Hoka's Anacapa 2 Mid GTX Hiking Boots are finally on sale at REI for $136—a rare 30% discount on the normal $195 price. These ankle-height hiking boots own over 50 five-star ratings from REI shoppers who say they're "better than the Speedgoats" and feel like "walking on clouds," much like the brand's running shoes . They're only available in one color, but all sizes from 8 to 13 are still in stock, though we're anticipating them to start selling out soon.
Hoka Anacapa 2 Mid GTX Hiking Boots in Outer Space/Grey, $136 (was $195) at REI
This super-lightweight Hoka hiking boot hits just above the ankle and offers a hybrid option between a standard hiker and a pair of trail running shoes . They're equipped with a tough waterproof nubuck leather upper and a protective rubber toe cap, and they have Gore-Tex's breathable waterproof membranes lining the inside, helping to keep water out while eradicating perspiration. Underneath is a beefy and shock-absorbing EVA midsole—a signature Hoka feature—while underneath, a Vibram Megagrip rubber outsole with multi-directional lugs works in tandem with Hoka's SwallowTail heel shape to dig into earth, pummel gravel, and keep you sure-footed with every step.
Reviewers agree that these boots provide a level of comfort that's become synonymous with Hoka footwear. "Most comfortable shoes," a shopper said. "I kept looking for a comfortable shoe for daily use and occasional hiking—Hoka Anacapa was the one." Another shopper agreed, saying, "Hiked several miles in the Canadian Rockies and my feet never felt so good."
Another shopper noted the drastic improvements of this model over its predecessor. "Having purchased/worn Kaha and Anacapa hikers forever, the latest model Anacapa 2 is a significant improvement over the earlier model," they said, noting upgrades on "the inner and heel pull-on padding, tongue loop for laces, rounded toe area, overall softer spring stepping—highly recommend."
Whether heading to your daily walking trail around the local pond or on a weekend trip to a national park, Hoka's Anacapa 2 Mid GTX can eat up any terrain you encounter while making you feel like you're wearing a feathery pair of running shoes. Make sure to grab your size soon, though, because when Hoka shoes like this one go on sale, they always sell out quickly.
