HOKA ONE ONE Tor Summit 2 - Black - UK 7

The nubuck leather and rubber mudguard offer good water resistance and protection against splashes and light moisture. However, they are not fully waterproof and are not designed for submersion or heavy rain without additional waterproofing treatment.

Vibram Megagrip is a high-performance rubber compound used in the outsole, renowned for its exceptional grip and traction on both wet and dry surfaces. It provides superior stability and confidence across diverse terrains.

The Tor Summit 2 is designed for lifestyle wear and tackling diverse, light to moderate trails. While it has alpine heritage, it's not intended for technical mountaineering or extremely rugged, multi-day backpacking trips. For those activities, more specialized footwear would be recommended.

HOKA shoes generally run true to size for most individuals. It is recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. Measure your foot length and compare it to HOKA's sizing chart if trying on is not possible.

Cleaning frequency depends on usage. If worn regularly on trails, clean after each use to maintain traction and material integrity. For lifestyle wear, clean as needed to remove dirt and maintain the appearance of the nubuck leather.

The Tor Summit 2 features a relatively low-cut design typical of a sneaker or light hiker, offering moderate ankle support. While it provides good stability underfoot, it does not offer the high ankle support found in traditional high-cut hiking boots.

The nubuck leather offers durability but can be less breathable than mesh. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. Allow shoes to air out completely between uses.

Regularly clean the Vibram Megagrip outsole to remove accumulated mud, dirt, or small stones that can reduce grip. Use a stiff brush and water if necessary.

Use a specialized nubuck brush to restore the nap and remove superficial dirt. For stains, apply a dedicated nubuck cleaner according to its instructions. Consider a protector spray after cleaning.

This can sometimes occur if the insole is rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or try a different pair of insoles. Ensure laces are tied snugly to prevent excessive movement.

Nubuck leather may require a break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter durations over several days to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot's shape.
