Customer Reviews Hoka Speedgoat 6

Has great traction and durability but the forefoot is still a little narrow. The upper is made out of a stretchy material so there is some give. Compared to the Clifton the toe box feels shallow and less room to splay.

The fit of the shoes is odd and rubs my heel.

Actually after a couple of speedgoats Im happy to say the Cush is back. The color disappointed. Looks sand on the website. Looks more olive.

The shoe is excellent. I don't have a problem with the shoe. The issue that I have is it's not wide enough for me. I don't know if you make this shoe in a wide because it didn't have that option to choose

I absolutely love the responsiveness of the show but I ordered the wide and it is still extremely narrow at the arch of my foot. I came from the challenger 7 that never gave me blisters and the speedgoat absolutely destroyed the inside of my arch. Blistered bad with less than 25 miles total on the shoe.

These are comfy and fit great, but they are loud to walk in. They are loud enough that people have commented on it so keep that in mind.

Read a lot of negative reviews before purchasing the 6 and decided to give them a shot when I had chance to buy @ discount. I ran all 4 of 100's in SpeedGoat 5's right out of the box with nothing but success! Wore these 6's for a 25M training run with 5k of elevation gain. Last 3-5 miles my right foot was cramping and I never cramp! These shoes are MUCH firmer than my GOAT 5's and I thought I might like that @ 180lbs, but NO! They also felt a bit less stable because of the firmness. Today I tried them for a 70min HRZ2 cruise and my left calf was crampingI WILL NOT be running in these! Will use them for hiking as I prepare for my 200, maybe? I have 3 pair of 5's, but have moved on to Topo Ultra Adventure 4. They feel like my SG 5's, but with wider toe box which makes them more stable! Sad Day! Speedgoat has been my only trail racer!

I recently purchased a pair of Speedgoat 6's and have worn them on a few hikes. Overall, the shoe is okay, but I am disappointed when I compare them to the Speedgoat 5. I have had 4 pairs of Speedgoat 5's and used them primarily for hiking in rocky terrain in AZ. While I found the 5's not to be the most duarble shoe, they were far and away the most comfortable and I was willing to sacrafice the durability for the comfort. My expectation of the 6 was that it was going to be an upgrade to the 5, it was not. Please consider bringing back the Speedgoat 5.

It's definitely better than the 5 but it's not great. The Speedgoat Used to be my go-to trail shoe for me for my daily trail runs but the midsole just doesn't have the bounce, cushioning and responsiveness as other models. I wish hoka would give us some sort of supercritical foam update to both lighten the show and give it that pop it needs to compete. I've always loved this shoe line but there are other models within hoka that are way better ( mafate speed 4) other brands that are making similar shoes with much better midsoles and feel superior to this shoe.

The tongue is not long enough. The shoe also seems stiffer than previous versions. I would suggest trying another model over this particular model

I have several Hoka shoes (Arahi, Clifton), all in size 10.5. These Speedgoat 6 shoes in size 10.5 were too tight and I had to return them. Maybe a size 11 would fit but I chose to try a different model instead.

Shoes are great. Except they ship with shoe laces that are too short!

The SG5 was my first pair of Hoka shoes and they worked out ok, so I bought the SG6. I thought the tongue was short on the SG5, but it's even shorter on the SG6. I use all the eyelets when lacing my shoes and the tongue is barely under the laces. Received them today and as soon as I put them on, I felt the need to comment on this issue. Also, that part of the tongue is very thin and I'm definitely concerned it's not going to be comfortable. The tongue needs to be a bit longer and cushioned at the top. On a different note, I'm not lowering the score because of this, but the Hoka color schemes are one of the reasons I have not bought a pair in the past. They need to tone down the color brightness, reduce the number of colors and limit crazy patterns in my opinion.

Length seamed close to to advertised but width was much smaller.

1 use, stained with simply mood... Impossible to clean! I've used multiple products and was frustrating. Insoles cleaned with a brush and there's a damage in superior cloth matherial. I was expecting more from Hoka about $150+ value shoes but no.

I previously ran with Stinson on the trails, I loved this shoe for comfort and never had any issues with blisters on an ultra. However I found them extremely sloppy on mud and rocks as the grips were so small. Speedboat 6 I was hoping was the answer - Hoka seemed to be super comfy in Stinson so thought these with the grip would be perfect. They are quite a bit firmer which I can maybe get used too however I'm getting a lot of blisters on the sole which I've never had before - if I could put these grips onto Stinson I'd be sold

Too tight and need to return these. Otherwise great shoe.

Not Hoka shoe soft. Fit is also just ok, lacing is constantly pulling up the front and making it too tight.
