How To Measure: Trace the outline of each foot on a piece of paper. In a straight line from the middle of the heel to the longest toe, measure the length of each foot. If one foot is longer than the other, take the larger measurement and compare to the chart. Foot length will determine your shoe size - round up or down to the closest size within 2mm. Women's wide-width styles are labeled 'D Width'.

Questions, answered

Before you buy.

Pulled from chats, emails and store visits. The things people actually ask us before they buy. Don't see yours?

Ask a question
Is the Kaha 3 GTX waterproof?

Yes. The Kaha 3 GTX pairs a laminated GORE-TEX Invisible Fit bootie with LWG Gold-Rated waterproof nubuck leather, so it seals out rain, mud, and stream crossings while staying breathable.

Does it run true to size?

Yes, the Kaha 3 GTX fits true to size for most hikers and comes in a women's standard B width. If you wear thick hiking socks or custom orthotics, consider sizing up a half size for added room.

Can it carry a heavy pack on multi-day trips?

Yes. The Kaha 3 GTX is built as a long-haul day-hike and multi-day backpacking boot, with a supportive dual-density midsole, a stabilizing Hubble Heel, and a grippy Vibram Megagrip outsole that handle heavy loads.
