FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The HOKA Tor Summit features a leather upper and mudguard, which offer some water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions.
What type of terrain are these shoes best for?
These shoes are designed for a mix of terrain, including light hiking trails, rocky paths, and urban environments, thanks to their durable construction and Vibram Megagrip outsole.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by HOKA or the retailer. The Tor Summit is designed for adult foot sizes.
Can I wear these for running?
While they offer cushioning, the Tor Summit is designed as a hiking shoe with a more robust build. For running, HOKA offers dedicated running shoe models.
What is the main difference between this and a traditional hiking boot?
The Tor Summit combines traditional hiking elements like leather and a sturdy outsole with HOKA's signature cushioning and a more contemporary, versatile silhouette.
How often should I clean and condition the leather?
Regular cleaning with a brush is recommended after use. Conditioning the leather every few months, or as needed based on wear and environmental conditions, will help maintain its quality.
Troubleshooting
Laces do not stay tied
Ensure laces are threaded through the metal eyelets correctly and tied using a secure knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn.
Discomfort during long wear
Verify that the shoes are laced appropriately, not too tight or too loose. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Break-in period may be required for new shoes.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While Vibram Megagrip offers excellent traction, always exercise caution on extremely slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free from mud or debris that could affect grip.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Clean the shoes with a soft brush or damp cloth. Apply a leather conditioner suitable for nubuck leather to restore moisture and appearance. Follow drying instructions carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Tor Summit requires no specific setup beyond standard lacing. Ensure laces are tied securely but not overly tight to allow for foot swell during activity.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adult use and are compatible with most standard hiking socks. They are suitable for a range of activities from light hiking to everyday wear.
Care: To maintain the nubuck leather, use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying away from direct heat. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, which can damage the leather. Periodic treatment with a leather conditioner designed for nubuck can help preserve the material.
