Customer Reviews Hoka Anacapa Breeze Low

spent the extra $20 for faster delivery, week and a half late disappointed!! happy with the shoes though.

not a great fit

I bought the male version of this shoe for my boyfriend. He's a true 8.5M but said his toes were very crunched in the toe box. Will be exchanging for either a Wide size or will go up to a 9.

I buy this goretex shoe for walking at work. I wear it on the average of 3 1/2 days per week for 32 weeks per year.these shoes are worn out just after 22 weeks. This shoe causes me to strongly favor the outside heel on both left and right side and wear them out before they should. Othe holas do not wear the heels out drastically like these do.

Love the shoes and the way the feel. But the bottoms have large open areas of just soft foam like the running shoes. So when you return from a hike you need to pull all the thorns out. The bottom needs to not have the exposed soft foam.

General wear! Great shoe as nearly always in the 10-12 pairs I owned. This particular shoe is not sized correctly! See below. Also have another pair that I wore 4-5 times and they developed a squeak when I walk. Can't find a reason but can't wear then. They are expensive shelf shoes!!! Below is info on the Anacada's

It's way too narrow and suprisingly the Vibram sole (which I'm a huge fan off) came off on day 2. Still giving it 3 stars cos I love HOKA as a brand. The idea behind the shoe is also amazing. Just make it wider guys. It's the future. Or the present really.

They fit great straight out of the box,but they are too flexible for my liking. I like them for walking around but hiking is a no go

Got this shoe for a festival I have in September that traverses hills and grass/sand/dirt terrain. I have no issues with the comfort level of these shoes but I used them for moving out of my apartment and feet were sore after a single day of use. Ended up switching to something else for the second day. Perhaps the break in period.

A little big, i have ordered many hoka shoes and these are larger than normal.

I own 3 pair of hoka's and these don't rank up no where close to my other two pair the bindi 7 are my favorite go to shoe if it's walking 5 miles or running the plush is way better then the Anacapa Breeze wish I could exchange for something more comfortable

I walked the Camino Frances and wore out a pair of the Anacapa Breeze 4 days prior to reaching Santiago de Compostela. It was disappointing to have the lining, insole and outsole completely destroyed in less than 500 miles. In my opinion a hiking shoe should be able to last 500+ miles. After this experience and having previously worn multiple models of Hoka's, I will not purchase another pair of any Hoka models, because they wear out too quickly.

Quality product, size however is a mystery.

Not comfortable at all ! I have 3 pairs of Hokas . These you can feel the lumpy bottom grip through the bottom of the shoe when standing . I am going to exchange for another pair.

For some reason these just don't fit like the other models, the Clifton.. the speedgoat, even the Kaha... I wear the same size in all these shoes but I am between sizes in the Anacapa low. Dissapointed. Cool looking shoe otherwise.

I've been wearing Hoka's for a couple of years now to address foot pain and wanted to try their trail version. Unfortunately, these are not as comfortable as Cliftons and to me, have a design flaw. Specially, in the toe box, there is fabric that is wrapped in some areas with support outside. (You can see this in the pictures.) This made allows the foot to rub against this band and was always noticeable, even when I wore thicker socks. Finally, and this might just be the nature of the show, the heal area was too stiff and after a few hours of walking, my foot started to hurt. So, this pair has been returned and I'll keep looking for a trail shoe.

As an avid hiker, I have purchased multiple pairs of Speedgoats both regular and mid-goretex for the trail. I bought a pair of the Anacapa Breeze as everyday summer shoes, dog-walking, etc. I was very disappointed with the fit. I find that the banding that gives the shoe form is restrictive and provides unnecessary pressure points on the side of my feet which becomes uncomfortable after short periods of wearing. Will stick to the Speedgoats going forward. The shoe is made well and has Hoka durability, nfotunately it just does not fit the same as their other shoes fit me.

The shoes are perfectly comfortable and feel great walking in them. In terms of comfort and support I have no complaints. I am just disappointed in the quality. I have owned them for less than 6 months and have had to glue the tread back on in multiple places. For what they cost I expected a better build quality.

Worst hoka shoe ever ! Not comfortable , no support, hurt my feet , was looking for a sale on this one and I guess I got what I paid for ! I'll stick with the Clifton 9

The Anacapa Breeze aggravates my plantar fasciitis as does the Anacapa 2. The original Anacapa was perfect for me. I wear them almost every day with no pain at all. I wish it could be brought back. I can't imagine why this model was discontinued. .
