HOKA TenNine Hike GTX

Part hovercraft and part hiking boot, the TenNine Hike GTX offers peak cushioning, durability and traction with an extended HUBBLE® heel geometry. Engineered for an exceptionally smooth ride, this bold, new profile creates an efficient heel-to-toe transition. Thoughtfully designed through the lens of sustainability, the TenNine Hike utilizes a unique GORE-TEX footwear fabric with recycled textile, as well as recycled polyester through the collar, laces, heel pull and vamp webbing. Surprisingly smooth and exceptionally cushioned, this long-distance hiker employs Vibram® Megagrip with Litebase construction in an outsole compound that reduces weight without reducing durability. Go ahead, hike forever. * Waterproof materials * Ripstop textile * Metal lacing hardware * Abrasion rubber toecap * 100% RPET lining textile mesh * GORE-TEX bootie construction with 71% recycled polyester face fabric * Waterproof membrane bootie construction * Hubble® Heel and SwallowTail™ HOKA geometry * Proprietary, new compression molded EVA foam midsole provides stable footing and absorbs impact points * Vibram® Megagrip outsole with Litebase construction * 5mm Lugs * RN 88276 Worn once for a May hike in the Adirondacks (Porter/Cascade), unfortunately they are a size too big for me, but even then they were the most comfortable hiking boot I have ever worn.
