These Hoka Snow Boots Are Comfy Sneakers in Disguise-and Travelers Say They Keep Feet Warm in Negative Temps

"The fan-favorite sneaker brand has a line of hiking boots and snow shoes that it makes with special insulated weatherproofing. Hoka loyalists have worn them in a range of conditions on trails around the world, from wintery hikes in the Grand Canyon to slushy treks in Iceland. And if they can get you across steep and slippery terrain like that, you can be confident they're also suitable for frozen urban sidewalks."

"The Hoka Kaha 2 Frost GTX is rated for -25 degrees Fahrenheit and has a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane to keep your toes dry, no matter the condition. The boots are flat out made for winter, with five-millimeter traction lugs to handle slippery surfaces and incredible warmth: these shoes are insulated and have a thermal aluminium reflective foil in the bottom of the sockliners to trap heat in."

Hoka produces insulated, weatherproof hiking and snow boots designed for winter conditions, exemplified by the Kaha 2 Frost GTX rated to -25°F. The boots include a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane, five-millimeter traction lugs, thermal aluminium reflective foil in the sockliners, and widened heel pull tabs for gloved entry. The upper uses durable recycled polyester mesh and a Vibram Megagrip EVA sole to maximize grip on slick surfaces. Insulation and reflective sockliners retain heat while waterproofing keeps feet dry. Reviewers report excellent traction in snow and slush, comfortable cushioning similar to Hoka sneakers, and overall reliable winter performance.
