Hoka Anacapa 2 Low GORE-TEX Men's Walking Shoes

A versatile hiker designed to tread lighter. Scrutinised through the lens of sustainability, Hoka reimagined the beloved Anacapa Low GORE-TEX with a renewed focus on earth-friendly materials. Updated with recycled yarn meshes, it enlists GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology, a 30% sugarcane EVA midsole, and a Vibram Megagrip outsole.

Nubuck Leather Upper

Constructed with Gold-Rated Leather Working Group-approved Nubuck leather, the upper delivers high durability and exceptional support against treacherous trails with an Achilles-cradling heel tab that allows great ankle stability without causing discomfort to the Achilles. To avoid damp feet, and therefore dampened spirits, GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology with a 70% recycled face fabric resides inside the shoe, supplying a combination of durable waterproofing and optimised breathability. Sometimes it's hard to stay dry without developing that distracting clammy feeling, but GORE-TEX keeps water on the outside while letting perspiration escape from the inside, keeping sweat to a minimum and you cool and comfy. The recycled polyester collar and tongue lining work hand in hand with the recycled polyester external collar mesh to help enhance comfort, while an abrasion-resistant toe cap protects against rocks and uneven surfaces. The vamp and quarter mesh are also made with 100% recycled materials. A traditional lace system complete with 100% recycled polyester laces and metal eyelets ensures that stability is no problem, locking in the feet and allowing you to move confidently with every step.

Sugarcane EVA Midsole

The Anacapa 2 features a 30% sugarcane EVA midsole that offers the cushion and support that Hoka has become known for. This EVA foam provides maximum cushioning with little weight; the durable EVA surrounds the foot in complete comfort without adding bulk or weight to the shoe. The midsole delivers ultra-cushioned comfort without compromising the lightweight feel of the shoe, keeping you comfortable on your feet and able to keep moving mile after mile. Finally, an asymmetrical SwallowTail provides a wide and stable landing place, great for heel strikers and midfoot transitions. Underfoot, a 50% soybean-based sockliner provides step-in comfort.

Vibram Megagrip Outsole

Completing the Anacapa 2 Low is a Vibram Megagrip outsole. The high-performance rubber compound offers unparalleled sticky grip and optimal ground adaptability, allowing you to tackle tricky terrain with ease, whether the surface is wet or dry. The durable rubber offers rugged longevity, providing unprecedented grip hike after hike, and trail after trail. Multi-directional 5mm lugs offer supreme grip on a variety of technical terrain, keeping you stable and confident when navigating steep ascents and descents, or uneven ground. Ideal for long hikes or that extra bit of cushioning when out on the trail, the Anacapa 2 offers exceptional cushioning and stability no matter where your adventure takes you. Lastly, the slightly extended heel geometry allows for even smoother heel-to-toe transitions and added traction on steep descents.
