FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The ANACAPA Low GTX is designed with a standard fit. If you have significantly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit, as individual foot shapes vary.
Can I wear these for casual walking?
Yes, the cushioning and comfort features make them suitable for casual walking, though their primary design is for hiking.
How do I know if the Gore-Tex is working?
Gore-Tex works by preventing external water from entering while allowing internal moisture vapor (sweat) to escape. If your feet stay dry during rain or while walking through wet conditions, the membrane is functioning.
What is the main difference between this and a mid-height boot?
The main difference is the ankle coverage. The low-cut design offers more freedom of movement for the ankle, while a mid-height boot provides more support and protection against debris and twists.
Do I need to waterproof the leather separately?
The shoes come with a Gore-Tex membrane for waterproofing. While the leather is treated, periodic application of a suitable leather conditioner can help maintain its condition and suppleness over time.
What size UK equivalent is this shoe?
This specific product listing is for a UK size 5.5.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort during first few wears
This is common with new hiking shoes. Wear them for shorter walks initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not tight fit.
Feet feeling damp despite waterproofing
Ensure the Gore-Tex membrane is intact and not compromised. Check that socks are not causing moisture retention; opt for moisture-wicking hiking socks. Over-tightening laces can sometimes impede breathability.
Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces
Check the outsole for embedded debris (mud, small stones) and clean them. The traction might also be less effective on extremely slick surfaces like wet polished rock or ice.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a small amount of HOKA-approved leather conditioner or a product specifically designed for waterproof hiking boots to restore suppleness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. It is recommended to wear them for short periods initially to allow your feet to adapt to the cushioning and fit.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult female hikers. Designed for use on hiking trails and general outdoor walking.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Clean the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically, you may consider using a leather conditioner suitable for waterproof footwear to maintain the leather's suppleness and the Gore-Tex membrane's performance. Ensure any product used is compatible with Gore-Tex materials.
