Not holding up, seams are coming apart already, waterproofing not that good either. I'm a Hoka fan, I own 5 pair, but these should be better for the price

The boots are way too hot when wearing them inside. Maybe outside they will be nice.

First these are way too narrow cut. The rest of the shoe with a high top, I can't call it a boot. Has a comfortable feel at the cost of actually providing protection for your feet. I was walking on a well worn trail and every few hundred ft a rock would jab my arch an creat searing pain! The rocks poke right through the soft core. This would be awesome if they had a full 1/8th inch vibram sole.

I called Hoka asking for a winter shoe that's comparable in comfort to the stinson I have worn throughout the summer. Well, there's no comparison. These kaha shoes at best 30% as comfortable. I'm disappointed in the knowledge of your own footwear.

Im on my feet outside 8-10hrs a day. These boots are very comfortable & supportive. My only problem is the soles are coming off in the same place on both boots. These were recommended by seversl coworkers so to say the least im disappointed.

I ordered these because my previous HOKA boots were the absolute best! The KAHA GTX has NOT lived up to the hype. They are not as comfortable as the previous boot.. I didn't want to start all over with selecting an alternative boots with hope in mind ( BRAND). For almost 200.00 I'm not impressed . The comfort is not what I had before with a much softer ride feel!

Light and true to size but lacks decent cushioning and hurts to wear all-day due seams rubbing against the side of the foot. Watrler resistance did hold up.

The eyelet on the inside of my right foot dug into my ankle making them very uncomfortable. Guess I will just stick with the speed goat. If only they came in different colors.

I loved everything about these hiking boots except for the ankle support. It was weirdly tight around the ankle. I tried to loosen the ankle but no matter what I did the ankle support on the boot dug into my ankle. I had to return these boots. I wear an 8W

The tread on the bottom is starting to delaminate after less than a year of use.

I have two other Hoka running shoes so I was expecting the same kind of comfort. However, after wearing these boots for a weekend trip my left foot became notably sore. I have a bunion on the left foot that became agitated as well. Maybe the break in period is longer, but not impressed for now.

I am a diabetic and the shoes I buy are important to me. So I love buying Hoka brand. So when I found these Kahas I knew I had to have a pair. They fit amazingly well. The inside has zero rub points. The lacing system could use some more work. Not a fan of that part. The cushioning is what really hooked me on these shoes. The cushioning had me wanting to buy a second pair. But I wanted to wait and see how they held up. I work on my feet for 8 to 12 hours per day, 6 days per week. These shoes were doing amazing till a month later. After 30 days the cushioning completely broke down. It was almost like wearing shoes with no insoles. That was very disappointing to me. I love Hoka and I loved these shoes. I know I am tough on shoes but normal wear, I get at least 6 good months maybe more. Not these! The shoes look great, other than being dirty. Nothing else on the shoes has broken down or given me issues except for the cushioning. And after 30 days? Some will say I should buy new insoles. Not after 30 days. I may try another pair. But I am questioning that. I had high hopes. My other Hoka shoes gave me great wear for over 6 months with no issues. But these really shocked me. Some may get better results out of theirs. I mean that cushioning was really amazing and helped with leg and foot fatigue. I just wished these would have held up like the othe Hokas I have had. But I am just very disappointed that after 30 days they feel like they have no insoles.

Unfortunately, I have mixed feelings about this hiking boot. The heel tab/collar of the shoe is not cushioned and is flat. It's not plushed/rounded like most shoes are so if you're not working proper long socks, it's gonna rub your achilles tendon area raw. I went on a 10-11 mile hike and could not find my long socks, so I wore normal low cut ones and I regretted it. My skin was rubbed raw and it took days to recover. I didn't have this issue with my previous hiking boots because the collar is usually nicely rounded. I'm roughly 180 lbs and while the feet cushion did feel plush and great at first, mid-hike I didn't feel the same amount of cushion anymore. My knees did hurt. Perhaps it's my weight? My girlfriend has the same hiking boot and she wore long socks and is 117lbs. The heel tab/collar area also rubbed her achilles tendon area constantly but it was okay for her since she had long socks on. She also felt as if there was less cushion mid-hike but at the end of the hike, her knees were still happy. So our experiences and reviews are very different.

I used your shoe finder and determined I needed a wide shoe. I was sent a regular shoe.
I know your shoes are what I need, but I need the wide hiking shoe.

Even at one full size larger than my normal size, my toes were cramped. My Keens at one size larger have so much more room in the toe box so although the Hokas were supposed to be the most comfy shoes, they were NOT for me.

Not the shoe for serious or even moderate terrain. I really wanted this hiking boot to work out. Although very comfortable, breathable n water resistant it has absolutely no ankle support !! How could you let such a design flaw pass!! I wish I could return this shoe but well past my return policy. Gripe without ankle support does nothing but increase the potential for knee injuries. 1st through backpack in any rocky uneven terrain n I had to slow down n really mind my footing an balance, countless number of times I nearly fell/slip/roll my ankle/twist my knee. Also I'm fit n I've done that BP hike for over 10 years.

I had major ankle surgery and needed an active shoe with ankle support. They fit like a glove right out of the box with no break in time needed. I use them solely for playing disc golf. The soles are great for traction but wore away quickly and I'm walking mainly on dirt. I also had issues with the sole coming away from the cushioning. For the cost I expect a more durable shoe. These are barely making it to the 6 month mark. I'm on the fence on ordering another pair to give them another chance.

I was so excited to get these !!!! Total let down. I read every review before purchasing these, even waited because my size was on back order. I was expecting the comfort of my bondi 6 based on the reviews and these are stiff as a board and uncomfortable
Really bummed out

I bought these boots excited about the the comfort and fit on February 20, 2021. I have worn them once on soggy trails, for not more than an hour. The seams leaked. Upon inspection at home, I found a place in the tongue where the stitching is coming out, leaving a hole large enough for my thumb to fit in. BEYOND DISAPPOINTED

Owner of 7 pairs of Hoka running shoes. These are plush and look nice out of the box. After six mile snow hike, boot loosened and created hot spots and blisters. Heel will not lock in and tightening laces created folding of the tongue making them uncomfortable. Material is discolored after drying from the snow.

I have a very high arch and hiking boots are usually a hard to fit item for me. Firstly, these are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. BUT, they are NOT durable at all. Two days after these arrived, I did a small hike (5.5 miles) to break them in. I live in the desert so it was dry and rocky. I had no hot spots and the boots were very comfortable but, the tread on the bottom was already peeling off. For such an expensive and ugly boot, these are not durable at all. I purchased them to do 5-10 miles per week of hiking and if they are already falling apart after the first hike of the season, I can only imagine how they'd be if I kept hiking in them. I immediately sent them back as defective and am searching yet again for a comfortable hiking boot. Save your money and get something more durable.
