Customer Reviews Hoka Speedgoat 4 GTX

These shoes are incredibly comfortable for about the first mile when the stiff tounge gouging into the front of your ankles becomes impossible to ignore. After 2 miles of very leisurely on and off hiking, the front of my ankles was actually rubbed raw and semi bleeding. I could cut the tongues off and let them fray and possibly poke me elsewhere but I will return them instead. Bummer as the sole of the shoe and the color scheme is otherwise a go.

I love the Hoka products that I have purchased in the past...3 pairs. Hoka sneakers have given me the ability to run despite having some back issues. Unfortunately, my recent purchase is a disappointment. The color and outward style is nice. The fit however, is stiff and the tongue of the shoe feel uncomfortable and stiff as well. Sorry, this time around purchasing these sneaks was a mistake.

Shoe was too bulky , too heavy and the regular width was

I'm a OR circulator, needed new shoes and was having sore feet by end of day. This brand came highly recommended and I bought it. About 2-3 weeks after I was having heel pain, then the 30 days passed and I couldn't return them. Pretty disappointed, need to go buy another pair of shoes

The old hoka are better quality that the new styles

I was so excited when Hoka came out with a waterproof Speedgoat, so I ordered them right away. I've owned four pairs of the Speedgoat 2 and 3 and they're the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. I've walked hundreds of miles in my Speedgoats, including many miles of wet trails. Sadly, I had to return these shoes because the tongue has a new design that is extremely uncomfortable. The new tongue is a thin, rubbery material that has no padding. In addition, the tongue has an asymmetrical cut that dug into my ankle. There's no way these shoes would be comfortable enough for the miles that I would put on them. So disappointing. Please bring back the old tongue, Hoka!

This is a design fault

Shoes tongues are sharp. No cushion at all. They scraped my feet.

Shoe too small. Really wanted these for work ordered 9.5 in men's they were too tight also, and now shoe is not available. Very disappointing.

Love the sole, but the shoe was very uncomfortable across the top of my foot.

I should have known when they were final sale that the design would be off. The waterproofing made them stiff and plastic and even at half a size bigger they gave me blisters on the end of my toes. I would have returned them if I could.

I expected a Hoka waterproof sneaker. This show doesn't even show the HOKA name on it. It is heavy and clunky and was returned immediately.

I love Hoka's Clifton line, but I needed a pair for rainy days/snowy/slippery terrains. Found this shoe and bought it at full price to give it a try. It was a bit tight so I thought I had to stretch it out first by wearing it more like the other comments mentioned. I didn't have any issue with the tongue, but this shoe was absolutely uncomfortable for long term wear. I've been trying to wear it since I purchased it at the beginning of October. I even used a shoe stretcher, hoping to break into the shoe, but that didn't work either. It was absolutely too tight and within less than an hour of walking, the side of my feet were in pain. Now I have a shoe that will sadly just sit there for display because I'm no longer within the return window. If you have wide feet, probably opt out of this line until they create a wide version.

Way to tight for my wide.

First, the tongue of the shoes is thin and caused abrasion on the front of my ankles on a short run. Secondly, the shoe fits narrower than in the past and is not the comfortable design that I've worn in the past. I sadly returned the shoes. I've worn (Speedgoat, Mafate and Challenger) Hokas for the past 10 years and am sad to see the design changes in their key trail running shoes.

I really tried to make these workjust not as comfortable as the Bondi! These ones had to go back.

They are way to tight.

Bought this shoe and was completely unsatisfied they hurt my feet

Beautiful shoes thats why I purchase them & sent money I dont have as being a senior on limit funds but I needed a good walking shoes, these are not good walking shoes. I walk 6 miles a day. The first & only time wearing these, I ended up with a heel blister, burse by ankle bone, & right thong cut my shin & burse it too. All with good socks on. I have pictures of my injury's. Its my fault for buying wrong shoes, love Hoka

I bought gortex for walking in the rain. My feet were soaked. Exchanging for another pair

Picture this - day one on a 100km trip. Have had Hokas before but these didn't fit right for my needs. Had to scrap using these and hike with a set of running shoes I brought. I so wanted these to work.
