Customer Reviews Hoka Speedgoat 6

I blew through three pairs of the SG 5's and opted that my next purchase was the mafate 4. That mafate served me well but after some shin splints I decided to go back to the faithful speedgoat. I love the new SG 6 , the mafate was just to HEAVY, soft and mushy , the speedboat 6 is very light, stable, firm, and quick on technical terrain. My only gripe is the god aweful color choices. The 6 is a massive upgrade over the 5 and now having experienced it vs the mafate 4 speed it's clear the mafate doesn't deserve the "speed" in its name. The mafate is a big mushy brick compared to the speedgoat 6 ! Please give us better design athstetic and colors!!!

Lightweight with great support and cushioning - for all day standing, working out and walking.

First, your Return Policy is AMAZING, the Speedgoat 6 runs smaller than the 5, so a 5 I wear size 9, a 6 a size 10, have been a Saucony user for 30 years, won't go back after using HOKA shoes.

I walk several miles in the evenings. This shoe is great for that.

Find it hard to understand some of the reviews on this shoe because they are so outstanding. Love the stiffer midsole and the volume that is perfect for my C width high instep foot. Will definitely be putting a few extra pair of these away for the long term. They are my favorite hiking shoe by far.

Speedboat has become my golf shoe.

Best version yet. Don't understand all the complaints. If you want mush for midsole, buy the Mafate Speed 4 or Zoom X Nikes. If you're a serious trail runner or mountaineer, and want a precise, nimble fit with excellent lockdown and traction, these are for you. More responsive than prior models and the platform is narrower. Toe box more forgiving. I had switched to Altras for 2 years because I got sick of Hokas narrow toe boxes but Altras just aint the same and the tox box of these is excellent. If you find these too firm, you're likely not running on terrain that justifies buying these because if you did, you'd find these plenty cush or you have some dainty, sensitive feet. These are best suited for any distance on rough, technical terrain, not buffed out flats. Switching back to Hokas for good!

Wore the soles off my speedgoat 5's so it was time to replace them. Tried the 6's and they feel very similar to the 5's which is exactly what I wanted

Bought for My 16 year old Grandson. He Loves Them

I did not like the shape and feel of previous iterations of this shoe on my foot. However, with the advent of the SG6, I have seen the light! I took it out on a couple 6 mile break-in runs both on road and trail and it felt planted, nimble and secure. This past weekend I took it on a 27 mile mission in the Eastern Sierra with 5600 ft of vert and it crushed everything from buff singletrack to tallus scrambling up steep ridges. I am now an official believer.

I'm happy with shoe

So far so good

Its a gift he likes it very much

Best running shoe I've ever owned.

Highly recommend.

I have used several Hoka running shoes. This one feels different. Hope it last longer than the previous once (3months) but definitely great for my knees. Comparable to On or Brooks but I have moved on and prefer Hoka only because they fit well and good on my knees

These are awesome for mountain running! They hold very secure on your feet and are highly stable and protective. The firmer foam means minimal energy loss when climbing equaling faster, easier climbs. Descending is a blast with plenty of bounce and high mileage protection for the legs. The only area that they may lack alittle is on the flats, but for a shoe named speedgoat, I don't think that is it's intended use case.

Purely a mistake, I ordered the wide version and I am so glad that I did. I trail run about 45-55 miles per week, and that's on fairly rough terrain, so I know a good trail runner and I think this version is pretty darn good! I'd still call my favorite SG the 4, and the 5's were good too, but the 6 is better than the 5 in my opinion. It is a little less cushioned, but still offers plenty of protection. The outsole is Vibram with good traction on most surfaces. It's a little slick on wet rock. All in all it's a great shoe! The color is the least of my concerns, but it is nice to see they've released some new colors. I can definitely recommend these!

I've bought three pairs and I'm totally satisfied with each pair. I can never go back to another brand. I'm totally sold.

All these people giving one stars because of color is ridiculous.. I've been running in Evo speedgoats.. speed goats 3 and 5 for years ... And this 6 is solid... Stiffer then what we've been used to but once you break them in ( 5-10 miles) they're solid! Go a half size up.. it helps! And I personally don't mind the color and can't wait to keep buying more pairs of these when a ton of new colors come out...

I started with version three, so far version 6 is my favorite. They are faster than their predecessors and more precise, so I feel much more confident during steep, technical runs than in fours or fives. p.s. this color looks great in real life.

Love the color. Not sure how anyone wouldn't love this color. Nice and bright. Garrish is more like it. But in a good way. LOL Thumbs up!
