FAQs
Is the Tor Summit FLD waterproof?
The shoe is crafted with suede and canvas but is not marketed as waterproof. Applying a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede can help add a layer of protection against light moisture.
Does this shoe provide good arch support?
Yes, it features HOKA's signature supportive geometry designed to provide consistent cushioning and arch stability for various foot types.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them out for custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if needed.
Are these shoes true to size?
They generally fit true to size, but since they feature a more structured upper compared to mesh HOKA models, some users prefer a half-size up for extra room during long hikes.
What is the best way to clean the canvas sections?
Use a mixture of mild soap and water with a soft cloth to spot-clean the canvas, then dab dry with a clean towel.
Can I use these for technical climbing?
The Tor Summit FLD is designed for hiking and trail use. It does not have the specialized sticky rubber or edge precision required for technical rock climbing.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose or slip during hikes
Ensure the laces are threaded properly through the metal hardware and use a double-knot to lock them into the secure metal eyelets.
Suede appears dull after getting wet
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a shaded area. Once completely dry, use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.
Initial stiffness when walking
Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors or on flat, paved surfaces for 2-3 days to allow the suede and midsole to flex comfortably to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Tor Summit FLD, consider these maintenance practices. Because the upper features real suede, avoid machine washing or total submersion in water, as this can degrade the material and texture. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and dust after each hike. For stubborn stains on the suede, use a specialized suede eraser or cleaner. Ensure the laces are fully loosened when putting the shoe on to avoid putting unnecessary stress on the metal eyelets over time. To maintain the structural integrity of the midsole, store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense, prolonged sunlight.
