Customer Reviews Hoka Kaha 2 GORE-TEX®

I have been very disappointed in hoka products lately. They seem to have decided to make all toe boxes narrower. I used to love my hokas! The kaha was the most comfortable hiking boot I had ever worn. The new model crunches and irritates my toes. I'm finding a similar problem with the sneakers as well.. I wish hoka would go back to their original design! Bring back the Clifton 6 and the old style kaha!!!

I bought these for a December trip to Iceland and was mainly looking for great support, comfort, and water resistance. We hiked uneven terrain with multiple inclines, rode horses, went ATVing, and walked around a city. All around great shoe! I have a severe pronation and my feet did not hurt the entire 10 days. We also crossed several shallow rivers and I was impressed that these shoes held up to being waterproof. The only thing I wasn't pleased with is how my feet slid forward with big toes experiencing slight discomfort when hiking down a mountain with a steep grade, but also partially my fault for not stopping to adjust the laceswas tired and didn't want to lose momentum. I still give the boot 5 stars.

I was skeptical about these boots, 1) the price and 2)the only review that was given at the time I bought them. I was extremely impressed at the comfort, cushion, and they don't make my feet sweat. I wear taller socks with the boots and I don't notice any rubbing or uncomfortable areas. I have wide feet and in some Hokas I take wides. These boots weren't offered in wide and I have plenty of room in the toe box and heel. I have Achilles spur and and any other brand hurts my feet. I can stand/walk for hours with no issues. I would highly recommend. The price hurts a but so far far they've been worth it.

These shoes are so supportive and magnificently cushioned. I got there right before the first snow this year. Getting to wear them around made me so comfortable and not worry about slipping. I can't wait to wear them on a hike as well. The ankle support is flawless, it never even bothered my heel. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

I bought these for walks with my dog in the fall and winter. They keep my feet 100% dry and warm in puddles and snow. The sole is great, because it has a really secure contact with the ground. They are surprisingly lightweight compared to hiking boots. I bought the all black, because I wanted a neutral color. Plus they match my black dog, black coat, and black leather gloves (handmade in Italy ). I considered these for some time, because I have plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. However, I don't need my custom orthotic inserts with these! My feet and my legs don't ache after long walks! I feel really secure walking in these, which is important for me, because I have slipped and fallen in the past. If you are a mature person who needs a supportive shoe, these will give you comfort and warmth. I have been wearing these with thin socks, but you could definitely wear something thicker with them. Usually I buy a pair of shoes and wear them to death within a year or two, but now I have different Hokas for different purposes. These are my official dog walking/hiking shoes for fall and winter.

I bought these for not slipping while hiking in ice and snow but they are so comfortable and supportive that they are now my hiking boots for all conditions!!!

I was having alot of feet pain when my doctor told me to get a high top hiking boot to hold my ankles in place. These are excellent for that. They are so comfortable, would highly recommend.

Wear for work

This is what I have been looking for. Neutral/Plush and a wide toe box. Also it has a padded tongue that is comfortable which should be on all Hoka shoes in my opinion-not the stabby thin tongue like on some models. Also, I love the color. Not all Hoka lovers like flashy colors, so thank you Hoka.

These boots are comfortable and I feel like I'm walking on a cloud. They also keep me feeling warm the whole time. I do wear merino wool socks with them though. You also have to buy a size bigger than your normal size. I'm an 8 and it suggested I get 8.5. They fit perfect.

I bought these to replace my Tor Ultra Hi boots that I bought in 2018 and have lost their cushion and were no longer water proof. So far, I am loving them. I have a pair of Toa's as well, but they just aren't as cushy and supportive as the Tor and Kaha's are. I wear these all winter long for walking the dog, snowshoeing, anything where I want to be warm, dry and comfortable. It's always hard to bite the bullet and pay the hefty price, but if these last we well as my Tors did, I think it will be worth it.

I buy my Hoka's online because I can get medium width. Stores only carry wide. I would do even better with a narrow width, but unfortunately they are not available. Otherwise, Hoka's are the best shoes I've ever had. I get a new pair every year, but I'm still wearing my old ones! I wore corrective shoes from ages 2-14 (I'm now 76). I don't buy cheap shoes!! Now that I've found Hoka's, that's all I buy. They are fabulous! PLEASE start making narrow widths!

The boot is very comfortable but I wish it hasmd a little more cushion. These boots are water proof and feel great. Light and comfortable boot.

I didn't pay enough attention to the specs before purchasing, just assumed I wanted the most plush shoe since that is what I like in my walking/running Hokas. These were indeed plush, but they were also quite a bit heavier and stiffer than what I was used to (the Tor, which is no longer available). They are probably a lot closer to what people expect from a standard hiking boot, and they seemed comfortable enough, but they were not what I was looking for. I returned them and got the speedgoat instead, which provide the more "sneaker"-like feel I apparently prefer. These may be fine for others who need/want all that shoe.

Hiking and taking my dog for walks and runs in these comfortable boots is awesome. They are supportive a d super comfy!!

I like them a lot. They're comfy & cozy with my wool socks. Great color!!!!

They're so comfortable for walking
