Customer Reviews Hoka Speedgoat 4

I've always worn Asics - Nimbus shoes but thought I would give these a try. I loved the shoes but was disappointed that the tongue on the shoes rubbed my ankle when walking around the house to try them out. Wish the tongue was in a softer material and/or shorter. I would have kept them... The overall support and cushioning was amazing!

This is my 4th pair of Speedgoats, and after reading some of the reviews, I was a little hesitant. Wore them yesterday, out of the box and onto the trails...wow, they might be the best generation of Speedgoats yet! Stable, yet responsive and comfortable - no rubbing from the non-cloth upper or through the toe box. The toebox is narrower, as with all the previous generations, but they are a great fit for me and my bunion.

Overall I like it, for a Hoka they aren’t too bulky and that is fine, I like the speedgoat2 best for comfort

Love my Hokas. I wish the other running shoes had the Vibram soles - those last so long! These shoes are super grippy, perfect for that loose gravel run. The 4 stars on style was because the upper has plastic-looking material, seems sort of cheap.

width was great, cushioning was great, but the upper part of the shoes had something rough that hurt the top of my feet with i tried the at home on the carpet.

I wear a 9, but these were too tight. My big toe was pushed all the way to the front. The tongue was not cushioned.

Surprised to find this style ran small on me. The footbed just didn''t feel right either, after wearing Cliftons for so long.

The idea was great however the hard rubber tongue which is fixed on either side and is sharp at the top rubbed a sore on my Foot right at the bend between foot and leg. I had to send them back and will not be reordering them. This is a terrible design flaw double design flaw Foot right at the bend between foot and leg.

I really want to like these but they are too long and my feet feel like they’re swimming in them. I have huge feet and shoes are never too big. I’m gonna try half a size down and see if the width still works for me.

The side of inside seam that attached the tongue to the front of the shoe is neither flat nor smooth. That ‘lump’ dug into my foot when I walked and knife-.like jabbed into my foot when I squatted. (The length was good, the shoe looked good.) I had a former version of SpeedGoat that I loved. Frustrating! For reference, 9.5 sized feet have a toe/foot area is wide-ish (but I don’t take a wide sized shoe) and boxy shaped (a la bear paws.) Returned.

I tried these shoes because my son recommended them. He also has plantar fascitis and said they are the best he has tried. Plus, I have been wanting more colorful shoes. I love the fit and comfort of the New Balance styles that fit my foot, which are the more expensive styles and also seem to be available in only a few, very conservative colors. I ordered a New Balance style and this shoe. When I tried this one on, I liked the look and it felt pretty good. But when I put on the New Balance, I knew there was no real choice. The New Balance felt SO much better, better support, better fit for my narrow heels and need for wider, and deeper toe box. So I would say that this shoe is properly sized and good for many people, but just not for me. I returned this shoe, although I was disappointed in having to return this colorful, attractive shoe.

did not like the toe box at all and I love Hoka shoes.
