  • Our take on the Hoka Kaha 3 GTX M

    The Kaha 3 GTX is Hoka's waterproof leather hiking boot, built on a thick EVA foam midsole with an 8 mm drop and a Vibram-style rubber outsole. It pairs a Gore-Tex membrane with nubuck and leather, so it handles wet trails and cold mornings, and the rocker geometry keeps the ride smooth on long days. At about 20 oz per boot it is heavy for a day hiker, and the plush cushioning trades ground feel for comfort. Rivals like the Salomon Quest and Merrell Moab are lighter and more precise on technical ground; the Kaha 3 leans toward hikers who want max cushion and weather protection over agility.

    Questions and answers

    Is the Kaha 3 GTX good for backpacking?
    Yes. The stiff leather upper, 8 mm drop and thick cushioning support a loaded pack on long days. The trade-off is weight on steep climbs.
    How does it compare with the Kaha 2?
    The Kaha 3 keeps the same cushioned, waterproof formula with a refined upper and outsole. It is still a heavy, comfort-first boot rather than a fast hiker.
    Does it run true to size?
    Most owners say it fits true to size, but the boot runs narrow. If you have wide feet, size up or look for the wide option.
    Is it really waterproof?
    Yes. The Gore-Tex membrane and leather upper keep water out in rain and shallow stream crossings. Water can still enter over the cuff in deep water.
    How much does it weigh?
    About 20 oz per boot in a men's size 9. That is heavy for a hiking shoe but normal for a leather backpacking boot.
    What is in the box?
    One pair of boots with the factory Ortholite insole. No spare laces or gaiters are included.
    Where is the Hoka Kaha 3 GTX M cheapest?
    At Zappos, for $239.95, as of our latest check.
