Hoka Waterproof Footwear
Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy waterproof Hoka footwear in Ireland?
Waterproof Hoka shoes and boots are available online at 53 Degrees North with delivery across Ireland, and by free Click and Collect from our stores.
What does GORE-TEX do in a shoe?
GORE-TEX is a waterproof, breathable membrane built into the shoe. It stops rain, puddles and wet grass getting in while still letting sweat vapour escape, so your feet stay drier without overheating.
Is a waterproof shoe worth it for Irish weather?
For most of the year, yes. A GORE-TEX shoe keeps feet dry through the wet grass, mud and showers that come with walking and running here. In very warm weather or very deep, sustained wet, some people prefer a non-waterproof shoe that drains and dries faster.
How do I look after waterproof shoes?
Brush off mud, let them dry naturally away from direct heat, and refresh the outer with a spray-on waterproofing treatment when water stops beading. Clean uppers help the GORE-TEX membrane keep working.
