Is the Anacapa 2 Low GTX worth $180?

It is a fair price for a light GORE-TEX hiker with a cushioned midsole, but it is full price as of November 4, 2026. If you hike mostly dry, maintained trails, a non-waterproof shoe often costs less and breathes better.

How does it compare to the original Anacapa Low GTX?

The second version keeps the waterproof GORE-TEX build and low cut but updates the upper with recycled materials and refines the midsole. It stays a light, cushioned day hiker rather than a stiff backpacking shoe.

Is it actually waterproof?

Yes. It uses a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane, so it sheds rain, wet grass and puddles. Water can still enter over the ankle collar in deep water.

It fits true to size for most people, with a roomy toe box and a snug heel. Hoka's low-volume fit suits average to slightly narrow feet; wide-footed hikers may want to size up or try a wide version.

What is the drop and weight?

The drop is 7 mm, and each shoe weighs about 10 oz, or 1 lb 14.6 oz for the pair. That is light for a waterproof hiker.

Hoka and outdoor retailers usually discount it during end-of-season sales and around major holiday sales. As of November 4, 2026, the best new price is $180 at HOKA.
