Full details
The HOKA Stinson 8 is designed for hikers and trail runners seeking a balance of maximalist cushioning and reliable stability across varied terrain.

FAQs
Are the Stinson 8s waterproof?
No, these shoes focus on breathability and are not constructed with a waterproof membrane.
Can I use these for road running?
Yes, they are designed as a hybrid road-to-trail shoe, though the lugged outsole is best suited for mixed surfaces.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, it is recommended to replace hiking footwear every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of use and terrain harshness.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the stock insoles can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if needed.
Do these provide arch support?
The H-Frame construction provides inherent structural support that offers a degree of arch stabilization.
How do I determine my correct size?
It is recommended to measure your feet late in the day when they are slightly swollen and compare them to the manufacturer's size guide.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during descents
Try a 'runner’s loop' lacing technique to better secure the heel and midfoot area.
Mud buildup between lugs
Use a stiff plastic brush or a dull-edged tool to clear the channels between lugs after dry, which restores traction for the next hike.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Stinson 8s, verify your size as HOKA fits can vary slightly due to the plush internal padding. Upon arrival, test the fit with the specific socks you intend to use for hiking. For maintenance, clean the shoes using a soft brush to remove dried mud and debris from the lug grooves. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the integrity of the foam cushioning and adhesives. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and stuff the interior with newspaper to draw out moisture in a cool, shaded area.
