Take on long hikes and multi-day adventures with confidence in the HOKA Men’s Kaha 3 GTX. HOKA’s first mid-cut hiker with GORE-TEX Invisible Fit, the Kaha 3 is more cushioned and durable than ever, built to reduce foot fatigue on long days while delivering reliable traction on every kind of terrain. In a sleek Black/Black colorway, it looks just as sharp around town as it does on the trail.
The upper is built from waterproof nubuck leather certified Gold-rated by the Leather Working Group, paired with GORE-TEX Invisible Fit for breathable, lightweight waterproof protection without extra bulk. A durable toe cap protects your feet on steep descents and rocky trails, and an Achilles-friendly heel collar helps relieve pressure and keep out debris. Quick-lace metal top hooks make it easy to lock in a secure fit.
Underfoot, a dual-density midsole made with sugarcane-based EVA delivers HOKA’s signature cushioning with more bounce than the previous version. A Hubble Heel and SwallowTail design work with MetaRocker geometry and integrated flex grooves for smooth, stable strides, while a one-piece Vibram Megagrip outsole with Traction Lug technology and 4mm lugs grips confidently on loose and uneven ground.
