HOKA  Anacapa 2 Low GTX Hiking Shoes - Women's

Purchased these specifically for a 7 day Camino from Portugal to Spain. Walked 8-17 miles a day. Had worn them twice before for 12 milers and then a handful of 5 milers but then saved them for the trip. They were comfortable in the beginning. Unfortunately, the died after my first day hiking at 13 miles. The sole curled up and chaffed all my toes and sides of feet. These ARE NOT MEANT FOR LONG DISTANCE! They didn't hold up at all- thankfully I brought another pair of running shoes that lasted the rest of the trip. Very sorry I purchased them as they didn't hold up at all. Do better HOKA!

My original Anacapa GTX were amazing right out of the box. I don’t remember having any pain or issues with them at all. Because the reviews on the Anacapa 2 GTX were so mixed I waited until my original Anacapa was too worn out to wear before buying this iteration. Huge disappointment. The toe box is narrower than the original, the heel cap left a dent in my foot. I’m going to give them a week of wear and if these issues persist will definitely return. I wish Hoka would stop changing a good shoe….they did the same thing with the Bondi.

Same problem with these as with the new Arahis: they’ve made the footbed too hard. I love last year’s Anacapas; I have multiple pairs and wear them year round. They were the perfect blend of comfort and support. The Anacapa 2 has a firmer footbed, and it’s too hard for my feet. Within a few hours, they brought back my old heel pain. Very disappointed.

I bought these shoes in May...Hiked all over Slovenia and Croatia for 3 weeks. Took them on a two week camping/hiking trip in the PNW - did no less than 10 miles per day. Hiked all over the rocky mountains for the summer in them. Took the same shoes and hiked from Portgugal to Spain on the Camino (165 miles) and they were GREAT. Actually, I didn't wear them out, I wore them down and left them in Spain. Ordering a new pair today and always order 1/2 size larger.

These shoes fit totally different than the Anacapa Breeze. Too long, too wide. I wear a 7.5 in my other Hokas and other brands and these are way larger. Also felt too flexible to be a hiker. Felt more like my running shoes.

I've been searching high and low for a lightweight hiking shoe that offers support/comfort for mileage on mountainous and flat terrain. This Hoka felt supportive, cushiony and not stiff--I really dislike an overly stiff hiking shoe. Purchased my usual size, women's 10 wide, but these were like clown shoes on me in both width and length with too much extra room. Had to return and will resume my search for my December trek through Death Valley.

Purchased for cruise to Alaska with on shore touring at coastal towns. Waterproof shoes were recommended and I searched for some that would be comfortable. Since I know my size in Hoka Clifton 9 and Clifton 10, I ordered the same size in this shoe. It runs a little bit larger, but still fits well. Really pretty color also. Waterproof comfortable walking shoes in wide with are not readily available so I was really glad to find these.

These are the worst hiking shoes ever. The seams where the tongue meets the back wrap dig into your feet. It's almost impossible to mitigate shearing. The inner soles are not substantial enough.

Fit was big and clunky. I have HOKAS now but in the same size as I always get my feet moved in the shoes.
