FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology to keep water out while remaining breathable.
Can I use these for long-distance backpacking?
They are designed for hiking; however, consider your need for ankle support, as these are a low-cut model.
How should I clean my HOKA Anacapa 2 shoes?
Hand wash with cold water and a mild soap. Do not machine wash or use harsh chemicals.
Does the sugarcane midsole feel different from standard EVA?
It provides a similar lightweight, cushioned feel consistent with HOKA's signature ride, with the added benefit of being more sustainable.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Anacapa 2 is designed with a standard fit; if you have very wide feet, you may want to try them on to ensure proper arch and forefoot alignment.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking into the shoe
Ensure the laces are tightened correctly to secure the tongue and check that the GORE-TEX inner liner is not punctured by debris inside the shoe.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole lugs to remove packed mud or debris that can interfere with the Vibram rubber's contact with the ground.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure the laces are threaded through the metal eyelets securely to lock in the heel. Because these shoes use high-quality mesh and synthetic materials, they do not require a long break-in period. To maintain the shoes, wipe off excess mud with a damp cloth after each hike and allow them to air dry in a well-ventilated area—never place them in a clothes dryer or near direct heat sources, as this can degrade the midsole cushioning and the GORE-TEX membrane.
