Customer Reviews Hoka Anacapa Mid GORE-TEX®

I got these a week ago and wanted to put them through the ringer on a 22 mile traverse of the NH Presidential range a.k.a. the Presidential Death March before I wrote a review. These are bar none the most comfortable hiking boot I've ever worn! For years I've been searching for the perfect hiking boot, and I thought I had found it with the speed goat. Don't get me wrong the speed goat is an incredible shoe. But if you want something that can stand up to mile after mile of jagged, pointy granite rocks, tree roots and mud. While still being able to turn it on and run, this is your boot. From stability (the slightlyextended heel provides great braking on the downhills) , to comfort (not one blister in 22 miles), to grip (these grip like velcro to just about anything from wet rocks to mud). The extra leather will definitely make these more durable against the rocks and roots on the trail that shred most other trail runners. If you want a boot that offers the durability and protection that a boot offers, but moves and feels like a trail runner this is it!

I'm a mail carrier and use these up here in South Dakota, my feet stay warm and they have good grip.

I unfortunately had back to back years of reconstructive surgery on my foot . VERY motivated to hike and have comfortable mobility . These hiking shoes our the most comfortable/supportive shoes I've had . Highly recommend them !!!

Very comfortable, very little break in required. Took these on a seven miler right out of the box with no issues. I know Hoka rates these as medium cushioning, but they feel more plush than my Bondi 6. They are much more cushioned than my previous hikers, the adidas terrex free hiker. I usually go a half size down with hoka, and these were consistent with that formula.

Hoka, I love you. I am (or was) suffering from plantar fasciitis in my right foot. These shoes stabilize my ankle and provide such amazing shock absorption that if you suffer from plantar fasciitis, these could be the miracle shoe for you!! My foot has finally found relief. Thanks Hoka!!

I purchased this boot because I needed something comfortable to help prevent my plantar fasciitis from flaring up. I received the boots, broke them in for about a month, and then used them on a backcountry trip with my daughter. We hiked 30+ miles through some very rough and wet terrain. I was very pleased with how these boots held up, and I did not experience any foot pain.

I train law enforcement and military personnel in the Midwest. I'm always looking for a lightweight good fitting shoe for summer tactical training. Our facility is a former quarry with a wide range of surfaces: solid rock, gravel, heavy woods, rocky cliffs and a mine. The stability and traction of the HOKA provides cushion, comfort and support in all areas. So far, the durability has been very good under some rough conditions. My only minor complaint is the blue accents on the desert tan boot...that could prevent them from meeting military standards for those who have flexibility in choosing their gear. They would work equally well for warm weather hiking.

Light weight, stable with excellent cushioning. I wore these on a moderate mountain trail, rocky with 1,000 ft elevation gain in two miles. These boots were comfortable throughout the hike.

Great hiker.. light weight, cushioning ( reminded me of my speed goat), absolutely no break in needed. Like the Hoka speed goat 4 it feel like maybe half a size big. But it wasn't enough for me to return it for a smaller size.

i am enjoy wearing theses boots feel more like sneakers witch is a good thing i would Recommend trying them

After several years and pairs Hoka stopped making wide hikers I loved my wide Gore Tex ; they helped with my back pain and arthritis. I'd hoped these would be a good substitute but they're not the same . So disappointing Hoka has pushed aside us older people with wide flat feet lol . My Gore Tex were as strong as any work boot .

Shoes are super comfy, buttttttt I have worn them a week and the soles are already coming detached. Not sure what to do.

Very comfortable fit and warm size 12 true to size.

Extremely comfortable waterproof hiking boots with trustworthy grip on wet rocks and snow. Great for all seasons. This is my second pair.

Great product I used for walking and working around music festival sites very comfortable

I use these shoes for work. These are my 5th pair of various Hoka shoes. Comfortable and cushiony.

Needed a good comfortable shoe for my job at UPS. It was perfect.

I hope you don't discontinue really nice style
