Hoka Hopara 2 Women's Walking Sandals

Equally at home by land or water, the Hopara 2 tackles mud, dirt and rocks with the same amphibian-like ease. Reconceived with earth-conscious materials, Hoka has implemented a 30% sugarcane topsole and midsole, 100% recycled knit upper and 100% recycled Cordura mesh overlays to allow for water drainage while keeping trail debris at bay.

Knitted Upper

The upper of the Hoka Hopara 2 has been created with a knitted upper that has been treated with a water-repellent coating providing protection when the weather changes. The knitted fabric is soft against the skin reducing the risk of chafing and irritation for a comfortable feel all day. Not only this but the fabric allows air to flow and simultaneously releases hot, muggy air keeping your feet cool and comfortable. To increase the durability of the sandals Hoka has used Cordura mesh and ripstop overlays, the fabrics are highly abrasion resistant, keeping the sandals in top condition longer, for a long-lasting pair of footwear. A rubber toecap protects against bumps, scrapes and trail debris, so you can continue your adventure safely. Finishing the upper of these Hopara Walking Sandals and providing a secure fit is an adjustable heel strap which holds the heel in place whilst a toggle lacing system locks down the midfoot for reduced movement.

EVA Midsole

The Hopara 2 Walking Sandals have been created with an EVA foam that has been partly made with 30% sugarcane. The combination of the two materials enhances the durability of the sandal, whilst providing a softer feel than the previous model. The sandals also feature a topsole layer which has also been made with sugarcane for a soft underfoot feel. The Hoka-specific feature Meta-Rocker Geometry also features in the midsole. This technology was specifically designed with a low heel-to-toe differential and sculpted outsole in the heel and toe which creates a unique fulcrum effect, like a rocking chair for your foot, encouraging a guided gait cycle.

Sticky Rubber Outsole

These Hoka Sandals feature a sticky and durable outsole that ensures grip on multiple surfaces even when wet. Multi-directional lugs offer excellent traction on multiple surfaces whilst the broad lug pattern enhances grip in wet conditions. Grooves on the outsole allow the foot to flex more naturally providing a better feel when walking over uneven terrain.
