The quality of the materials and technologies that characterize all HOKA models combine perfectly with the brand's commitment to sustainability and the HOKA Anacapa 2 Freedom is a clear example of this.
The HOKA Anacapa 2 Freedom is a hiking shoe that stands out for the large presence of recycled and sustainable materials throughout the production process, an increasingly important aspect for brands and also when deciding on the part of the users.
HOKA continues to bet on comfortable shoes for walking on our mountain routes as is the case with this new model of one of the most popular trekking ranges, the Anacapa.
The upper is made of nubuck leather from a tannery with a gold rating from the Leather Working Group, an international non-profit organization responsible for the world's largest leather sustainability program.
The large presence of recycled and sustainable materials can be found in different parts of the shoe, such as the 55% recycled polyester mesh upper and tongue, the soy-based PU insole and the 30% sugarcane EVA foam are some of the most prominent examples.
The shoe has TPU Freedom reinforcements in the heel to provide the stability and protection needed for walking in the mountains, especially on the most uneven and complicated terrain.
The heel incorporates one of the great innovations of this model, as it is specially designed to flex and move back to facilitate the entry of our foot in the shoe, working with the integrated tongue to facilitate sliding.
The midsole features an EVA foam made from 30% sugar cane, which stands out for its lightness and great cushioning capacity.
The outsole has one of the most outstanding compounds on the market, the Vibram Megagrip compound that guarantees great durability and, most importantly, a good grip on a wide range of terrains, regardless of the state, dry or wet in which they are.
This is a shoe that adapts to a wide profile of athletes who need a shoe to walk comfortably and protected on their trekking routes in the mountains.
Athletes of medium weight, even high (over 75 kilos) with a neutral stride technique will be able to get the most out of the performance of this hiking shoe.
As far as technical specifications are concerned, the men's and women's versions have different drops adapted to the characteristics of each person. The men's version has a drop of 8 mm while the women's version is 10 mm.
It is a relatively heavy shoe, weighing 403 grams in the men's version and 332 grams in the women's version.
In short we are facing a shoe with which we can walk comfortably during our trekking routes through the mountains and that stand out for their cushioning and comfort in addition to having a large percentage of sustainable materials in their manufacture.
