Soooooo! comfortable
I recently took a Christmas job at retail store, on my feet all day, yes my legs still get tired but, but my feet are rested, am able to keep up with the standing. I am 52, \150 LBS and First time wearing Hokas and now: I am hooked. In the future, I will make sure to get all dark colors;, since I need to be constantly cleaning this ones, I love keeping my shoes clean free of stains.
Yikes!
Bought these because I needed the extra ankle support. Shoe felt sloppy with no support, almost like wearing a slipper. Narrow toe box. Ordered up and my foot was jammed in there. Long-time Hoka lover but these are not a winner.

Needs more forefoot spread and cushion
These hiking shoes are narrow up in the forefoot area. Even though I am a solid B width, I find myself wishing there was more toe spread room. You can even see by the picture how narrow looking they are. These could also use more cushion up front. Why all the cushion in the back, and then ignore the front? I feel like I am almost walking on nothing up front. Love the ankle height and style, but needs to be fine tuned

Forefoot needs widened
I do not have wide feet. I measure a solid B. While I fit into theses boots, I have no toe spread. This is a hiking boot and one should have room in the forefoot. I have no idea why Hoka would design a boot/shoe like this. This being said, I ordered the GTX version of the Anacapa and there was a lot more room in the forefoot. So, either these Anacapa Breezes need to play catch up to the GTX version, or I just ended up with a bum pair. I do not think this is the case though, because even the website pictures make the forefoot and toe area look narrow. I lave the weight and the ankle height of these boots as I have weak ankles. Everything else is great except the narrowness up front.

The best
I've tried so many different shoes. My podiatrist suggested hookah so the first pair of hookers I bought were men's 10 wide they were great. I love them. I used them for walking the dog so this time I ordered a pair of 10 regular women's hiking shoe. I love love love them. I was so worried they wouldn't fit, but they were great so excited. I'm going to the grand Tetons with new hiking shoes.

Bummer
I bought these because they are supposed to be waterproof and I instantly felt the water go through. So frustrating!

Rubs achilles and poor quality
I have been wearing Hoka Bondi and Cliftons for years and wanted hiking boots for upcoming National Park vacation. But very disappointed in the Anacapa Breeze Mid height. The plastic string hooks have cheap feel and one of the shoe strings started unraveling the first I wore them. I regret I didn't try them out sooner so I could return. Since I live in So Fla there are few opportunities to test, and I assumed these would be comfortable like other Hokas. Big mistake. I tried then on short mile hike mid summer and had to turn around and limp back to car because of extreme pain on back of my ankles - achilles tendons. The next day I wore my Bondis no problem. Two weeks later I wore again shopping. Within 20 minutes my achilles were killing me again and had to rush home barefoot. Frustrated and worried it was me, not shoes, and I went to podiatrist with the shoes. He confirmed it was Anacapas. The collar rubs against my tendons. ( I contacted Hoka where I ordered but because it had been 3 months since I ordered they will not accept return. Given my experience and changes to and short life of Bondis, I'm switching to different brand of running and hiking shoes.

The Best!
First let me say that I have several pair of Hokas, I use them for running, distance walking and all round shoe. They fit me perfectly, give me the support I require and hold up well. I bought the Anacapa breeze Mid for "hiking" around the amusement parks in Orlando with my grandkids and they performed admirably! I needed a shoe that would breath in the hot Florida summers, support my ankles for the hours spent standing on line and have plenty of grip for the sometimes uneven paths in the zoos, and marinas. Very happy with this purchase and I will buy them again.
