Speed hiker used to be an oxymoron, but that perfectly describes the Toa GORE-TEX. Leveraging HOKA ONE ONE® trail running expertise and innovations, we built a “lightest in class” waterproof hiker for adventures across any terrain. Everything about the Toa GORE-TEX has been evaluated from a functional and weight-saving perspective. From the durable and breathable synthetic upper, to the rubberized foam midsole and the Vibram® Megagrip outsole lugs, all elements are technically solid and efficiently lightweight. And the cushioned running shoe feel is further enhanced by a GORE-TEX waterproof bootie to keep your feet dry and comfortable. The sky’s the limit. - GORE-TEX waterproof bootie keeps your feet comfortable and dry - Technical synthetic upper offers durability, breathability and light weight - Rubberised midsole foam offers durable cushioning and a responsive feel - Features a Vibram® Megagrip hi-traction outsole - Includes multidirectional lugs for supreme grip on varied terrain - 100% Vegan
The brand first made a name for itself in the running industry by producing shoes with oversized soles, dubbed "maximalist" because of the extra cushion, as opposed to the minimalist shoe trend that was gaining popularity when the company was founded in 2009.
The initial goal of the prototype was to improve endurance race times by designing a shoe that would allow for faster downhill running.
Once completed, it was discovered that the shoes were able to improve uphill running as well, helping an athlete tackle 100km in difficult conditions, thus improving the performance of all runners.
