HOKA ONE ONE Tor Summit - Black - UK 6

While the nubuck leather upper offers inherent water resistance and the metal mudguard provides protection, these sneakers are not fully waterproof. For enhanced water resistance, consider applying a suitable nubuck protector spray.

The Tor Summit sneakers are designed for lifestyle and light trail activities, prioritizing comfort, durability, and grip. While you could technically run short distances, they are not optimized for high-performance running due to their more substantial build.

HOKA shoes generally run true to size. We recommend trying them on, preferably with the type of socks you plan to wear. Ensure there's a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe, and that your heel feels secure without slipping.

These shoes excel on varied terrain including urban pavements, gravel paths, and light to moderate trails. The Vibram Megagrip sole provides excellent traction across these surfaces.

'Neutral Stability' means the shoe is designed to accommodate the foot's natural motion without providing extra support to correct pronation (inward rolling of the foot) or supination (outward rolling). It's suitable for a wide range of foot types.

The lifespan of the Tor Summit sneakers depends on usage and care. With their durable nubuck leather upper and Vibram Megagrip sole, they are built for longevity, especially with proper maintenance and for their intended use.

Use a specialized nubuck brush to gently buff away scuffs. For deeper marks, a nubuck eraser or cleaner can help restore the texture and appearance. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks to help manage heat and sweat. Take breaks during prolonged activity to air out your feet. The leather upper inherently offers less ventilation than mesh, so this is normal in hotter conditions.

Inspect the Vibram Megagrip sole for any embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the tread thoroughly with a stiff brush and water to ensure maximum contact with the ground. If wear is significant, consider the shoe's lifespan.

Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot or surgeon's knot. You can also consider replacing the laces with a different material or style if the issue persists.
