Product Information

Full details

The HOKA ONE ONE Anacapa Low Gore-Tex hiking shoes in Black are designed for adult adventurers seeking a blend of style and function for outdoor excursions. Their key benefit is providing waterproof protection and comfortable flexibility thanks to the Gore-Tex upper and lower-cut design. A potential caveat is that while offering flexibility, they may not provide the same level of ankle support as higher-cut boots.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for backpacking?

While these shoes offer good comfort and waterproofing for day hikes and lighter loads, they are a low-cut design. For multi-day backpacking trips with heavy loads, a higher-cut hiking boot might offer more ankle support and stability.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure and not lift excessively when walking. Trying them on with your usual hiking socks is recommended.

Can I wear these in warm weather?

The Gore-Tex membrane provides waterproofing, which can sometimes reduce breathability in very hot conditions. While generally comfortable, they may feel warmer than non-waterproof shoes in extreme heat.

What is the main advantage of the low-cut design?

The low-cut design offers greater ankle flexibility and freedom of movement, making them feel lighter and more agile on varied terrain compared to higher-cut boots.

How often should I clean my hiking shoes?

It's best to clean your shoes after each significant hike, especially if they've been exposed to mud or dirt, to maintain their condition and performance.

What is the UK size for this specific product?

The specific product listed is UK size 12.

Are these shoes slip-on?

No, these are traditional lace-up hiking shoes that require lacing up for a secure fit.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite the Gore-Tex lining

Ensure the shoe laces are tied securely to prevent water from entering the ankle opening. Check for any damage to the Gore-Tex membrane or seams. If the shoes are constantly submerged, water may eventually penetrate.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable

Most hiking shoes require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks.

Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces

The outsole is designed for a balance of grip and durability. For extremely slippery or icy conditions, consider using additional traction devices or specialized footwear.

Difficulty removing the shoes

Loosen the laces thoroughly before attempting to remove the shoes. Ensure the sock material is not snagging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

Designed for adult use, these hiking shoes are suitable for a range of outdoor activities including day hiking, trail walking, and general outdoor exploration. They are compatible with various types of outdoor clothing.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
  • Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, you may consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for Gore-Tex footwear to maintain optimal water repellency.
