Customer Reviews Hoka Kaha 2 GORE-TEX®

By far the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn for work. I'm a courier for FedEx. Ground pounding all day. These shoes look and feel great. I have several Hoka brand shoes and will most definitely continue buying and supporting the brand. My feet love these shoes.

I take about 20000 steps a day for work. And my boots are constantly getting wet. These are by far the most comfortable boots I've ever owned. They they keep my feet completely dry even when it's raining heavily outside. And my feet don't cook like they did in other waterproof boots. I like them so much I just ordered a second pair.

I deal with plantar fasciitis in my left heel and my work boots were making walking torture. From the minute I started wearing my hokas my pain has eased more each day, now 2 weeks in and I'm almost pain free and can concentrate on my work instead!

Will be using them for hiking and backpacking. I have two other pairs of the 2GTX that fit perfectly, this particular shoe had a very wide toe box. Was not the same fit as the other I have. I've returned them and ordered a different color.

I really love the design and style of boot the Kaha Gtx 2. I wish their was a better sole that feels like walking on clouds

I use one pair for working outside and hiking and this pair for more social things like shopping. They are so comfortable that I commonly go naked, wearing only these boots; well, weather and social situations permitting

I surprised him with these hiking boots as his old ones were too narrow after his foot surgery. These fit a bit wider, but I also went up one size to accommodate thick winter socks. He said it's like walking on air. We are headed to Moab next month and will get to give them a workout!

I needed a new set of boots for a work trip in Whistler where I would be standing outdoors in rainy, snowy, wet conditions for 9 days. After an achilles and a few other injuries including broken bones and strained tendons, shoe/boot comfort is truly paramount to my purchases, and for context, I wear Hoka Bondi 7s basically 100% of the time. The Bondi 7 gives me so much comfort, I bought 5 new pair when I saw they would be discontinued, so you could call me a superfan of the shoe. I was skeptical any boot could as comfy as my Bondis, but the Kaha 2 GTX felt amazing out of the box. I use special insoles which slipped right in, and I felt no break in period for the Kahas. Immediately I could tell the boot runs warm - likely due to the goretex - which isn't a big deal for me because my feet are usually cold. Take note for those who constantly run hot though as I don't believe these would work as well for you. After wearing the Kahas for ~12 hours a day, standing or walking in cold and slushy environments in 20-30 degree F temps, I can confidently say I absolutely love these kicks. They have stiff soles (important for my injuries), great arch support, fantastic ankle support (worked very well for hiking on slippery and sharp British Columbia rocks), and kept my feet warm with just basic Smartwool hiking socks. I actually liked them so much I wore them to the airport and on my long flight home instead of the Bondis in my backpack. As a side note, I actually think they are a very attractive boot and don't scream HOKA like the running shoes. I bought the duffel bag/radiant yellow colorway and think they go nicely a wide array of attire. I even slipped into an extremely fancy cocktail party in Whistler wearing these boots, some nice looking Kuhl slacks, and a flannel button down. No one kicked me out - at least not for what I was wearing!

Comfortable

Incredible boots, as with all HOKA shoes. Lovvvveee HOKA !!

I can't say enough about this boot. Great quality and fit. I do wish they were just a bit more cushy though. I just add a good cushy insole insert to add to the comfort.

I'm a bus driver and I need comfortable boots that allow my feet to breathe as well as protect them and these measures up to the challenge

I like these boots a lot. I can tell you about lots of other Hoka shoes and boots I have tried and do not like. (But I won't) These have great support. The foot box, finally, is wide enough. The waterproof fabric looks good. They are not too squishy and not too hard. I don't know of better soles than Vibram. There you go Hoka! Now you can stop making them! Ha ha ha.

The Hoka Kahas powered me through all 100 miles of the Wonderland trail! I had serious doubts about using a high stack, softish boot, with minimal tread, but I decided to take a chance because I needed some relief for my old bones from carrying a heavy backpack up/down mountains. They actually proved to be VERY stable, not squishy at all, while eating up jagged rocks. The wide base was awesome. The flared heel allowed me bounce down hills. My feet loved them at the end of each day. The tread held up well, even on stretches of sharp volcanic rock, but granted most of the wonderland is a dirt path. I would say these are 300-500 miles boots depending on your weight and terrain. I am 6foot, 205 lbs and carry a 30lbs pack. The leather was protective and solid.

These boots are absolutely the very best. Comfort, support and style are incredible. I normally were a size 16 but thought I would try a size 15 in these boots. They fit incredible. Don't make a mistake by going to another brand. HOKA is absolutely the best.

I am ex-military I have put miles and days on hiking boots. These feel like a perfect glove. No inserts required with these. I love the colors and the water and cold resistance as I use them hiking in the mountains of Asheville, NC. I feel prepared for long journeys and extreme terrain/weather.

Bought these for a gift, fit perfectly & were exactly as shown on the site. Great support, fast delivery

Most comfortable hiking/waterproof boot I've ever put on right out of the box! Almost no break in needed. Highly recommended for anyone!!

I needed a more comfortable hiking boot, and naturally HOKA was my first choice but I was expecting a tradeoff on support but man was I wrong! These shoes are awesome and while not as durable as traditional hiking boots I wouldn't mind replacing these more often to have that warm HOKA hug feeling on my hikes. I travel with at least 50 pounds strapped to my back and I have had no issues with these, the tread is even a bit more aggressive than their regular shoes which is huge because if I had a single complaint about this company it would be the surface area of the treads on all their shoes but this shoe is making steps in the right direction. Overall, completely worth it if you're on the fence. And worth replacing more often because YES it is THAT much more comfortable!

They look and feel great! Also tougher and hold up better than my other HOKAs.

Wore my old boots for 2 days straight and came home with foo5 pain. Knowing i was traveling to the mountains (in winter) and Hokas were the o ly things i could wear all week, I ordered these boots in the gortex version. SIZE 15. They fit great, cushioned well, and my feet felt great in them all weekend. Wore them through mud , snow and a river. Submerfged them in icey water to my ankles and feet stayed dry. Great traction and a pleasure to wear for city hiker in the mountains. Can't tell you how they will wear, but will update my review after the season. I was pleased and impressed!

These boots are super comfortable. They run true to size. Very durable yet very lightweight. I recommend them highly.

I am a college professor and my Kaha's are my day-to-day work shoes. Over four decades I have worn Docs, Timberlands, Merrells, and Danners just to name a few. Nothing has come close to the comfort of my Kahas. I would enthusiastically recommend tKahas as a go-to everyday boot.

Love the new color! I have had many pair! Love this style and fit!

Very light and comfortable. Prior foot issues have made work boots an issue. Been wearing the shoes for years and now I'll be wearing the boots too!
