- 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.
