Cushion. Balanced. Heel to toe drop. 4.00 mm. Weight. 11.50 oz. Our men's hiking and trail shoes range from protective sandals to durable hiking boots. Travel to new peaks with hiking and trail shoes for men from HOKA®.
Even with its higher bed of cushion, the TenNine Hike has a mere 4mm heel-to-toe drop, the same as found in Hoka’s Speedgoat 4 and Speedgoat Mid 2 GTX and other models. That’s somewhat minimal but has always felt good for me, as a hiker and runner who has never found that zero-drop active footwear suit my feet.
The highlight of this Hoka boot is its light weight. The Trail Code GTX comes in at 15.5 oz (440g) which is about 20% lighter than the average weight of our lab-tested hiking boots! On the trail, it feels more like a running shoe with a high-top collar and added protection. Test results. Trail Code GTX.
