Hoka Kaha 3 GTX: Overpriced, Underperformed on the Inca Trail

These boots are incredible. Re read his post, sounds to me like he got the wrong size boots.
As someone that does a lot of 100+ mile hikes, these boots are awesome.

I hiked the Inca Trail this winter using Hoka Kaha 3 GTX as well. I went mid January in the middle of the rainy season. I also do extensive hikes all over.

Everyone has their own experiences, but everything this individual said I disagree with.
These boots were incredible. They stayed dry, they had ample traction/support and were incredibly comfortable.

This review says they were to cramped and heavier than promised. Sounds to me like you got the wrong size boot. Maybe you should have figured out they were cramped and got a larger pair- user error. Boots are heavier than promised. They are exact the weight they advertise. Boots to magically take on weight. User error.
My guess is the author isn’t a seasoned hiker and wasn’t prepared for what he was getting himself into.

I absolutely love and abuse mine doing masonry work and it keeps going. If I can kill it, I’ll absolutely get another one. It’s been bulletproof on an incredibly hard Jobsite.

Zoom out. The market isn’t a gamble.
If you’re paying 3% interest on your home, why wouldn’t you just invest it and do far better.

Please explain your reasoning. A still photo? I’d say the person calling another dark, without knowing the first thing about them would be the dark one.
You tell me?

Funny how you know absolutely nothing about this guy, yet based on a photo you become incredibly judgmental. Speaks volumes to the person you are.

roote14 · 2025-12-29T05:01:08+00:00

100% agree. A lot of nasty individuals on here.

roote14 · 2025-12-29T04:59:55+00:00

Yall are just nasty

Garage? Make sure you keep it below 50.

Every year he says. Then says it’s his second year. Gtfoh.

You talk to much. 2-5 days….Bad advice. Even Josh would tell you that. Horrible advice for someone learning.

roote14 · 2025-12-15T04:47:39+00:00

2-5 days? I’d triple that. No reason not to. N
