Customer Reviews Hoka Toa GTX

Bought these for my Valentine. They are a hit! He loves the immediate comfort right out of the box. He wears them after ranching in cowboy boots and they are always his “go to” relaxing shoe. I will purchase another - just hard to find his size 14.

Great hiking boot.

I was surprised how comfortable these were right out of the box (literally). The last time I had proper hiking/walking boots, they were all leather and required a few decades to break in - but you dealt with bloody ankles and blisters for a while until the break in happened. (I might be exaggerating to make a point) These boots are lightweight. They seem well made. They are comfortable. They seem appropriately 'tough' to handle mud and water and rocks. I wasn't pleasantly surprised to see that they weren't super goofy looking. I know that Hoka One One reviews have often mentioned how visually, um, goofy? the shoes often look but I got the dark ones with the orange trim and I have to say they look pretty cool. I'd be fine wearing these with jeans in an airport on my way to somewhere. These (if I was traveling) would be my go-to travel 'sport' shoe for long hikes and walks. Size-wise, I used the little Zappos size tool where it factors in what size shoe you wear in another brand and recommends it for the pair you are looking at. I'm a 8.5 in most brands but the Zappos robot recommended a 9.0 for these and it was correct. Perfect size. Only other note: maybe a bit more arch support would be nice? I may get some insoles. I don't have crazy feet, but I did notice that compared to other sport-y shoes I have.

Perfect fit. Exactly what I wanted in a mid height hiking boot. I literally tried them on and went on a steep, rocky 5 mile hike!

This is the best hiking boot I’ve ever owned. Couple things. I live in Minnesota where it’s cold this time of year, this shoe holds no warmth especially on top. Just a heads up you northerners. The other thing, you have to wear a standard sock or ankle high sock or after a few hours the back of your ankle will hurt. I normally wear low cut socks but just bought some ankle ones and it feels a lot better for longer hours. Other then that it’s an amazing boot.
