Customer Reviews Hoka Kaha 2 GORE-TEX®

General footwear

Great Quality and comfort. One of the best hiker/ winter boot I've purchased. I usually wear a size 11 but have noticed even in other brands I need an 11.5 size. Not sure if sizes are getting smaller of my feet grew now that I am 60. The only downside of these is the quick lace hooks need to be re-worked especially the very bottom one is tough to get the lace on the hook I would also recommend the tongue of the shoe should be 1/2 inch longer

The shoes themselves hurt my feet, so only wore them about 5 minutes in the house. Returning them was super easy. Dropped them off at a local store and recieved a full refund. Still looking to replace my favorite pair of Toa GTX. They are beyond there last leg. Unfortunately only a few options to shop locally, for hiking shoes.

Would love to wear these but need a wide width. I need a cushioned waterproof hiking boot, but Hoka doesn't make one. I hear Hoka has a Speedgoat 5 mid coming out, I hope they will make it in a wide width. I've always worn Hoka shoes but might have to look elsewhere if they don't start making more wide shoes and boots.

I returned the boot. I loved everything about it except I almost tripped going down stairs. The heel of the sole extends past the boot. I believe that is why I tripped. I know that kind of extended sole is a HOKA trend but a near head first fall down stairs was enough to convince me to send them back. BTW, I kept the predecessor model Kaya. Both should be a little wider IMHO.

As much as I dislike winter, I love my new Hoka boots! Enough said!

The Post Office was supposed to buy me a pair of these, with medical permission. They dragged their heels, and I replaced my hips instead. The good news is, now I can go hiking without back, hip, or knee pain, and climb and descend sketchy trails, all day, in these. Yep, best shoes I ever had.

I was looking forward to using these from the minute I first put my feet in them. I do a lot of day hiking 3-10 miles per and over various terrain. They have a great base structure/strong and lightweight. I did my first hike with them this weekend and really enjoyed the feel.

Extremely comfortable boot. Love the style. Only problem I have is that I ordered black and I received greenish black...other than that I love em

I work on ships and stand on steel sometimes 12 hrs a day. These boots feel like moccasins on my feet but with cushion. So far I've used them about a week with no discomfort or break in.

I am 69 years old and walk around 4 miles per day. The only criticism, and it is important, the tongue is not long enough. The laces slip in back of the tongue and become untied

I wear these for doing search and rescue. They are extremely comfortable and very supportive. However there is one major flaw - the gusseting on the tongue. The tongue needs to be fully gusseted. The gusseting is so low that even minor fording gets water into the boot. The minor annoyance I have is that the sole does not have a slot in the tread for gater straps unlike boots with a raised heel that have space for it. With these the strap sometimes grabs things since it is difficult to get it tight on the sole. Overall I love these boots. If they were updated with a fully gusseted tongue I would buy another pair immediately.

I am a police officer and on my feet a lot. Have tried others and they do not help my plantar fasciitis. These are like wearing a pair of your running shoes which I own also.

These are probably the most comfortable hiking boots I have ever owned, but the uppers wear out way too fast; ie, the last two pairs tore near the toe guards where my toe joints bend within the first year or two. Considering the price of these shoes as compared to others, I will not purchase again until HOKA replaces the upper material with something that will last longer.

Recently discovered the Hoka brand and my wife and I both bought Hoka Mach5's. However, I spend the vast majority of my time in duty boots or hiking boots. A friend enlightened me to the fact that Hoka also made boots. I couldn't find them anywhere until I went directly to Hoka's website. I ordered both a psi of SpeedGoats and a pair of Kahas. Easily the best boot I've ever worn, and I have extensive history and brand loyalty to Merrill. Until now. Thank you Hoka!

comfortable. What I needed

My husband loves these shoes! He only wear HOKAS and is so happy to have these to slip on! It was a lot of trouble to always have to put on shoes and tie them just to go to the garage or out o the porch. Now he can just slip on his Recovery 11 slippers and is ready to go without all the hassle. I will be ordering him another pair .

Needs a loop in the tongue for laces to go threw to hold it up.

Only drawback is the tongue is too short

The KAHA 240 are my 3rd pair of HOKA shoes, the other 2 are casual everyday shoes and a pair of running shoes. They immediately helped with pain in the balls of my feet. So, i bought a pair of the KAHA hikers for the winter, while they are comfortable and look great, they either dont breathe well or there is something in the materials that make my feet smell. I know for some people that is the norm, but I have never had an issue with that. I will still wear them but only when needed and not all day.

Great fit with lots of cushioning . . . Great for old knees with arthritis. The boots wear hot, so best for winter. Good traction in snow.

I love ever pair of hokas I've bought this far. These are of exceptional quality, well stitched, sole is great, but I wish there was a wide version available, then I'd give 6 stars.
