HOKA Anacapa 2 Low GTX
Along with the Salomon X Ultra 4, the Hoka Anacapa 2 Low GTX received praise online with the biggest complaint being the too big sizing. Zappos had a smaller size 9.5 available in black, and I tried it due to the mis-sizing. I admit that they weren’t a bad fit at half a size smaller. Unfortunately at the time, Zappos did not have a size 10 available for comparision purposes.
The Anacapa 2 Low GTX is one of my finalists of all the waterproof hiking shoes I tried. It fit better than the Transport Chukka and is more streamlined than the Tor Ultra Low. For whatever reason, this model at Zappos was discounted to $118 compared to $180 on Hoka’s web site.
But… that sizing. Yeah, the size 9.5 fits with regular socks on a short try on duration. How would these feel wearing them all day? I would really like to try my true to size 10 for comparison, but there are none at Zappos and none elsewhere at a discounted price. So reluctantly, these were sent back to Zappos although I could have held them longer with Zappos’ unbeatable return policy.
