No, they are a hybrid design suitable for both road running and trail hiking.
It is recommended to hand-wash with mild soap and water to preserve the integrity of the GORE-TEX membrane.
Yes, they feature a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane that prevents water entry while allowing moisture to escape.
While HOKA shoes often feel comfortable out of the box, it is recommended to take them on a few short walks before committing to a long-distance hike.
Consult the brand size guide and consider leaving a small amount of space for thicker hiking socks.
Ensure the shoe is laced correctly and that water is not entering through the ankle collar. Check that the GORE-TEX membrane is not punctured by sharp debris.
The multi-directional lugs are designed primarily for trail grip. Reduce speed during sharp turns on smooth pavement to maintain stability.
For the best fit, ensure you wear the type of socks you intend to use for hiking, such as moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool blends. Because these are GORE-TEX shoes, regular maintenance is required to keep the membrane breathable: 1. Remove loose dirt after each hike using a soft brush. 2. If the exterior gets muddy, rinse with cool water. 3. Always air-dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as extreme heat can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives.
