Customer Reviews Hoka Speedgoat 4

I liked the weight, as no one likes hauling around heavy foot wear. But the toe box was much to small and I couldn't even get them on my feet for a "test drive" I like the Hoka brand and find that model "stinson' works well for me. Is the insole on all manufactures sneakers getting thinner and thinner.....

Definitely not a "wide" fit as is the Clifton and Bondi. There is so little cushioning that they were killing my feet after only 5 miles. I am not sure I will even keep them.

Returning. For the price, looked cheaply made. Too much cushion on sole made for bouncy steps. Fit was true to size, but overall disappointed.

Having purchased numerous pairs of WIDE Hoka, I decided to try the Speedgoat. Hoka must use a different shoe last for this model, as the Speedgoat doesn't have the same width as other Hoka WIDE models that I have tried......why would they do this?

Here's the deal, I ordered a pair of these a couple of weeks ago, in EE and when I slipped them on, I thought "finally, the Goldilocks shoe that I need for long trail miles." Then, instant hearbreak as I took a few strides with both shoes on. The plastic covering on the toebox cut RIGHT into the toes. Dumbest design and materials choice I've seen in any shoe in over 15 years. Seriously, who can wear these? Maybe those who don't flex their toes? I don't get it. It's a fatal flaw in the shoe design. So *sigh*... trying out the Evo Mafate 2 next which doesn't seem to have that annoying plastic tab. Too bad, since that's only available in a D. We'll see... but seriously Hoka, just make that covering over the box a sturdy mesh and it would be more comfortable, breathable, and with better drainage. Really terrible decision... on HOKA's part.

Received the shoes opened the box to try them on noticed that there was dust on them like from when you weren’t run around the track looked at the bottom of the shoes and they looked like they had been worn put them on and the right foot was hurting my foot I tried adjusting the shoe laces and still no satisfaction of comfort so I returned them not only for thatReBe specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

The engineering of this shoe doesn't match my use of them: the toe front is high, so perhaps they're intended for something other than everyday use.

The shoes seem ok they just were not wide enough. Do you have any plans to offer a 4E wide shoe?

NIce looking shoe. They were too narrow and painful, so I returned them. Hoka needs to offer wider shoes in more colors. As it is, I usually wear an 8 in women’s shoes. I can’t wear Hokas in women’s sizes because they’re all too narrow. I have to wear a men’s 8 and deal with the length being too long just so I don’t have to suffer through the width being too narrow. The Speed Goat was still too narrow. Thankfully the Clifton 7 is ok for me (I haven’t been able to wear Cliftons since the Clifton 3 because they started making them more narrow). Between the Clifton 3 and Clifton 7 I wore the Napali. I don’t run... I only wear these shoes because they’ve cured my sciatica.

fit and size fine however I returned items because I do not feel they are made well. Sloppy stitching on upper. I have seen reviews saying these sneakers fell apart quickly .I suspect they are right after looking at the sloppy way they are put together.

The upper part of the shoe has seams that I could feel poking through my socks. The front of the shoe folded in when walking, crushing my toes. Very uncomfortable.
