Incredibly comfortable and the new outsole appears to be much more durable as there is significantly more Vibram. Also love the new aesthetic and a tougher toe box.
For those coming from the Kaha 2, just be aware you will likely need to size up half a size as the toe box does appear to be a little narrower in this version. I found a half size up fit perfectly.
So excited to put hundreds of miles on these!

Undersized
RCM6 months ago
I have purchased a couple of pairs of Kaha2s in a size 10 and they fit very well. I recently purchased a pair of Kaha 3s in a size 10 and my toes were crushed against the front of the sole. Tighter width wise as well. REI should inform customers about the disparity in sizing. These are worthless to me.

Best Kahas yet
4 months ago
I loved my original Kaha GTX boots and had a total of 8 pairs. I hike a lot... Additionally, I did not care for the heel build on the Kaha 2's and so kept finding and buying Kaha GTX for the run of the 2's. Now the 3 is out and I am back in my happy place. In fact the 3's are everything that was great about the GTX but maybe a touch more heavy duty (certainly the lace hooks feel industrial strength). As ever, Kahas feel like a whole different world as far as comfort is concerned when compared to anything else I have tried. You can put them on right out of the box and hit the trails. (perhaps not too far on the first one.). I don't have wide feet and they fit me like a dream. I'll let those with wide feet opine on their experience. This an easy boot to wear all day, whether hiking the trails or the malls. Ankle support is stellar, cushioning sublime. You should at least add them to the mix you're considering. Personally, I won't wear anything else.

To tight around the toes
2 months ago
I loved my Kaha 2 GTX because of the wide toe box (plus of course the incredible waterproofing, cushioned midsole and soft supporting uppers). The Kaha 3 looks almost the same but is tighter around the fore foot and especially the toes. I normally where a 10.5 boot, but this was a problem even in the size 11 I ordered. I don't know why they made this change. Hoka's a known for their comfort and fit around the toes. Luckily, I was able to buy another Kaha 2 and I hope it will last until a (hopefully) improved Kaha 4 comes out. Other than this, the boot looks great as expected.

Too narrow to consider
5 months ago
This boot appears to be well-made, but it is way too narrow. In fact, I don't see how anybody can wear this boot comfortably at all without already having a narrow foot. I usually wear a size 10, and I went all the way up to an 11.5 in my attempt to gain some extra space for my toes. I put them on out of the box in preparation for a walk around the block, but I couldn't even make it out of the house. I was developing hot spots on both pinky toes within minutes. Unless you have a narrow foot, I'd stay away. Too bad, because it looks like a quality product otherwise.

No Comfort Gains and Quality Problems

I bought these Kahas hoping that, like my Hoka Cliftons and Transports, they’d help my turf toe injury (a torn ligament under the ball of my left big toe) . Unfortunately, they didn’t help my turf toe compared to my Salomon hiking boots or the Altra Olympus 5 hiking boots I’ve since tried and liked. Also, some of the stitching holding the leather that the upper inner lace loops are attached to began coming undone after one easy three mile hike. My feet also felt awful in these after a 2-mile hike with a fairly light overnight backpack. I returned them. Also, I’m a woman and bought men’s because I found the toe box very short in the women’s sizes, meaning it was tight top to bottom and squeezing my toes. If I had bought women’s, I would’ve needed a half size larger than my regular 9. I do wear custom orthotics, so I recognize those take up more space in the shoe than regular insoles.

Comfortable well made boot

Well made boot and initially very comfortable. Best inner sole that I have ever tried. I have wide feet and the boot is cut wider then normal but still was not wide enough for my comfort. If you have a narrow foot I would recommend this boot

60 mile review
4 days ago
I wanted to wait after several hikes before adding in my opinion of these hiking boots. After 60 miles of various terrain and conditions these boots are perfect. They remind me of my Speedgoats just with ankle support. I remember reading quite a few “Cinderella and the glass slipper” type of reviews. No hiking boot is going to be perfect and people need to understand that. If you’re looking for a lightweight durable hiking boot this is your pair.
