Hoka Kaha 3 Low GTX Hiking Shoes - Blue - UK 6

While not specifically designed as wide-fit shoes, the lacing system allows for some adjustment. However, individuals with very wide feet might find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing guides.

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher grime, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. After cleaning and drying, apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for outdoor footwear to maintain suppleness and water resistance.

The MetaRocker™ technology, with integrated flex grooves, is designed to encourage a natural walking motion and smooth heel-to-toe transitions, reducing fatigue over long distances.

While they offer good cushioning and traction, the Kaha 3 Low GTX are optimized for hiking, emphasizing comfort and support for extended periods. They are not intended as dedicated trail running shoes, which typically offer a lighter, more agile design.

The GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane is highly durable. With proper care and cleaning, the waterproof and breathable properties should last for the functional lifespan of the shoe. Avoid excessive heat or abrasive damage.

The HOKA Kaha 3 Low GTX has a heel-to-toe drop of 7.00mm. This is a moderate drop designed to provide a balanced feel between cushioning and natural foot positioning.

No, the shoes are constructed with leather, which is not a vegan material. However, they do incorporate recycled polyester in the lining and GORE-TEX fabric, and sugarcane EVA in the midsole.

This could be due to sweat accumulation. Ensure you are using moisture-wicking socks. Check that the GORE-TEX membrane is not compromised; clean the shoes thoroughly. If the issue persists, internal moisture may be entering from the ankle collar if not properly sealed.

Ensure the Vibram® Megagrip outsole is clean and free from mud or debris that could fill the lugs. The compound is designed for grip, but extremely slick, polished surfaces might still pose a challenge. Check for wear on the outsole tread.

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly, providing a secure but not overly tight fit. The Achilles-friendly heel collar is designed for comfort, but break-in may be required for some users. Ensure socks are not bunching up.

The Kaha 3 is designed with plush cushioning. If you prefer a firmer feel, consider breaking them in further or using an aftermarket insole with more support. Ensure you are on stable terrain, as the cushioning can absorb unevenness.
