What owners single out
In their words
“I really love these shoes, both in terms of comfort and color matching. Even on rainy days, I don't have to worry about them. The comfortable thick sole makes it easy to walk for a long distance or go shopping, making the whole day easy and not tiring.”

“I have had these shoes for 4 months. they are sturdy and prevent the typical toe-holes from forming because they have a rigid front part of the shoe. That being said, i have owned the TenNine Hike GTX. it has a similar build. i cannot recommend the kaha 2 low GTX. I picked this because of the color and strong build. They are not comfortable and pinch my feet on the right side. I read reviews that ”
