Andrew Bettlach. Hoka One One is no longer just a running shoe company. The Sky Kaha GTX is a better, more waterproof version of last year’s non-GoreTex model. I can happily say that this is my new favorite hiking boot, thanks to an unrivaled blend of plush comfort, solid stability, a relatively light weight, and so much more. Weight. The highlight of this Hoka boot is its light weight. The Trail Code GTX comes in at 15.5 oz (440g) which is about 20% lighter than the average weight of our lab-tested hiking boots! On the trail, it feels more like a running shoe with a high-top collar and added protection. Test results. Most importantly, they're tough. Speaking of hitting the trails, that's where I think the Transports really shine. They're not overly technical, so the price isn't astronomical.

I chose this hiking shoe for my trip west, hiking some rugged terrain in Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado. These shoes did NOT disappoint. Very comfortable with good lateral and ankle support. Waterproof, which came in handy many times. Excellent gripping of rocks, roots, and muddy terrain. Whatever it is, the HOKA ONE ONE TenNine Hike is relief for your achy knees and feet. This futuristic-looking boot is equipped with 33 towering millimeters of foam composite in the midsole (the boot has a 4-millimeter drop), as well as a gigantic heel that sticks out nearly 2 inches behind the foot. Features a premium lightweight and breathable GORE-TEX bootie that keeps your feet dry in a variety of weather conditions. Water-resistant mesh upper offers wearability in a variety of seasons. Anatomically designed molded foam collar provides additional ankle support. Midsole features a new lightweight foam for a more responsive ride. For the most part, the Speegoat 2s have made me a satisfied Hoka One One customer. They excel at what they were designed for, which is trail running. Their main limitations were discovered when backpacking, where they caused me blisters and foot soreness. I wish the outsole lugs were made of a stiffer material. HOKA epitomizes this concept with the Kaha GTX (also called the Sky Kaha GTX), named for the Māori word for strength and support. This midweight hiker/backpacking boot, which comes in at around $220, packs in a plethora of comfort without going overboard on weight. There was simply no competition when it came to our choice for winner of Most 6EquGE.
