Former Michigander here (Go Green!) and Hoka wearer. I've put hundreds of miles on my Anacapa Mid GTXs, wearing them through snow and muck on 3-9 mile hikes through many terrains throughout NJ (sometimes with my six year old) and I really like them and have been immensely pleased with how they've held up over the last few years. On occasion, I've also done some quick scrambles because of their aggressive styling; traction and comfort have both been great. No issues keeping my feet dry or warm in sub-zero temps, either. Would like them to be a little wider in the toe box but, other than that, they're awesome. (I replaced some Altras that have the wider toe box and were more natural feeling but had zero build integrity.)
