FAQs

How do I clean my HOKA Kaha 3 GORE-TEX shoes?

Use a soft brush and lukewarm water to clean the shoes. Avoid using harsh chemicals or detergents. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Kaha 3 GORE-TEX comes in standard width sizes. If you have wide feet, it's recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

Yes, they can be used for trail running, especially on moderate distances and softer trails. However, they are primarily designed for hiking.

What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?

Wear hiking socks that wick away moisture and provide cushioning. Wool or synthetic blends are good choices.

What is the warranty on HOKA shoes?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight.

Adjust the lacing, especially around the midfoot and ankle. Consider trying a half-size larger if needed.

Water is leaking into the shoes.

Check the laces and tongue to ensure they are properly sealed. Ensure the shoes are not worn out or damaged.

The outsole is losing grip.

Clean the outsole regularly to remove mud and debris. If the lugs are severely worn, consider replacing the shoes.
