Waterproof but not cushioned
I've been wearing HOKAs for 3 years now and have settled on Bondi 8. Basically that's all I wear all the time due to a heel spur and HOKA Bondi 8 saved my life. But in very wet conditions for golf they are terrible. No grip and soaked. I was excited for the KAHA 2 low GTX since they said Plush and waterproof. They are very waterproof - played two rounds in very wet weather and my feet were DRY. They have great grip in muddy, sloppy, wet turf. But they are NOT plush (at least like the Bondi 7 or Bondi 8). To me they dont feel that different from regular waterproof golf shoes honestly. And they are a little stiff - at least at first. Lastly, they are bigger than the Bondi 8 fit-wise. Perhaps to accomodate for thicker socks usually worn for hiking or trail running. Sure wish they made a GTX version of the Bondi 8.

Solid Shoe....But
These shoes fit closer to true size. I've had a few pairs of Hokas and the running shoes seem to run small to size. This particular shoe feels pretty good, but after being in them for a couple of hours I noticed the outside of my feet hurting. There seems to be a lump, for lack of a better word, on the insole. I will continue to where these shoes as needed but will be paying close attention to that particular part of the shoe.

I would Not buy this product again.
Everyday walking. Sole is not comfortable and size is too small.

OKAY BUT NOT GREAT
Not nearly as comfortable as my other Hokas. It does not lace up well; it is hard to tighten on the lower portion of the foot. It is the correct size - same as my other Hokas - but seems loose side-to-side, which I attribute to the lacing issue.

I decent walking shoe
This shoe seems to have more room in the toe area, which is nice. As a caddie, these have kept my feet dry the three times I was out caddying in the morning dew. The laces are weak, their fat and come untied easily. Once again I had to replace them with Lock Laces.

Great shoe!!
I love these shoes! My toes are sensitive and I hate when shoes cramp my toes together. These shoes have a wide toe area, perfect for my feet. Try them out! If you don't like them you can return them for free. I bet you'll love them too.

Great hiking shoe, with one major flaw
I decided to purchase these shoes for hiking after wearing another brand for the last 5 years. I wear a 12 but all the reviews said they run large so I ordered a 11.5. I wore them walking a few times to break them in and they felt fine. I recently returned home from backpacking 5 days in Wyoming and 3 days of summiting 14er's in Colorado. The shoes were great as I put them through all types of terrain and weather. The hubble heel with the swallowtail provided great stability on the ankles for a lowcut shoe. The cushioning helped absorb all the impact walking, climbing, and especially descending on rocks. My knees thank you. The gtx waterproofing worked as it should in the light rain we encountered and in the 2-3 inches of unexpected snow that dumped on us. My socks were completely dry (with rain pants) after 12 miles in fresh and melted snow. I was the only one with dry feet! The flaw. I usually get a blister on a heel or sometimes both while backpacking for days but this time I got it in a new spot. I was relieved that I didn't get it in the same spot on the heel/achilles area because it becomes somewhat painful to hike with over time. After 10 miles on day 1 a blister started up on the inside of both feet between my heels and arches. Ive never had a blister in this spot before. I inspected the inside of the shoes and found that there is a hard piece of material under the mesh lining that wraps around the back of the shoe where the bird and Hoka logo are printed. Inside the shoe, the lip of the hard material protrudes and rubs right where my blisters formed even through my stance socks. I threw some KT tape over them to help diminish the rubbing for the remainder of the trip. I now have one very large fluid filled blister, because the other popped, that I am currently attending too. Besides this flaw, which can be fixable, the shoe held up great as i put just over 70 miles on them. If I didnt get blisters in this odd spot, I would give a 5 star
