FAQs

Are the HOKA Kaha 3 GTX shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, they feature GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology, which provides waterproof protection. However, water can still enter the shoe if submerged or if water gets in through the top.

How do I clean the shoes?

Use a soft brush and lukewarm water to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Allow them to air dry.

What kind of terrain are these shoes best suited for?

They are designed for hiking on trails, including rocky, uneven terrain. They are also suitable for multi-day backpacking trips.

What is the lifespan of these shoes?

The lifespan depends on usage, but with proper care, they can last for many miles of hiking. Inspect the outsole for wear and tear, and replace the shoes when the traction diminishes.

Can I use these shoes for running?

While the Kaha 3 GTX is suitable for walking, it is primarily designed for hiking. The weight and design may not be ideal for running.

What type of socks should I wear with these shoes?

Hiking socks made of moisture-wicking materials like wool or synthetic blends are recommended for optimal comfort and performance.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Kaha 3 GTX?

The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm.

Troubleshooting

Water is entering the shoe.

Check the laces and tongue for proper closure. Ensure the shoes are not damaged and the GORE-TEX membrane is intact. Reapply waterproofing treatment if needed.

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the laces for a more secure fit. If the problem persists, try a different sock thickness or a different size shoe.

Loss of traction.

Clean the outsole regularly to remove mud and debris. Check for excessive wear on the Vibram® Megagrip outsole; consider replacing the shoes if the tread is significantly worn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
