The Competition. Price notwithstanding, we absolutely love these boots—they have a solid spot in our quiver for anything fast and light, and a place among our favorite hiking boots. $210 is a lot given the thinner construction, putting them is close contention with burly boots like the Salomon Quest 4D 2 GTX (see our in-depth review) or even Lowa’s own Renegade GTX.
That way, if your shoes get very wet and it's cold, you can take off the old pair, dry your feet, and then put on the WP socks and put your feet straight back in the wet shoes toasty and dry. Tldr: yes absolutely wear trail runners. Interesting input. In low alpine conditions (2000m - 4000m) in Taiwan.
HOKA’s secret to innovation is steady, incremental improvements over time. Like with its predecessor, the first thing I noticed about the Speedgoat 3 was the support-to-weight ratio.
For trail shoes and hiking from HOKA I have: Tecton X (favorite fast trail and trail to road) Zinal (I use as just a general walking around sneaker, coolest looking HOKA) Speedgoat 5 (for the long miles) Speedgoat 4 GTX (just a sneaker for when it’s raining) Speedgoat EVO 3 (my first trail racing shoe!
I'm always a 9.5 in my Nike Zoom Vomero's and pretty much any other running shoe I've tried (majority of time a 9 street shoe, sometimes a 9.5). In this Hoku I needed the 9. I'm a neutral foot and was looking for a running shoe that could serve dual purpose for an upcoming hiking shoe in the mountains.
Waterproof: Yes. Colors available: 4. Tipping the scales at just 13.3 ounces per shoe, the Vasque Breeze LT Low GTX hiking shoes are astoundingly lightweight. Weighing less than typical sneakers, attributes like the mesh fabric and Vibram LiteBase outsoles shed weight without compromising comfort or grip.
