Customer Reviews Hoka Kaha Low GORE-TEX®

I HATE these boots! I bought them based on good reviews here on Zappos and recommendations from a friend who wears Hoka tennis shoes. The first pair I bought felt huge, although I ordered my regular size. I wear an 8 or Euro 38-39. I have a wide forefoot and narrow heels and I need normal arch supports. The first pair of Hoka Kaha I bought felt huge, although I ordered my regular size. I bought a smaller size and thought they would be workable although they felt much wider than normal. My foot slipped around in them, but the arch support on the right boot really pushed against my foot, making it ache after about 15 minutes into my walk. I tried thicker socks the next time, but I still couldn't get them to lace so they felt good. If I laced them tight enough to hold the heels, they made the tops of my feet hurt. If I loosened them to be comfortable, my heels slipped all over the place. Then, the insole started slapping against the sole of my foot, making a loud slapping sound that other people could hear -- there was just too much room inside. I tried four different insoles and at least 6 different pairs of socks, but I couldn't make these work. The last two times I wore them, I limped back to my car because they made my feet hurt so much, especially the arch support on the right boot. So, I wasted $200. I just took these to the thrift store. I have tried many other boots and I can recommend Oboz Sawtooth, Teva Sugar Pine and Saucony TR14 for comfort and support. I used to wear Keen Targhees but Keen "improved" them and now they are not well made or comfortable.

Everything! The Kaha has become my favorite Hoka! The blue suede is beautiful and easily works as street wear as well as a trekking shoe. I would order these in every color!

These shoes are so comfortable.

Pretty color, but more like low hiking shoes and I needed something closer to a sneaker.

Using for a trip and I love the comfort, fit and style!

The Kaha Low Gore -Tex shoe reminds me of my favorite Hoka shoe, the Tor Summit which unfortunately was discontinued. Like the Tor Summit it is wider in the toe area than other Hoka shoes. Unfortunately however it is about $50 more expensive than the Tor Summit shoe. This shoe is comfortable and roomy which works well for me. I walk gravel roads and I hope it performs as well over the next few months as the Tor Summit.

I have no issues with size while wearing a light wool sock. A heavy sock presents a challenge..... not bunion friendly. The "black......(second line) iris" color descriptive led me to believe I was purchasing black hiking shoes, but they are, in fact, navy blue. Because they are attractive and otherwise check all the right boxes, I'm looking forward to breaking them in!

VERY COMFY!

Ordering my Hoka shoes from Zappos was great. I ordered over the phone. The service, professionalism, and kindness from the support group was great. The shoes are very comfortable.

I've been wearing Hoka One One Bondi shoes since I've had plantar fasciitis. I needed a better hiking shoe and because I LOVE my other Hoka's for comfort ordered these Hoka Kaha hiking shoes. They are lighter weight, give me the cushioned support I need and are very comfortable. Have only walked the neighborhood to break them in, but so far am really looking forward to trying them out on the trail.

A bit wide but overall good fit. Bought these for hiking in Maine and to help not flare my plantar fasciitis. So far walking 4 miles and no pain.
