Excellent Swiss Army Knife Boot

I was impressed enough to buy a pair of Hightop and Lowtop in this specific model. I've owned over 100 pairs of boots over the course of a 22 years Army career and 50 years of hiking and camping. These are the best, and I've spent over $500 on other boots that don't come close. The Goretex membrane does as intended, keeping water and snow out, and your feet dry and ventilated. The sole provides outstanding cushion and grip. For perspective, I'm 6 ft tall, 240 lbs and I've put over 120 miles on each pair via hiking and every day use. I didn't require a break in. Zero blisters, but one thing I learned over the 50 years, wear synthetic breathable socks...not cotton. If you must wear cotton socks, don't be too ashamed to wear silk or silicone stocking under them. Your feet will thank you. Nothing macho about getting blisters and walking around like you are walking on hot coals. The high tops and low tops fit true to my normal size of 13. For the reviews that say they are not plush, your experience is definitely not my experience. I've had hip and knee surgeries, these are great cushioned boots.

Too Narrow, Very Poor Tread Life - Looking Elsewhere

Full disclosure, this review is for the original Kaha GTX, not the Kaha 2, but seeing them in store they don't look or feel much different. First complaint, too narrow, should offer a wide option - I normally do not need to order wide. Biggest complaint is tread life. I've had other Vibram soled boots that took a beating, offered great traction and lasted a long time. I think Hoka cheated here and used cheap sneaker material for the sole and NOT Vibram as labeled. Wore traction off soles in 3 months, and that was NOT with daily use! Would not recommend if you're looking for something to last.

Solid

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good shoe, does its intended purpose. Feel warm. Good in the snow.

Very Comfy Boots

Comfy and affordable boots I use for field work as an engineer. Excellent discounted shoes. I will be purchasing this shoes again once it goes on sale again

These Things Are Junk!

I wore these things for 8 days for a back country hiking trip and they look like they're 2 years old. I literally just write them on the trail and the edges of them are torn and look ridiculous. They were comfortable, but I'm embarrassed to wear them now. Even worse is that they wanted me to pay for return shipping to warranty them. Then after they agreed to warranty them and send a return shipping label, they sent them back to me and said that they wouldn't warranty them because the damage is "normal wear and tear." I'll never buy Hoka again!
