Bob & I have a HOKA problem.

Our new Hoka hiking boots arrived today. Add these 2 pairs to the Hokas I'm wearing and my other 4 pairs in the closet. If you think I have too many Hokas... Bob has 9 pairs in addition to his new arrival today. In our defense...these Hokas are 3/4 ankle boots & water proof (our other Hokas are low mesh trail shoes). We will need these sturdier Hokas for hiking Kilimanjaro in October. We start our 8 day trek on 10/22 to the highest peak in Africa (19,341 ft)! 

More explanation to our 14 pairs of Hokas: We LOVE them for our daily walks, trail runs and 14er hiking. 2 years ago they changed the shoe model we liked so when Bob sees the old model in our size on E-bay...he buys them. :-) I hate it when shoes change when they were perfect before. Now we need to break in our new HOKAS.

  2. haha...we need it! Bob said he has 2 pairs that should be thrown out since they are worn out. I have a couple that our pretty worn out too. Just hard to toss them as I still wear them some. :-)

    1. Hey Marlayna- we did talk to Luci-Jo in our early stages of planning. Pat had remembered that she had been there. We're excited for the trip.
