I hope they last. All my previous hiking shoes (before foot problems) lasted years and years and felt sturdier. The sole on these feels substantial, and the fit of the shoe is somewhat supportive for holding my foot in place hiking with weight and on uneven surfaces, but a little flimsier than I expected for a "hiking boot" and for the price. Hoping for the best. Going on back packing trip in the next month so we'll see....

These shoes are amazing. I love the color I love the fit and feel they look great and are very comfortable. I am a big fan of hoka products. I have several of their tennis shoes and I am extremely happy with these hikers.

This boot seems to run narrower and longer than most other boots, so it was hard to find a good fit for my foot. After trying on several sizes of both this boot and the men's equivalent, I settled on the women's size 10, although I usually wear a women's 9.5. But the women's 9.5 was so narrow, I could barely get my foot in, although the length was perfect. So I got the 10, and the width is fine (actually spacious, but I can tie it tight enough, but it's way long. But despite the imperfect fit for the shape of my personal feet, the comfort and support of this boot beats everything else I tried hands down. It's sublimely cushioned and lovely to walk in!

Most shoes I try on hurt my feet as they hit my bunions and exacerbate Hallux Rigidus but I was determined to find a super comfortable pair of hikers with great support and did not stop searching, as this summer included trips to Switzerland and Iceland. These shoes were perfectly perfect. I have never had such a comfortable pair: excellent traction and support, completely waterproof—- cannot recommend enough. BEST HIKING BOOTS EVER.

I LOVE the Hoka Kaha GTX. I wear them on suburban walks with my dog over pavement, snow, and ice. I’ve worn them with thick socks in single digit F temperatures and not felt the cold at all, and I’m extremely sensitive to cold. I paired them with a pair of gaiters for deep snow and I stayed warm and dry. They do run a bit big, but that was actually true to size for me once I put in my orthotics, I can wear them with thin or thick socks. The lacing works very well for me. They have very good traction. If you can find them in your size, go ahead, try them. You have nothing to lose with Zappos return policy.
