Customer Reviews Hoka Speedgoat 4

I so wanted to like the Hoka’s. While it had solid soles, with good support, the speed goat fell short on the material for the shoe. As soon as I put my foot in, it seemed to collapse. The material has no structure, and no support for the foot. The material for the tongue was just a thin piece of material, which I expect would be uncomfortable after awhile. Too expensive for what this shoe is.

Tread wore out after only 10 weeks!

I agree with other reviews that the tongue is very stiff and uncomfortable. I had to return them.

I love this brand but this pair is obviously made poorly. Less than a month old, not even worn on a “real run” just around the house and the seam is coming apart!

Nice looking shoe. Great heel cushioning but poor forefoot cushion. Worn for 2 days and will be returning.

The tongue on this version of the Speedgoat doesn't have any padding or 'thickness' to it, it's just a thin piece of material with a somewhat sharp edge. Doesn't seem like it would matter, but after running several miles and the top edge of the tongue rubbing against my foot, it broke the skin on one foot and rubbed a raw spot on the other foot. Too bad because otherwise these were pretty good. Will be returning, hopefully Zappo's 30-day returns for used running shoes is a real thing.

Very disappointed. Tried walking in these at home and the top creases down onto the foot, which can't possibly be good for outdoor activity. These also run a full size larger than my other running shoes. The cushioning is phenomenal, but of no use if the shoe is terrible.

I discounted the reviews that said that the tongue was gouging into people’s skin. I shouldn’t have! It is terribly uncomfortable there, which is disappointing because the rest of the shoe is fabulously comfy.

I spent a lot of time researching hiking shoes and chose these Hoka’s. I loved the yellow orange color and that they were so light. Short in my size for my big foot. No arch support in my opinion. Worst of all, I didn’t notice that the tongue wasn’t padded. It came high up on my ankle and the sharp edge was painful.

I tried these, but I find I can only wear arahi or gaviota for my overpronation.

I bought these because of rave reviews I had read online. However I bought my usual size 10 and they fit like boats- too wide & too long and not to mention pretty unattractive and feel cheaply made but extremely well marketed. Would return if I hadn’t worn once already.

Well, I know I walk a lot, but after only 3 months, these shoes completely fell apart. I expected a much longer shelf-life for $150 sneakers! They were good while they lasted, bu I would not buy again.

Same as the other reviewers..the tongue has no padding and digs directly into ankle. Should have skipped the purchase, but wanted to see for myself.

I have the same complaint as many others -- that darn tongue just sticks into your skin. How disappointing, when I so love Hoka shoes!
