Hoka has launched a new adventure shoe that fits somewhere between a hiking shoe, a hiking sandal, and a water shoe, with practical features like a sticky, grippy outsole for traction on wet and dry surfaces.
The Hoka Hopara 2 is what we'd call a shandal, with a fully enclosed toe (with a hefty bumper for protection against rocks and roots) and an open sling back for breathability in warm weather, and allow water to sluice through during creek crossings or beach hikes.
