The Hoka Kaha 3 Low GTX hiking shoes try their best to make it into the big leagues of the best hiking boots, but unfortunately, don’t quite make it. They tick all the right boxes on paper, but with confusing sizing, a narrow toe box, and minimal arch support, it’s hard to feel comfortable. The lack of breakability and flexibility also makes them tricky to recommend.
What they do offer is sturdy construction and effective waterproofing, which could be ideal for harsher elements. The 4mm lugs offer good traction, and maintenance is easy too.
