FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology, which makes them waterproof while remaining flexible and lightweight.
Can I use these for trail running?
While designed for hiking, their lightweight build makes them suitable for fast-paced trail walking, though they are not specifically engineered as trail running shoes.
How do I choose the right size?
The Anacapa 2 generally fits true to size. It is recommended to have a thumb's width of space at the front to account for foot swelling during long hikes.
Is the outsole suitable for rocky terrain?
Yes, the Vibram Megagrip outsole is designed specifically for high-friction environments, including rocky and uneven surfaces.
What is the primary material in the midsole?
The midsole is made using 30% sugarcane-based EVA, which aligns with HOKA's commitment to using more sustainable components.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel damp inside despite GORE-TEX
Ensure your socks are moisture-wicking and not made of cotton. If water enters over the ankle collar, the membrane may trap it, so ensure a tight lace fit.
Slipping on loose gravel
Check if the outsole tread is clogged with mud; clean with a brush to expose the Vibram lugs, which rely on clean contact to provide maximum friction.
Laces coming loose
Use a double knot or a heel-lock lacing technique to ensure the fit remains secure throughout your hike.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before heading out, ensure you have broken in the shoes on shorter walks to allow the midsole to adapt to your foot strike. These shoes are compatible with standard aftermarket insoles if you require specific arch support. To maintain the GORE-TEX integrity, avoid machine washing; instead, clean the exterior with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the adhesive and structural materials. Regularly check the metal eyelets for debris to ensure laces move freely.
