FAQs
Are the HOKA Stinson 7 shoes waterproof?
No, the HOKA Stinson 7 hiking shoes are not waterproof, but they are designed to be water-resistant and offer good drainage. For full waterproofing, consider models specifically labeled as waterproof or use waterproof socks.
What is the main benefit of the H-Frame™ technology?
The H-Frame™ provides inherent stability to the shoe without using rigid materials. It helps to cradle the foot and offers support that adapts to your stride and the terrain.
Can I use these shoes for everyday walking?
Yes, due to their max cushioning and comfort features, the Stinson 7s are excellent for everyday walking, especially if you are on your feet for long periods or prefer a plush feel.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the sizing guide and measure your foot. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The UK 7.5 is specifically noted for this model.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
While HOKA shoes generally offer a comfortable fit, they are not typically offered in wide-specific widths for this model. If you have very wide feet, try them on with your usual hiking socks to assess the fit.
How often should I replace my HOKA Stinson 7 shoes?
The lifespan of hiking shoes varies based on usage, terrain, and care. Typically, they last between 300-500 miles. Look for signs of wear such as compressed cushioning, worn-out tread, or diminished support.
What terrain is best for the Stinson 7?
The Stinson 7 is designed for versatility. It performs well on paved roads, gravel paths, dirt trails, and moderate singletrack. It handles varied conditions from smooth surfaces to uneven terrain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure the heel is locked down and there is enough room in the toe box. Consider trying a different sock thickness.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Clean the outsole lugs to remove any packed-in debris. Note that while designed for versatile traction, extreme wet conditions can always present challenges. Ensure you are not wearing down the lugs significantly.
Discomfort after long wear
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Break in the shoes gradually. If the discomfort persists, it may indicate the cushioning level or support is not ideal for your foot type.
Water ingress
These are not waterproof shoes. For very wet conditions, consider waterproof socks or a dedicated waterproof hiking boot. Allow shoes to dry thoroughly after getting wet.

Care:
- Cleaning: After use, brush off loose dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use a dryer or radiator, as excessive heat can degrade the adhesives and materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
