Description

Field Notes: Tested on long, flat trails and steep canyon walls with rapid elevation gain (including one trail that boasted 1400 vertical feet in 2 miles), the Tor Summit was preferred by testers on the flats due to its rockered sole. 

Pros: Testers loved the fit and feel from the jump, noting that hikers with long, skinny feet (instead of wide arches) appreciate the Nubuck and Suede Hoka body. The weight of the shoe earned top marks as did the rockered sole for miles on flat and rolling terrain. As with the Ultra Hi, the Tor Summit boasts superior grip thanks to the Vibram MegaGrip Hi-Traction Outsole. 

Cons: Some testers weren’t crazy about the Meta-Rocker sole’s comfort when scrambling up a stone staircase trail as compared to the Salomon Ultra Mid. Testers questioned the Tor’s breathability, as it yielded sweaty socks on desert treks. 

Favorite Feature: It’s a tough call with the 13.5oz Tor, as testers couldn’t pick between the unbeatable traction and the light overall weight. Another contending feature: the luxuriously cushy midsole.

Tester Quote: “Some of the other testers love the rockered sole on the rolling terrain but I felt unstable on the rocks. The boot’s weight was attractive as is the grip, fit, and overall build. I would definitely buy this boot with reduced ratings on extremely rocky terrain.”

Bottom line: An excellent, lightweight hiking boot for those who appreciate the Hoka One One rockered soles.
