Like hiking on a cloud
Amazing design with both support and extreme comfort. They are actually water proof, tested them in some streams. These are even more comfortable than my running shoes which are preferred over stiff hiking boots. They run true to size with room for thick socks. I bought a .5 size up and had too much room.

Nope.
These boots are made for Barbie when she goes on hikes. Sorry HOKA. Thin boot that will get eaten alive by any self-respected trail. I'm a forester by trade in northern CA so I know what I'm talking about when it comes to boots that work, or not. Lugs are felt through the thin "boot" material. Ouch. No thanks, I took them back and got my $182 (after tax) refund. What a joke.

Comfort is Great, Craftsmanship Not So Much

3 years ago

I took my new Hoka One Anacapa Hiking Boots with me for a few days to the Oregon Coast. To my surprise, they were waterproof as stated and the comfort was exceptional. I could wear these boots for 8 hours and they felt as good as when I put them on. Unfortunately, on day 3, the upper two eye hooks on my left boot popped out from the shoe and left me stranded without a pair of hiking boots. I was able to limp back to my camp, but had no boots for the remainder of my trip.

Most Comfortable Hiking Boot I've Ever Tried...

2 years ago

Bought these when they were on sale recently for half price. Have used them twice for snowshoeing in about 6" of new wet snow. Fit is just what I've come to expect from Hoka: true to size and comfortable all around right out of the box. Being a Gore Tex boot, my feet stayed dry in wet snow. There is a well padded notch to accommodate your Achilles tendon without irritation. The outcome has an aggressive tread pattern featuring Vibram carbon rubber that should provide great traction and wear. The laces are heavy duty and the upper 3 sets of eyelets are heavy duty plastic. Unlike conventional hiking boots, these provide a good deal of flexibility and don't require much in the way of a break in period. Cushioning is what I've come to expect from Hoka: plush and forgiving. Weight is closer to that of a running shoe than a hiking boot, and as such are comfortable enough to be worn casually. Plus, it looks great and is available in a wide range of colors. I highly recommend them for day hiking as well as snowshoeing...

Better Fitting HOKAs than Heel-Killing Kahas

2 years ago

Getting my Asolos re-soled. These are my backups. Tried HOKA Sky Kaha but switched to these Anacapas due to their narrower insole and heel cup. Still wide enough in the toe box but without the heel cup issue that caused my heel to rise out no matter how I tied the Kahas. These Anacapas are light, feel great out of the box and have enough cushioning for the 5-10 mile hikes they see often. Standard size 12 mens. Give my ankles enough support for heavier backpack days. Were waterproof as advertised in streams over the toe-box. We'll see how they last given other reviews for HOKA.

difficult to get the correct size.

3 years ago

I bought these shoes a month ago originally ordering a size 10.5 and to much dismay they fit extremely big and since i used them for climbing truss and towers It would not have been ideal. I took them to REI and exchanged them for a size 10, think since the 10.5 were way to big( almost 3 fingers in the heel big) that the 10’s would be perfect. They were not, the fit way to tight. I thought maybe they would get stretched out with a few days breaking them in. They didn’t and my feet began to go numb. The soles felt extremely soft and I was so excited to wear them but unfortunately they have gone to waste.

**Mixed thoughts on these....

2 years ago

The Good: Fit like a glove, super comfortable, great grip, ultralight. Was pure love right off the bat. Like walking on a cloud. The Bummer: 1) Bottom soles wore super fast simple terrain [soft dirt trail and pavement]. Very noticeable wear after <1 month. [<50miles] 2) recently wore 5 miles in the rain and feet completely SOAKED. I don't believe the GTX in these and...3) the tops coming away from the seams. Would not recommend. Crazy to drop $185 on these to have this happen.

Very disappointed

3 years ago

They are NOT waterproof. I just came back from a hike with my socks soaking wet. It is not true that they are Goretex or waterproof. I really wish I hadn't buy these and would love to get my money back, as much as I want to like them. Definitely not worth what I paid for. The sole is good but that's about it. The shoelace eyelets are carving into my ankle bone and the top of my feet. It is painful. Very uncomfortable to wear, I thought maybe I'll give them a chance, brake them in. But no, they are just poorly made. And again, I am truly upset and disappointed that these shoes are not waterproof as advertised, since that is a main reason why I got them. I do not recommend buying them

After 5 different parks

2 years ago

I bought two pairs for my girlfriend and I before our trip to Joshua Tree and Grand Canyon. We hiked about 14 miles at Joshua Tree on some rugged trails and about 10 on the paved pathways of Grand Canyon. The boots definitely took damage the first 10 miles at Joshua Tree with some of the exterior ripping up and the sole having some damage with rubber torn up. We recently went to Big Bend and hiked on the window trail, about 10 miles total and the sole is damaged but is still holding up a bit. Overall, I think they’re worth the price you pay. I may go with a Salomon if you hike rugged trails and need durability, but these are comfortable, good for everyday wear, and will hold up decently well.

Camino proven

2 years ago

Just completed the El Camino Frances (480 miles) in northern Spain. I wore these boots every day and can’t say enough positive things about them. I have had both knees and ankles operated on and was in need of both support and cushioning. This boot met both of these requirements and more. After day 4 my feet felt more comfortable in the boot than outside them. I did use a different insert than the one provided but these boots performed incredibly on all surfaces I walked on. Spent one day in pelting rain for 6 hours and they got a little wet on the inside but dried up perfectly overnight.

excellent light boots

3 years ago

I have some foot pain and these boots are very helpful, with good cushion compared to "normal" boots. The traction is excellent even on wet rock and inadvertent stream tests (haha) show that my pair is completely waterproof right up to the ankle. I have hiked with them for about 100 miles, much of that on steep rocky trails, and so far all parts are holding up well. Lacing is a little finicky for adequate forefoot clamp for steep downhill, but with a bit of care it works fine. Ankle support is soft, so don't get these is that matters for you.

So far, so good

3 years ago

I bought these primarily for hunting upland game in tough mountain/desert conditions. So far, so good. They are super light and were broken in right out of the box. The grip is awesome and they are very comfortable. I haven't gotten them wet yet but I'm assuming they'll be waterproof as advertised. My only minor concern is that they got pretty scuffed up on the material just behind the rubber toe protector. No damage or anything, but it made me realize that there is a tradeoff between comfort/weight and durability.
