Thanks to Hoka, gone are the days of overly robust hiking boots with a break-in period akin to medieval torture. The Trail Code GTX Hiking Shoes combine lightweight sneaker-like uppers with strong, intelligently-designed soles that work smarter, not harder. The durable ripstop upper, 100% recycled by the way, is comfortably breathable, secured and padded at the ankle, and has a techy stylishness and Neptunian color palette.
Hoka’s Hubble heel technology features strategic five-millimeter lugs, built to work with your natural gait to redistribute impact and load. You’ll use less energy to slow down and accelerate more powerfully. This also means that the Vibram rubbers won’t take half of the trail home with you, since you’ll be bouncing efficiently through and above the dirt and rocks.
