Buying Advice

How to Choose Hiking Boots

How long will you be on the trail?

  • Hiking shoes: day hikes or ultralight backpacking
  • Hiking boots: multi-day treks with heavier loads

What upper is right for you?

  • Leather: water- and abrasion-resistant, durable
  • Synthetic: lightweight, break in easily, dry faster

Look at the lugs

  • Deep, thick lugs improve grip
  • Wider lug spaces sheds mud and offer good traction


Check crampon compatibility
Mountaineering and winter hiking may call for crampons. Narrow your search for boots with crampon compatibility.

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!

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

3 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.

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.

To tight around the toes

1 month 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.

Best Boots

3 days ago

These are best hiking boots I have ever worn. The amount of cushion in the soles is great. I usually have knee issues; however, these mitigated that problem. These likely aren't the best option for warmer weather; however, I have used them hiking through snow on an extremely cold day and I kept warm.
