I bought these after extensive research, knowing I did not like the low top hikers for hiking in rocky terrain like the Sierras. I also hate gators. These fit the bill. I did wear them in before hiking the 220 miles of the John Muir and they felt great. I can confidently say that I have formed an opinion on these. The Pros: I love the cut or shape of this shoe. It has the perfect toe box, stack height. It is also light and a little water resistant. The comfort of the upper is really nice, the perfect height for a mid hiker. I also can say that I got some hot spots on the trail but I did not have to pop a blister on the entire trip. Seriously that is an accomplishment on the JMT!
The Cons: After the third day I noticed significant packing of the cushioning, to the point of feeling the rocks on the trail. I got worried. There is not a plate in these lowers and it compacts fast. Keep in mind these were very new when I started. I bought the black color and noticed in spots where temps were above 80 degrees that my feet got really hot with the waterproof material. It didn't stop me but It was evident. Spending all day hiking 2 12,000 ft. passes over 14 miles, you notice these things. The grip on the bottom was not great either. I noticed on gravely portions that the grip was bad. I had to adjust my hiking to compensate. The middle of the sole has a large spot with no lugs and is like a sponge material. If that gets wet, like after walking through a stream and then you hit a granite rock with gravel on it you could easily slip. I slipped multiple times and almost rolled my ankle because of the grip. I have really strong ankles and remembered thinking, wow that was close. I don't understand the lug design on the bottom at all. I also has some lugs come almost completely off. The upper near the heal also suffered significant wear on the trail, sheering after just a couple of scuffs over a few days. On day 12 one of the metal eyelets that holds the shoe strings popped out completely. Poor design. I just laced the lace through the hole left behind and it was fine for the last few days but for a brand new shoe to have that happen is just unacceptable. That said, these shoes made it through a brutal 220 miles on rock, dirt, water, shale, snow and sand and were comfortable. I have retired them though as the cons are enough to put them in the trash. Hoka is on to something with these shoes, however it is in need of a redesign to make them durable, and I won't buy another until I see a redesign. The shoe shape, weight and overall comfort are there though.

Cheap Design
5 years ago
I never even got to wear these out of the house. As I was lacing them up for the first time the hook eyelet broke. After inspecting, this is a cheap and weak design. they eyelet is a aluminum rivet and is very thin... I will replace these with something else. I am sure this design will break again...

Needs Work

While on a positive note these shoes are very very comfortable. However after a single week of use the glue that holds the uppers began delaminating from the shoe. This isn't acceptable, and I was forced to return them.

Terrible construction
4 years ago
I bought these because my podiatrist recommended Hoka One One shoes for my arthritic big toe. And they seemed to help. But the tongues on both of these shoes started to tear away within a few weeks of getting them. Very shoddy construction. So I had to return them. I've now purchased five Hoka One One shoes, and have had to return three of them, all for different reasons. Their design and manufacturing are sub par, to say the least. And I won't be buying any more Hoka One Ones.

Lasted two minutes
4 years ago
No exaggerating, this shoe lasted two minutes into my first hike in them before the hook eyelet locking the lace in on the ankle broke off. Hoka shoes are incredibly comfortable but never last long. I have to give up on them after this latest experience. Hoka forces you to pay to return a shoe for warranty. They made a shoe that lasted two minutes and want me to pay to have their mistake fixes. This is not the fault of REI although they should consider dropping the brand until they can make a quality shoe.

Nice boots but didn't last long
2 years ago
I bought these in Nov 2020, and I really haven't put that many miles on them, but there is already a crack in the toe. Otherwise, they are nice boots, and they were waterproof insofar as I tested them (after spraying them with protectant)

Great Shoe

Have had an ankle recon that left me with no cartilage in the front of the ankle. Lucky to be able to walk for an hour on a flat surface. Let alone up a hill. With these i am able to hike and even trail run again. They do run a bit larger and wider than Hoka's regular running shoes.

Great shoe, but.

Love the look and fit of this shoe, the toe box is nice and roomy without being a wide. It would be my go to hiking shoe if it had the plush cushioning. Since I need the plush cushion I can’t really wear them. Please Hoka add the plush cushioning to the TOA.

Initial impression: I love them!
3 years ago
It’s difficult for me to find comfortable, light-weight shoes for walking and light hiking that fit really well, so I’m glad I found these. I was puzzled at first by the way the sole curves up at the heel and the consequent oddness in feel, but once I got out walking in them, it made so much sense. I can see why other reviewers have said they can walk all day in these. The support is great and they’re even more comfortable when moving than standing still. One thing I’d like to address is my thoughts on the lacing system, which some other reviewers didn’t like. I’m not totally sold on it, but the hooks are only on the top two spots and on the whole, I really appreciate the ease this provides for getting these on and off. I can leave the lower lacing system at the tightness I prefer and don’t have to readjust them each time I put the shoes on. This comes at a cost of a few seconds each time they go on or off, but on the whole, I don’t mind a bit. As long as they wear as well as they look like they will, I’ll be very happy with these for many years.

Great Soles on Poor Boots
4 years ago
I have had Sky Toa shoes for over a year and use them on several 5-10 mile hikes per week. These are my fifth pair of Hoka Shoes, which I buy because their unique cushioned and rockered soles help minimize irregularities in my gait due to a stiff big toe. For my toe issue, Hoka makes the best soles I have found. Of the five pairs of Hokas I have owned, four have come apart, and I returned the Speed Goats due to several features I disliked. The Sky Tora shoes suffered a lot of water intrusion through the lowers, where the sole assembly and boot assembly are joined. These began to peel away from the fabric of the shoe. I reglued with goop and the water resistance improved, but my feet still get wet when hiking in soggy conditions. Another Hoka trait is over-lacing their shoes. The Sky Tora has five eyelets, two pairs of hooks, and webbing on the tongue that interferes with tightening or loosening the laces. A comparable pair of boots by another maker has four eyelets and one hook, is much easier to lace, and offers comparable comfort and performance. More is not always better.
