HOKA ONE ONE Tor Summit - Black - UK 11

The nubuck leather upper and rubber mudguard offer some resistance to light moisture and splashes. However, they are not fully waterproof and are not designed for submersion. For wet conditions, consider applying a waterproofing spray designed for nubuck.

Neutral stability means the shoe is designed to support a natural foot motion without overcorrecting for pronation (the inward rolling of the foot). It's generally suitable for individuals with neutral arches or mild pronation.

The Tor Summit is designed with alpine heritage and features like the Vibram Megagrip sole, making it suitable for light trails and general outdoor lifestyle use. For serious, technical hiking, dedicated hiking boots designed for more extreme conditions and support might be more appropriate.

The product is listed in UK sizing. It's recommended to measure your foot length and refer to HOKA's official sizing chart for the most accurate fit. If you own other HOKA shoes, you may find the sizing consistent.

The Vibram Megagrip sole is a high-performance rubber compound known for its exceptional grip on both wet and dry surfaces. It provides superior traction and durability, making the shoes reliable in diverse conditions.

Balanced cushioning provides a comfortable feel that is neither overly plush nor too firm. It aims to offer a good blend of impact absorption and responsiveness for versatile use.

Ensure you have the correct size. While the Tor Summit offers balanced cushioning, consider trying different insoles for personalized arch support if needed. Break in new shoes gradually.

Regularly use a nubuck brush to gently remove surface dirt. For scuffs, carefully rub with the nubuck brush. For stubborn stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner according to product directions.

While Vibram Megagrip offers excellent traction, no sole is entirely slip-proof on all surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean of mud or debris that could reduce grip. Adjust your gait on extremely slick surfaces.
