These beasts are incredible right out of the box. As of 2 weeks from getting them, I've put these through the ringer at Shenandoah. I was scared of the reviews that were saying these fit tight because my feet float somewhere between 10 and 10.5, are almost wide fit, and I also wear toe socks, but I felt like cinderella slipping these on in 10.5.The toe box on the Kaha's is generous and the interior is flawlessly padded - no uncomfortable grooves or stitching. I could feel the outline of the robust rubber toe cap, but I quickly forgot about it after half a mile. The midsole is a cloud, but not numb to the trail. The vibram outsole can take a beating and seriously, seriously grips everything wet and dry. My feet felt so loved and secured by the almost bucket-like ... MoreThese beasts are incredible right out of the box. As of 2 weeks from getting them, I've put these through the ringer at Shenandoah.

My feet felt so loved and secured by the almost bucket-like fit of the heel, which I didn't expect out of a low hiking shoe. The Nubuck upper is supple, but can get pretty toasty inside. The Kaha Low definitely trends as a cold and wet weather shoe, so bring extra socks or wear sock liner in case you hike these in the summer. Even under 40lbs on my back, these shoes made hiking a joy at even the most grueling points of the trail.All in all, if you're looking for a multi-day, long-range backpacking shoe that fits like a boot and is built for durability and all-day comfort, pull the trigger. Happy trails!

Heard a lot of good things about Hoka and decided to get a pair for my trip to Alaska. Perfect shoe for the entire trip; from the airport to the Artic Ocean to Resurrection Bay. I wound up wearing it more than the boots I packed for the expected mud because they were more comfortable. Great all around shoe for the outdoors.

I usually wear a 12 in boots. With HOKA I have to wear 12.5 with thin dress socks for the office or I order a 13 for my regular thick all year wool socks. These boots have excellent support and I wear them all day. My problem is that with the low ankle cut of this boot my foot does not have the extra strapping. Because I need to get a 13, I have some heel clap. But I am dealing with it bc the boot is otherwise excellent and keeps me out of pain.

The shoes felt good to me for backpacking in cold conditions. Cushioning is good, interior is soft and comfortable, outsole good, and waterproofing seems real good. They were stable when backpacking 25 miles. The outer of the shoe sheds water well. (unless rain runs down into them).I do wish they were a little lighter weight. Size 12 weigh 19 oz each, on my scale. They are a bit bulky , stiff and boot like, but good for winter backpacking
Same sort of soft ride as the higher Kaha with a similar grippy sole. Significantly more cushion than my old M Tor Ultra Low EG. I love the fit and feel, like a foot massage. I wear a 14 in the running shoes (Stinson ATR and Bondi Leather and SR), but a 13 in the hiking shoes and the Recovery Glide. I wear all my shoes with the Orange Super Feet insoles in size G; I have to trim them a little for the size 13s. Also, the lacing is good; the shoe feels very secure without having to tie it too tight.
This is everything I was looking for in a hiking shoe that I've been unable to find elsewhere... a durable upper, vibram soles, gore-tex liner, and maximum cushion. So, of course, I pre-ordered these when they were announced. I don't have particularly wide feet, but the forefoot on these is too narrow, and my feet started going numb after a short walk around the neighborhood. I also found the heal to rub slightly. I'll try and dial in the lacing around the heal and forefoot to improve the fit and minimize the rubbing issues. Maybe they'll break in, but if not, I'll likely be returning them within the 60-day guarantee period. If wider options become available, I would reconsider, but sadly, my search for the perfect hiking shoe continues.
I purchased a pair of Kaha GTX. These shoes didn't need a break in time. They were extremely comfortable and fit just as good. Unfortunately, they finally wore out. I wanted to try a pair of Kaha Low GTX. I thought that they were the same show as the Kaha GTX but didn't fit as high on your ankle. While they are very comfortable and now broken in, they tend to make my feet hurt in the foot arch area. I assume that they are made differently. I hope in the near future that my new Kaha Low GTXs will start to feel better on my feet. They have good cushioning but it doesn't seem quite as good as the Kaha GTX. I'm not saying that these shoes are bad, they just don't seem to feel as good as the Khah GTX. After these wear out I will go back to the Kaha GTX. They are sooooo ... MoreI purchased a pair of Kaha GTX. These shoes didn't need a break in time. They were extremely comfortable and fit just as good. Unfortunately, they finally wore out.

I bought these as a snow-day shoe but I want to wear them all the time. The level of cushion in the heel and stability is better than I have in any other shoe I own. Yet they're still plenty light to grab for a quick dog walk or something. Next level grip on the sole -- a real step up from a typical trail runner, but could still easily be used for that, too. It's great to have a shoe that's not quite an ankle-high hiker but more than a trail sneaker. This is it. Incredible product. Runs a little big, I'd say, but your mileage may vary.
I have the Kaha Gore-Tex mid in the same size and it is a first rate shoe, no problems at all. But the Kaha Gore-Tex low is a different case in the width and the lack of cushioning in tongue especially at the top (lacing up is going to hurt if you lace tight to avoid foot shifting on steeper descents). The width is so narrow that I had to trim the width of my Super-feet inserts to fit. I wore this shoe off and on for 4 weeks and they were super in so many ways (grip, look, stability, etc.); I really gave them a try. But my feet blistering on the instep after a 10-miler was the last straw. So back they go. Make them wider please!
Been a fan of Hoka since I bought my first pair of Bindi's. Decided to try the Kaha Low for hiking. Did a 25 mile backpack trip with a 30 lb pack up the Bonds in the White Mountain National Forest. My knees would normally hurt for a couple days after a hike like that, but this time they didn't hurt at all. The extra cushioning made a huge difference hiking the rocky NH trails. Traction and support were both great.My only gripe is that they don't carry the WIDE size like they do with the Bindi's. I had to go to a size 14 and wear liners with my socks. I'm hoping Hoka reads these reviews and starts offering WIDE sizes in these shoes by the time I'm ready to buy my next pair.
