FAQs
What kind of activities are the HOKA ONE ONE Tor Summit 2 best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for a range of activities including light to moderate hiking, trail walking, city exploration, travel, and general everyday casual wear due to their balanced cushioning and durable construction.
How do I clean the nubuck leather on my Tor Summit 2 shoes?
To clean nubuck leather, first brush off loose dirt with a nubuck brush. For stains, use a damp cloth with a specialized nubuck cleaner, following the product instructions. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The HOKA ONE ONE Tor Summit 2 features luxe nubuck leather and a durable rubber mudguard which offers some resistance to moisture and splashes. However, they are not explicitly described as waterproof, so for heavy rain or submersion, additional waterproofing treatment is recommended.
What does 'neutral stability' mean for a shoe?
'Neutral stability' means the shoe is designed to support a natural stride without controlling or correcting foot motion. It's ideal for individuals whose feet don't excessively roll inward (overpronate) or outward (supinate) during their gait cycle.
What is Vibram Megagrip and why is it important?
Vibram Megagrip is a high-performance rubber compound specifically engineered for optimal grip on both wet and dry surfaces. It's important because it provides superior traction and stability, especially on challenging or varied terrain, reducing the risk of slips.
Are the Tor Summit 2 true to size?
HOKA shoes generally run true to size, but fit can vary by individual foot shape. It's recommended to try them on or refer to a size guide if you're unsure. The UK sizing for this model is 5.5.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel uncomfortable or fatigued after long walks.
Ensure your shoes are properly laced, not too tight or too loose. Verify you have the correct size and allow for a break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider trying different insoles that better suit your arch and foot shape.
The outsole seems to be losing its grip on certain surfaces.
Regularly clean the Vibram Megagrip outsole to remove any embedded dirt, mud, or small stones, which can reduce traction. Inspect the tread for excessive wear, especially if you frequently walk on abrasive surfaces. If the tread is significantly worn, the shoe's grip will diminish.
The nubuck leather uppers are looking dull or scuffed.
Use a specialized nubuck brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For scuffs or stains, gently clean with a damp cloth and a nubuck-specific cleaning solution. After cleaning, use a nubuck conditioner or protector to restore its appearance and provide future protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are tightened evenly across your foot. Start from the toes and work your way up, pulling firmly but not excessively to secure your foot without restricting circulation. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you experience pressure points.
- Break-In Period: While HOKA shoes are often comfortable out of the box, allow for a short break-in period, especially with leather uppers. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to conform to your feet.
Compatibility
- Activities: Ideal for light to moderate hiking, trail walking, urban exploration, travel, and everyday casual wear.
- Terrain: Performs well on varied terrain including dirt paths, gravel, pavement, and light rocky trails.
- Foot Type: Designed for neutral stability, making it suitable for individuals with a neutral pronation (feet that don't roll excessively inward or outward).
Care
- Cleaning Nubuck Leather: Use a specialized nubuck brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, apply a dedicated nubuck cleaner with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or submerging the shoes in water.
- Mudguard & Outsole: Wipe the rubber mudguard and Vibram outsole with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove mud and debris after each use. This helps maintain traction and extends the life of the sole.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, remove the insoles and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
- Protection: Consider applying a waterproof and stain-resistant spray specifically designed for nubuck leather to protect against moisture and maintain the material's appearance.
