Nice boots, with a pleasing visual design and easy weight on the feet, but not built for backcountry backpacking or the rocks of the White Mts of NH. Also, don’t “size up” as some buyers suggest. I normally wear a 9.5W and I sized up to a 10 and was swimming in them and had to return them
I bought them for work. I have had a pair of them before. I have started buying hoka work boots in all black because it's so hard to find a good, comfortable tactical boot. Most tactical boots sell off of name brand, so over the years, they just keep getting worse because the name sells them. i convinced my co-workers to try HOKA. We love them. this is the more expensive all black hiking boot that they offer and the first pair I ever bought. but I couldn't find them again til this year. I will have to say they fit differently. still comfortable but fit a little small compared to their other boots. so size up a full size of your normal to get a good fit. I normally wear a 10 to get that half size up, but I would need to go up to a 10.5 to get the best fit for me. hoka makes a great all black hiking/tactical boot. HOKA, please keep an all black boot in your retail options. We love them!
I bought these then Hiked 27 miles over a few days in Tennessee. The terrain was rocky, and I was impressed with how the soles held up. The boots are extremely comfortable. I am a heel striker and the recessed/extended heel made an obvious difference in heel discomfort. Since returning I have been jogging two miles
Comfortable boot from the first. Good waterproofing. Sole does not last long. I walk about 200 miles per month on urban surfaces and can get only 6-8 weeks of wear. I would probably not wear this boot for backpacking or wilderness trails--not enough support.
