FAQs
Are the HOKA Torrent 4 shoes waterproof?
These shoes are designed for breathability and comfort; they are not waterproof.
What is the lug depth on the Torrent 4?
The Torrent 4 features 5mm lugs for aggressive traction.
Can I use these for road running?
While they can handle occasional pavement, they are optimized for trail terrain and the lugs may wear down faster on asphalt.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The Torrent 4 is available in standard UK sizing; refer to our size guide and ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the toe.
Is the sockliner removable?
Yes, the extra plush sockliner is removable if you need to use custom orthotics.
How often should I replace these hiking shoes?
Generally, trail shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity and harshness of the trails you traverse.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort or hot spots
Adjust the lacing tension and ensure you are using a hiking-specific sock with proper moisture-wicking properties.
Debris getting inside the shoe
Consider using a trail gaiter to cover the opening and prevent rocks or dirt from entering.
Midsole feeling less responsive after heavy use
Foam compression is normal over time; if performance significantly drops, check the outsole for uneven wear patterns that may indicate a need for replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your HOKA Torrent 4 hiking shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Ensure you select your appropriate UK size (available in increments starting from 4.5 up to 9). Because these are performance hiking shoes, wear the socks you plan to use on the trail when trying them on for size.
- Break-in Period: While plush, these shoes may require a few short hikes to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, remove the sockliner and air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources. Use a soft brush to remove dried mud from the 5mm lugs and outsole. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the midsole foam and adhesives.
