Comfort with a Conscience: HOKA’s Infini Hike TC Elevates Sustainable Footwear

HOKA has taken another step toward responsible innovation with the launch of the Infini Hike TC hiking sandal, crafted with ARIAPRENE® TERRA—a high-performance material that underscores the brand’s ongoing commitment to sustainability. Seamlessly merging eco-conscious design with comfort and durability, this collaboration serves as a compelling example of how performance, style, and environmental values can align.

The ARIAPRENE® TERRA fabric used in the sandal’s upper delivers lightweight, targeted support, reducing pressure on the foot during extended hikes or walks. Its adaptive fit minimizes discomfort and skin irritation while promoting breathability, making it ideal for varied terrain—whether forest trails or city parks. The smooth, flexible material moves with the foot, offering a second-skin feel that enhances overall comfort.

But the innovation doesn’t stop at comfort. ARIAPRENE® TERRA represents a closed-loop recycling solution made with a solvent-free lamination process. It complies with most brand-restricted substance lists, significantly reducing harmful chemical use in manufacturing. This eco-conscious approach supports lower environmental impact, giving outdoor enthusiasts a more responsible choice without compromising performance.

Designed for the Outdoors—and the Future

By incorporating ARIAPRENE® TERRA, HOKA’s Infini Hike TC offers a fresh perspective on sustainable design. The fabric’s elasticity ensures a snug, natural fit, while its quick-drying and breathable qualities keep feet cool and fresh in unpredictable conditions.

Modern outdoor gear must meet high standards—not just in performance, but in environmental responsibility. HOKA’s collaboration with ARIAPRENE® TERRA sets a new benchmark for conscious innovation in performance footwear, proving that sustainability and high performance can co-exist.
