In their original version, these HOKA ONE ONE ONE Kaha Low Gore-Tex already surprised by that studied combination of style and performance to adapt to the most demanding routes of any hiker that comes along. But there is already a new version, which comes with the same materials and geometries, but with a lower profile at the ankle height. That's why we at RUNNEA are talking about the new HOKA ONE ONE Kaha Low Gore-Tex.

With this model of the HOKA ONE ONE ONE Kaha Low Gore-Tex, the renowned American brand seeks to consolidate its meteoric and successful legacy of asphalt and mountain, but without forgetting the lovers of outodoor outings, practicing hiking at the highest level. As a good trekking shoe, these Kaha Low Gore-Tex prioritize relevant aspects such as support and durability, and to a lesser extent its rebound capacity.

Not surprisingly, the translation of its name from the Maori language means "strength and support". That is why this Low version of the Kaha from HOKA ONE ONE ONE is able to ensure these two parameters, and allow you to adapt with all the guarantees to stretches of ascents and descents.

What's new in the HOKA ONE ONE ONE Kaha Low Gore-Tex?

Except for that lower ankle profile, little else. But not including so many new features doesn't mean that this model won't provide you with the performance you need for your hikes, even short distance ones. You will even be able to do them in less time, because we are talking about a rather light trekking shoe.

Midsole, upper and outsole are identical and unchanged from the first version of this model, but in the more detailed analysis of these Kaha Low Gore-Tex, the points that unbalance the balance in its favor are clearly: stability and cushioning. Because this HOKA ONE ONE model features:

  • A symmetrical cushioning base that provides the necessary support without adding additional technologies to that effect.
  • The cushioning base is higher, and consequently the design favors softer impacts.

That is, this hiking-optimized shoe includes a double layer of foam. The top layer, made of EVA material, ensures that soft, plush cushioning to wrap the foot more comfortably. While the bottom layer makes the shoe more stable and durable.
