Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
Yes, they feature GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology, which is designed to keep water out while remaining breathable.
Can I replace the quick-toggle laces with standard laces?
Yes, the eyelets are compatible with standard laces if you prefer a traditional tie-up method.
Are these suitable for long-distance hiking?
They are ideal for light hiking and urban exploration, but for highly technical or rocky terrain, a more rigid, dedicated hiking boot may be preferred.
How do I ensure the right fit?
HOKA sizing is generally consistent; however, ensure you have about a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe to prevent toe crowding during descents.
Is the outsole slip-resistant?
The Vibram EcoStep outsole provides excellent traction on a variety of surfaces, including wet pavement, but use caution on smooth, icy, or oily surfaces.
What is the primary material in the midsole?
The midsole is crafted from a 35% sugarcane-derived EVA blend, focusing on sustainable performance.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose or slip during walking
Ensure the toggle is fully locked and the excess lace is tucked securely into the designated elastic keeper loop.
Feeling moisture inside the shoe
Verify that your socks are not wicking moisture into the collar. If the GORE-TEX layer feels breached, ensure the shoe exterior is clean, as dirt buildup can clog the breathable membrane.
Midsole foam feels compressed
Allow the foam to 'rest' for 24 hours between heavy usage to let the EVA material recover its original cushioning properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, adjust the quick-toggle lacing system by pulling the toggle to tighten the fit across the midfoot. If the fit feels too loose, tighten the toggle and secure it in the provided lace loop.
For maintenance, wipe the shoes down with a damp cloth after exposure to mud or dirt. To protect the GORE-TEX membrane, avoid machine washing or drying, which can damage the waterproofing layers. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can warp the EVA foam.
