Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Stinson 8 is designed for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who demand maximum cushioning and reliable stability across both road and trail environments. This versatile shoe excels at providing a plush ride through its updated H-Frame midsole, though its maximalist profile may feel bulky to users accustomed to lightweight, minimalist trail shoes.

FAQs
Are the Stinson 8 shoes waterproof?
The Stinson 8 is designed for high breathability, so it is not inherently waterproof. It is best suited for dry or mild weather conditions.
Can I use these for road running?
Yes, the Stinson 8 is designed as a road-to-trail hybrid, providing ample cushioning for road usage while maintaining the grip needed for trails.
How does the Stinson 8 differ from previous models?
The Stinson 8 is the lightest model in the series, featuring an updated H-Frame midsole and a refined lug pattern for improved traction.
Do I need to size up for these hiking shoes?
HOKA shoes generally fit true to size. If you plan to wear thick wool hiking socks, some users prefer a half-size larger for extra toe room.
How long should the cushioning last?
While durability depends on usage and weight, the high-quality foam is designed to retain its cushioning properties for approximately 400 to 500 miles of use.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping within the shoe during descents
Try a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better lock the heel into the footbed.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe on trails
Consider wearing low-profile gaiters if the terrain is particularly sandy or rocky.
Midsole foam feels firm in cold temperatures
The foam is temperature-sensitive; wear them for 10-15 minutes of movement to allow body heat to restore the intended plushness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Stinson 8s, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short periods on paved surfaces before attempting long, technical hikes to allow the foam to adapt to your foot.
- Cleaning: Remove caked-on mud after every hike using a soft brush. If necessary, clean with cool water and a mild, non-abrasive soap. Never submerge the shoes fully in hot water.
- Drying: Air dry only at room temperature. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as high heat can damage the foam and adhesive.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the laces are loosened to allow the interior to fully dry after humid hikes.
