Customer Reviews Hoka Speedgoat 6

I've heard only good comments about Hoka's and decided to give them a shot. I have an extremely high instep, can only wear lace up shoes and boots and have a hard time finding footwear that's comfortable. To compensate, as I did when ordering these shoes, I'll go to a EE width for the extra material in the uppers. Sometimes this works, unless the tongue is anchored to the sides using a non-elastic material. This pair is snug, but I'm able to wear them for extended periods and hope they loosen up a little with time.

Very comfortable shoe and the vibram sole makes it last a long time. I bought an extra pair of the Speedgoat 6 because the new version color scheme is just awful.

After being disenchanted with the Rincon model, losing 50% of the sole durability, down from 400 to 200 miles, I found the Speedgoat model. They have tough Vibram soles. And the cushioning is equivalent. I am only 30 miles into them but I believe they will outlast the Rincon.

Feel good, look good,definitely comfortable!

I had seen HOKA shoes and found them interesting so I finally broke down and purchased a pair. First thing I noticed was a pretty solid bottom. Sort of like a car tire. They were exceptionally comfortable. I don't know if it is because they are new or just because of the padding. They feel clunky but I must say I'm a HOKA fan now. I purchased them to walk/run and they have been great. They are comfortable and well worth the money. They are so much better for my body in walking or jogging and everyday wear.. They are good on my legs, knees and feet. I do recommend them..

Shoe does what I need it to do...allow me to run technical trails for many miles with no drama.

My first pair of Hokas. Now, I'm hooked!

Really comfortable

I wear Hoka clifton 10 as my everyday shoes, so when I needed to replace my golf shoes I started looking to see what Hoka had and I found the Speedgoat 6 and they work great have good grip and keep my feet dry on wet days.

All the shoes I have bought from HOKA have been good

Great shoe for everyday wear and exercise.

Perfect shoes !

Replacing a worn out pair, more colors and sizes available would be a plus.

I bought these for light duty hiking, trail walks etc. I've taken them to Lake placid, I've taken them to Palm Springs and I've taken them to the daunting Runyon Canyon in LA. Wet terrain dry terrain. loose terrain, all were handled expertly. These are fantastic light duty hikers. I highly recommend them. Next up, Mount Etna in Sicily!

I bought these to wear on a 60 mile hike on the rugged Southwest Coast Path in Cornwall, England. They handled this hike beautifully. Much of it was on rugged, rocky trail with lots of scrambling on and over boulders. There was also a lot of smooth cruising with steep ups and downs. I also use them for trail running here in Portland, Maine. We have very diverse trails, most of which are rocky, rooty and slippery. The traction is excellent and there's plenty of support without being heavy.

Im 240lbs Neanderthal man. This is the best shoe I could find and wear for technical trail running. I've done loads of training and a few 25K mountain races with them.

This review is based on four pairs used by our family for Moab hiking. I was very conscious of the multiple reviews that stated the tongue looked too "short", so reviewers returned their pair. The tongues did look short; however, even after using the back lace eyelet for heel security, we experienced good protection from the shoe strings. Some other reviewers were dissatisfied with color choice. I suspect that has improved with more recent color options added. We were satisfied with the choices. The grip on these was AMAZING for rock scrambling, and they performed well on other surfaces like sand and gravel. I am at 50 kM on my pair. Judging from the wear, I expect average durability. I ran various paces on a 12K, and was satisfied from easy pace through 10K pace. I noticed a slight hot spot at the front of my arch during the last kM, but I tend to get that in some other shoes. Great shoe experience so far!

It just does not fit correctly

I ordered size 13 2xwide. I hiked 650 miles across Europe up and down hills and mountains, on all kinds of terrain from mud, rocks, grass, asphalt, sandy beaches, etc. Never had any discomfort or pain, not even a single blister. I still wear them today and they feel great. Glad I bought these for my trip. Money well spent.

Thanks to the Customer Service team. I ordered a size 9 wide, received them in very good time. Probably for me, a little small. So, I asked for an exchange for 9.5 Wide, and those fit like a glove, a received them in no time. Thanks again..
