HOKA ONE ONE SKY TOA GTX £160

Fusing the technicality of a premium trail running shoe with a touch of urban flair, the cool-looking Sky Toa boots are unbelievably comfortable, exceptionally lightweight and designed for ‘speed hiking’. A rubberised foam midsole with rocker geometry provides a dynamic rebound and smooth roll for each new step – helping you to move athletically and agilely through the mountains.

VERDICT An ultra-light, trainer-like boot with excellent cushioning.
