@@InsertNameHereHiking-mf9yd I think they're better on variable terrain or slightly less technical as they're more like a trail runner. I want both and may end up with both lol. Love your work man!
@@InsertNameHereHiking-mf9ydSalomon proprietary outsole compound isn’t a patch on Vibram Megagrip. Can’t remember what it’s called now, but I was disappointed with performance, especially for the price. My Wildcross GTX lasted only a few days before the tongue came detached in one, the GoreTex wetted out walking through morning dew on short grass, outsole was poor. Worst pair of trail shoes I’ve bought, unfortunately.
I prefer the Altra Lone Peak 6, for some cushion and zero drop. The Hokas are nice for casual wearing and recovery, for me. I don't like super high stack height of the Hokas for technical footwear.
See I thought I was going to be in the same place. One of the main reasons I didn’t go hoka for hiking is I was really concerned about messing up my ankles because of how tall they are, but it’s been great so far and I’m really happy with them.
I meant how tall the shoes are not how tall my ankles are. I've had issues with other boots/shoes before where if the soles are too tall I have a tendency to roll my ankle.
Everyday Dad!!!! I just discovered this channel!!! What? I didn’t know you had two channels!!’ 😮cheers!!
Have the Anacapa 2 low gtx and they are my favorite hiking shoe. Getting ready to try out the new Anacapa 2 Freedom.
Didn't know you had this channel too! Subbed!
Well thanks so much!
Hoka speedgoats are what I wear almost every time hiking. Absolutely love them
Those look really nice too! I seriously considered buying those too.

I love Solomons so, so much. But after a 7 mile light hike I can definitely feel my feet and legs getting tired.
I’ve never used Solomon’s, but I’ve heard great things. Once you get used to a pair of hoka type shoes everything else feels like wearing bricks 😅

When I say days, I mean like about 10 days as well. 😩

@@InsertNameHereHiking-mf9yd How does your ankle height affect your shoe choice? Genuinely curious.

Are these the Anacapa 2 or the original Anacapa 1?
anybody out there actually trail run in these?
