I was looking for something breathable, supportive, comfortable, and with good traction. These seemed to check all the boxes. \nI've been trying to like them for 8 months now. They felt decent out of the box, but as soon as I hit the trail I found them to be mushy, unstable, and lacking in support. It became quickly became apparent they wouldn't be my trail shoes. I'll admit though, the aesthetic is good so I keep trying to find ways to wear them. I've tried swapping in a few different insoles, but to no avail. Even wearing casually around town, my feet feel fatigued from the moment I put them on. Somehow every mile feels like 3. At least I'm getting a workout.

Developing plantar fasciitis, I looked for shoes with more cushion. I tried both the Hoka Bondi 8 and the Clifton 9 models. While the Bondi 8's were painful, the Clifton 9 was PERFECT! The plantar fasciitis pain went away immediately. I bought SIX pairs of Clifton 9's, getting extras as they were being discontinued, just in case.\n\nWith a family vacation planned to Rocky Mountain National Park, I knew we were going to be hiking a lot. I already had a pair of Columbia Men's Konos TRS hiking shoes, but knew they were going to get wet. Also, with some lighter hikes, I wanted plush and lightweight hiking shoes.\n\nWhile the Clifton 9's are great for pavement or dry Texas gravel walkways, the foam bottoms were not a great match for mountain hikes with melting snow. Seeking something with more of a hiking sole that could take a beating, and do a better job protecting my feet on rocks and roots, I searched the Hoka site for something plush like the Clifton 9, but more rugged. That landed me on the Hoka Anacapa Breeze Low.\n\nAlso considered the Anacapa 2 Mid GTX, Anacapa Breeze Mid, hallenger 7, Kaha 3 GTX, Kaha 3 Low GTX, Speedgoat 6, and Mafate X models. But the Anacapa Breeze Low seemed to be the best model for me based on the description, stats, weight, photos, and reviews. Out of the box they looked like exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately, they weren't it.\n\nOn my very first walk, they hurt my feet. The heel drop wasn't a good match for my mid-heel gait. They reminded me of the discomfort I felt with the Bondi 8's. Also, they were not available in wide sizes, which should not have mattered. But there was a serious pinch point on the outside of my toes. After a few tries, I returned them. If you love the Bondi 8, then the Anacapa Breeze Low will be perfect for you.","textLength":1858,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":1,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"Austin Texas Walker","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":"Austin, Texas, USA","state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-06-10T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[{"name":"hiking stability","score":0.52},{"name":"foot support","score":0.59}],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Hoka","siteUrl":"https://www.hoka.com/en/us/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/1680_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"16962-1127920","title":"Men's HOKA Anacapa Breeze Low Vibram Megagrip Hiking Shoes","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/16962-1127920","category":"sneakers-athletic-shoes","reviewCount":108,"ratingCount":108,"averageRating":4,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":9,"2":7,"3":17,"4":12,"5":63},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":7460421,"locale":"en_US","rating":3,"title":"Way too big","text":"I ordered these in the same size as my Speedgoats which are labeled 9.5 but when the Ancapas arrived today, I noticed the size is tagged \"9.5D\" wondering if this is the reason the fit is so strange?
