The Hoka Hopara is an amphibious hiking shoe built for wet, mixed terrain. Its synthetic and neoprene upper has large cutouts that let water drain out, and the quick-lace system pulls the fit tight in one motion. A rubberized EVA midsole gives the cushioned, stable ride Hoka is known for, and 4mm multidirectional lugs on sticky rubber handle slick rock and loose dirt. It suits hikers, kayakers and travelers who cross water and trail in the same outing; against closed hiking shoes it breathes and drains far better but offers less protection from cold, stones and debris.
