Customer Reviews Hoka Speedgoat 2

This is my first pair of Speedgoat2, I am very surprised and pleased of this pair provided. It doesn't require break in, I wore to walk and stand for nearly 6 hours in theme park at first try, I rarely feel pain after long hours unlike other brand names did. Speedboat is well-balanced, provides enough height and cushion to support ankles... and will be my only outdoor walking/activity shoe from now on.

I pulled these out of the box and took them for a 7 mile break in run through the desert and they were great. I was a little apprehensive when I saw how high the heel was, but when I compared them to my regular Clifton 4, I realized it was similar and just cut differently. However, once I started running, I realized this shoe has excellent traction and you can immediately feel it. Also, I don't know about non-desert trails, but I was grateful for the added cushioning because there are only rocks and sand out here. If you want a genuine trail shoe that can hold up to a rocky, uneven terrain, this is it. I will add that I read a lot of these shoe reviews and people wear them to work instead of run with them and I am not sure if this is the shoe for that because of the design and Vibram traction would be overkill.

Tremendous shoe that has saved my running. Had numerous injuries with other shoes and none since running in these Hokas.

Love the speedgoat. Bought this particular model for the color. It looks more orange in the picture than it is - it's more pink than orange. Nevertheless, I like the color anyhow. Already love the shoe. Now to pick my next color.

Nice shoe in the Hoka line!

great running shoe

I run and hike on dirt and rocky mountain trails. My waterproof shoes (another brand) were so heavy, I decided to try these. Great traction! My feet do get cold after 45 minutes in the snow, but that's okay. I have wide feet from yoga, and these have plenty of room.

Though I had to return 2 times to get the right shoe and then the correct size I'm finally in heaven. Doubtful that I will ever change brands after the great experience that I had. These are amazing! Thanks Hoka for great customer service

This is the only Hoka model I've found that still provides a pillow ride for narrow feet. I loved the challenger ATR 2 until they ruined it by lightening and cheapening it. This shoe is very comfortable but has a narrow flat toe box. Runs a 1/2 size small. Love this shoe!

With only 5 miles of pre-hike break-in, to make sure I had the right shoes and sox, I used the Speedgoat 2 for a rim to rim Grand Canyon hike. That's 24 miles with 5,000- 6,000 feet of elevation gain and loss. I needed a shoe that was lightweight, superb traction and plenty of cushioning for the rocky canyon trail. The Speedgoat 2's didn't disappoint me and I was surprised at how good my feet felt when I reached the end. I also have a pair of Tor Ultra Low's but they didn't have the ventilation and breathability of the Speedgoats. I now have about 150 miles on them and they are showing some wear. The extremely abrasive rocky trails in southern Arizona are very hard on shoes. Last week I did a 12.5-mile hike that dropped 6,500 feet in elevation and there was about every type of steep and rocky condition you can imagine. The Speedgoats have become my favorite hiking shoe for trails. They really do make a difference and leave my feet feeling great.

First of all, let me start by saying it was scary how much i trusted these shoes to grip. Took them white water rafting twice on my hike and once i took a spill in the nantahala and stood up in the current on the slippery rocks and literally walked to the side. I regularly had to remind myself slipping happens to people not wearing these. As for durability, After 7 weeks and 600 miles in the mountains, my pair had been thoroughly used. i have about 5 holes in them, one big enough to put my finger in, but they held up amazingly. A guy i walked with needed new shoes by damascus(altas) i could have gotten some but didnt f eel like it was necessary with 125 more miles left in my hike. I put these things through hell and they stayed wet for honestly 30% of my trip. One thing i will say is the rubber peice from the sole came unglued on the front of both super quick,(under 100 miles) and dragged for the rest of the way. The shoe is made well and is very comfortable, like more so than my nikes. I plan to buy 4 pair in the near future to use on my 2020 thru hike because i was so thoroughly impressed. These are killer shoes

I ran a 13.5 mile spartan beast. They felt great and performed great only thing is price point.

I'm not a runner I work at a factory and I walk a lot they last me a long time I don't have any complaints great shoes.

I like them. Not a ton of miles worn yet but I trust Hoka's product quality. Color wasn't as true to picture as I'd imagined.

I'm on my third pair of Hoka's Speedgoat 2. They are by far the best running shoes I've ever owned. They're incredibly comfortable and extremely durable. I ran the entirety of the Run Rabbit Run 100 (an ultramarathon in Northern Colorado's Routt National Forrest) in a single pair of these. Hoka, please sponsor me and make my dreams come true.

It is everything I am looking for in a trail shoe.

I am a PT and runner. I completely love Hokas and have 4 different models. My first choice in models for running is definitely the Arahi 2 (men's)then second would be Bondi 5! Great shoes and happy feet!!

Love these shoes for trail running and day hikes. Great traction, lightweight and exceedingly comfortable
