Verdict

The Hoka Anacapa Low GTX is a solid performer — a low waterproof scoring 83/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 386g, it is on the heavier side for a low waterproof. The 28mm heel stack — a moderate stack — delivers a medium-firm ride at 32 HC, returning 52% of impact energy and feeling moderately responsive underfoot. Geometrically, the Anacapa Low GTX runs on a low 4mm drop that suits midfoot and forefoot strikers, with a 24mm forefoot stack that creates a naturally ground-hugging feel. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 96mm — roomy, with space for wider feet and swelling on long runs — and the upper is available in D/2E widths. Wide toe box. Hoka signature fit. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for day hikes, wet trail hiking, cushion-seekers, mixed terrain, and performs less well for technical climbing or very long multi-day.
