Is the Hoka Anacapa 2 Mid GTX worth it at $116.97?

At $116.97 at Backcountry.com as of November 7, 2026, it is a strong buy if you want a cushioned waterproof day hiker. That is well under its usual $180–$200 range.

How does it compare with the original Anacapa Mid GTX?

The second version keeps the Gore-Tex build and plush midsole but uses more recycled materials in the lining and upper. Fit and cushioning are close to the original.

Is it truly waterproof?

Yes. It has a Gore-Tex membrane plus a nubuck and mesh upper, and owners report dry feet in rain and on wet trails.

Does it run true to size?

Most buyers say it fits true to size, and it comes in normal and wide widths. Try your usual Hoka size first.

How much does it weigh?

About 18 oz per boot. That is on the heavier side for a mid-cut hiker, so it suits comfort over speed.

Prices drop most in end-of-season sales and around major shopping events. The current $116.97 at Backcountry.com is already near the low end of its recent range.
