HOKA Tor Summit Shoes in Light Roast/Putty - Our FAQs

1. How does the Tor Summit differ from a standard HOKA running shoe?
   While it retains the signature cushioning, the Tor Summit is built with a lifestyle focus, using heavier-duty materials like nubuck leather and metal hardware that are better suited for daily wear and hiking rather than intensive road running.

2. Is the Vibram Megagrip suitable for city pavements?
   Absolutely. While it is designed for maximum traction on trails, the Megagrip compound is highly durable and provides excellent security on wet city streets and slippery surfaces.

3. What is the benefit of zig-zag stitching?
   Beyond being a distinctive design detail on the heel and tongue webbing, the zig-zag stitch provides a flexible, reinforced bond that handles the tension of active movement better than a standard straight seam.

Cost Per Wear - A Rough Guide

HOKA products are engineered to high performance standards, and the use of premium nubuck and Vibram rubber ensures this model is built for the long term. Given the robust construction, we estimate a realistic lifespan of at least 500 wears for a pair used as a regular staple.

• Retail Price: £160.00
• Estimated Wears: 500
• Cost Per Wear: £0.32

Our CPW calculation is purely speculative and based on a loose idea of expected use over its lifetime. If you really give the item some prolonged, hard, regular wear then the numbers are likely to change.
