The heel was much too wide; loved the color and they felt good, but the heel slipped up and down.

The shoe felt tighter than my Speedgoat 5 I bought last year. I also was not fond of the color.

I've been buying hookers for the past four years my last purchases 2024 until the present I noticed very poor workmanship souls are only lasting a month and I'm not a runner. It's too bad because I love the comfort and fit and something has definitely changed with the quality.

I have the speedboat 3 and 4 and like them alot. But the 6 is too narrow and feels too tight even though I got a size larger. Runs small. Returning them

Have worn Hokas for years. The Speedboat 5 is a perfect shoe. This upgrade has a stiffer sole and less arch support than its predecessor.

Cool shoes. But my toes are perfectly straight and the HOKA toe box tapers a bit. My big toe rubbed against the show enough to feel uncomfortable. I tried my regular size and the next size up. I will see about the wider version.

Shoes are good but the soles are extremely stiff and little arch support. Definitely can be improved upon.

FEELS BUILT FOR SPEED BUT NOT STABILITY WHICH IS IMPORTANT ON TRAILS.
SHOE LACES DO NOT STAY TIED AND MUST BE DOUBLE-KNOTTED
COLORS ARE GREAT

Very narrow. Also runs a bit short. Have several other pairs of Hokas. The fit on these is awful. They are at least 1/2 size short and run narrow through the forefoot. Not much in way of padding either. Look just like the picture.

The Speedgoat didn't provide enough stability for me. It also seemed like it had a shorter tongue which in turn made it more difficult to put on. I have returned them and will be getting another pair like I have.

I loved my speedgoat 5s and thought the 6s would be just as great. I found these much stiffer than the 6s in the sole and the sewn in tongue doesn't allow for much flexibility to get a comfortable tight/looseness. I had major pain on my first metatarsal that lingered after my runs. When I switched back to my worn out 5s, no pain at all.

The width is good, but my forefoot gets painful like there isn't enough sole on it. The arch is good. I use them for hiking/walking and treadmill.

I so like the fit of mafata speedboat 4 better!! The 6 is wider on the outside of the shoes. Though I do admit the tread on the 6 is better. I tried to buy the 4 but can't find any in my size women's 10. So if you have any in the back storeroom I'd be interested in paying a pair ?

Straight to the point. Bought these shoes for our twelve year old son. Wanted another pair of hiking tennis shoes for summer. Unfortunately, within two weeks, the siding material starts to peel away. Mesh around two box forming small holes.
As parents, we understand kids are hard on stuff. However, for the price tag of a nice trail hiking shoe, I was hoping it would be different. Instead, watching your money end up in shreds.
Since I've hiked in HOKA shoes through two Oregon sections of the PCT, plus hiked & archery hunted in them, they did great. My expectation was too high.

I love love love my Speedgoat 5 shoes very much for their flexibility, cushioning, and traction; and I have run them ragged on the trails. I was excited to try the Speedgoat 6 to replace my well-used 5's, but the 6's are so much stiffer and feel so much harder underfoot that I cannot bear to run in them. Toe box feels a bit too narrow also. I really value a FLEXIBLE, cushioned trail running shoe, and Speedgoat 6 is not it, I am sad to say. Returning them.

Can't even believe this is a Speedgoat shoe! My husband and I loved the 4 version, but were extremely disappointed with the 5 -- it was much narrower, much stiffer, less cushioned and didn't have the performance feel at all. Thought I'd try this 6, since it is on a great sale price, but it's pretty awful. The width is better than the 5, but that's where it ends. The whole shoe is unbendable, just a stiff board. The cushion, if you call it that, is very firm feeling underfoot and not at all like a true Hoka. The inside isn't comfortable, either, my feet hurt on the bottoms after barely 5 minutes of house-walking in them. These just are nothing like the original Speedgoat and its intentions.

I never leave reviews, but the speedgoat 6's are so absolutely terrible. I loved the speedgoat 5 so much. It was cushiony and stable, so I ordered the same size (5.5 Wide) in the 6's. The speedgoat 6's are so narrow and different from previous sizes that it actually makes my feet hurt and ache while running. Even the wide size is way too narrow. I can't even send them back because it's been over 30 days but this makes me never want to buy them again. I have a useless shoe that I paid way too much for.

I tried 2 sizes of this shoe - 8 and 8.5. The 8 was too tight and short and the 8.5 was waaaaaay too loose - especially in the heel. There's no way to lock this shoe down for me.
I know a lot of other people don't like the tongue on this shoe - I actually like it, but it's too short. The V should come up closer to your ankle.
I'm about to give up on Hokas unfortunately.

The 6 tongue is too short and toe box is narrow. I have worn a 10W since with the Speedgoats for the last 5 years. This is the first time my feet get torn up. If they recreated the 5s with the loop in the back to slip on easier, we'd be back in business. Hurry up and bring on the 7s AKA 5s again.

I backpacked in these and roughly averaged 11-12 miles a day over 4 days. My Speedgoat 5's are worn out so I was hoping for the same fit from the new 6. The fit was just okay but I didn't feel the cushion and overall good support as the 5. They were more "hard" than "soft" in the way they made my feet feel. As a matter of fact my right heel suffered my first ever intense blister and I relaced and relaced several times. So bummed and now the blister healing begins. I am returning them on Monday.
