Customer Reviews Hoka Speedgoat 6

Purchased for the LBL 50 mile in the event the course didn't dry enough. It provided plenty of grip up the hills and in the low spots still muddy from the previous rains. Stable across rocks and roots. Perfect for a trail run/race.

Had to replace because of ill fitting!

Shoe runs half size small vs SG5. I have had a pair of SG5's for a year and love em. Foot bed not as soft as SG5's but only a week or two into wearing them.

Better technical shoe than my MS4s which I love. Fantastic feel on the trail. I've had the 2,3,4, and 5 and this shoe is better. The Vibram on the 5 was soft and made a sticky sound on my tile floor. Not the 6, so I think it's going to be more durable. Only minor flaw is the tongue slit for laces is too low; so with a partially gusseted tongue I took it out and could tighten the bottom laces perfectly. I'm an 11D and wear 11.5 in Hoka's.

I've added these to my work collection. Love them! They are comfortable and supportive. Great for walking and standing.

I alternated between two pairs of the camo ones. One of the pairs has over 300 miles and is still feels lively with tread that is decent for their age. 95 percent of my running is trail running which could help explain their remaining tread after so many miles. Going to continue to buy these until I can't find them anymore.

I got these after trying the Challenger 7, I had always used Speedgoat since the 4th iteration before that. Challenger 7 to my feet is like a brick compared to the Speedgoat 6. There were a few outlier bad reviews that made me try not want to try to Speedgoat 6 which was a mistake on my part. Speedgoat 6 fits great for me, there is a negligible tightness in the toe box compared to the Speedgoat 5, but not enough to bother me. If you have wide feet definitely get the wide version. I ran a quick 5k after putting them on for the first time and it felt great as if it was my already broken in 5's on my feet. Each footfall was smooth and soft as I have come to expect from Speedgoat. I also did not get any burning on the bottom of my feet like I did the few times I wore the Challenger 7s. Highly recommend you at least try these before anything else in trail shoes.

ACTUALLY I BOUGHT THESE FOR WORK BEHIND THE BAR .. VERY COMFORTABLE AND SUPPORTIVE COULDNT BE HAPPIER WITH THEM .. NOTHING BETTER THAN THE RIGHT SNEAKERS WHEN YOU ARE RUNNING AROUND BEHIND THE BAR ON A BUSY NIGHT

Love love love them

I walk and work a lot on elevated property. This works great. Very lightweight.

The HOKA trail running shoes have been amazing with zero complaint for the fit, durability, traction, and other key features.

First of all, I'm one of the lucky ones...every US 9.5 fits me in every brand. Running shoes don't give me blisters, even after 15 miles, I don't complain about laces, tongues, and toe boxes. They all just seem to work for my skinny, high arch. What I am sensitive to, and will complain about is cushioning, specifically in the forefoot, outsole durability, stability, since I overpronate on my right side, and I can tell how well a running shoe works for me after about 10 miles into a run. I rotate several pairs of shoes from different brands and many are delegated to 6 miles or less. The Speedgoat 6's are ultra-marathoners for me! The midsole is not the typical Hoka feel...it pretty firm but the stack is high and you can feel there's a lot under-foot. They are very protective, and the firm but ample cushion keeps my feet and knees happy for as long as the rest of me can last. The forefoot cushioning keeps the ball of my foot from getting fatigued better than any trail shoe I've tried. The traction on extremely technical terrain, such as slanted singletrack on hill edges and hills you have to bomb in order to get up, is second to none. Outsole durability is also very good. These shoes weren't meant for any type of pavement, and I'm sure the grippy lugs would wear off quick, but otherwise, as intended, they last. They are pretty good out of the box on comfort but they soften up for about 50 to 70 miles. I feel like people are giving these shoes less than stellar reviews. To each their own, but they are for amazing trail runners as far as I'm concerned.

Speedgoat 6 is a great sneaker. A wide toebox and a lower heel height, but not less cushioning, along with a stable base,really make this a great off-road running shoe.

Original was 1/2. Size too small .The replacement was perfect. HIOKA customer service was excellent in helping with return of original and prompt shipment of the replacement.

Excellent fit. Strong traction. Perfect trail-running shoes.

64 yo on technical rocky trails; shoe is very stable, very good cushioning. tough upper, tough shoelaces. very pleased, will run telluride mountains in these. love the colors. no blisters, no complaints at all. will buy more.

Since I bought My first pair of HOKA'S....I have SINCERELY....have stopped using ANY OTHER TYPE OF TENNIS SHOES and so far own 3 pairs of HOKA'S and counting....I truly hope I can become a Speaker for HOKA some day. Now if I can Only find all the colors in the sizes I'm looking for.....My plan is to buy every color till I own them all. I finally found a 13 EW

These are the first pair of shoes I've owned that feel like they are engineered. Zero pain in my heels after getting these. Don't need my arched insoles any more either. I've since bought two more pairs.

I got these shoes for my husband and he loves the way they're cushioned. He uses them for every day walk and they're soft but balanced. He used to struggle with plantar fasciitis and Hoka shoes seem to be THE shoes to help with this problem. The colors are vibrant and the material is nice. Highly recommended.

This is an upgrade done right! Way better fit than its predecessors. Great grip on the most gnarly rocky/loose scree trail I frequent. I was confident with every step on the runs. Great feedback from the mid and the overall cushioning is awesome. SpeedGoat 6, get yourself a pair, keep an open mind and get out there and run that trail like a boss! Black / Stardust for now..
