Customer Reviews Hoka Speedgoat 6 GTX

The grip on loose, rocky trails is amazing! Better than several pairs of “proper” hiking boots I have. I live in Southern CA and our trails are gritty and rocky. I haven’t tested the waterproofing yet, but I choose these with Gortex to serve as walking shoes on rainy days and for vacation hiking. The heel is not as cupping as I would prefer. That’s the one star off - more of just a half star off really. They’re not slipping, just not quite as high on the heel as I would like. I’ve worn them for a bunch of six mile hikes and will reach for them next time. Feeling sure footed on steep slopes is fabulous!

This is my 3rd pair of Hokas so I felt confident that the size would be a good fit. I will be wearing them on a trek in place of hiking shoes and so far they feel great!

Runs small! I Usually go to a size 9, in an older model. I had to return to a size 9.5 and that was still too small! I gave up and went with another brand shoe. I do like this model, but this one ran super small. I believe they also have a Speedgoat 7 but I'm going to guess that it's prob going to run small as well. So if you are going to get them, size at least 1/2 size to a full size up!

I loved the design, but the comfort level was not there for a Hoka.

The speedgoat and challenger 7 fit completely diff . I’m finding that there’s a different model for every type of feet.

I own a previous model of the Speedgoat GTX, and this edition definitely runs smaller: narrower and not as tall top to bottom. When I put my orthotics in (which I use in the old pair), I could barely get my foot into the shoe. Incredibly tight. I tried a half size larger, and it did not help. I did, however, find the non-gore tex Speedgoat roomy enough.

I love the speedgoat 5 and have had 3 pairs. The speedgoat 6 is far narrower and has a smaller toebox. I wanted and needed this shoe for an England trip- i am very sad it didnt fit!!!!

I wear Hoka for my gym class and I really like it. I need a trail waterproof shoe for an upcoming trip in a wide size but this black is the only color available. I took the chance to try this on and see if I can live with the color. Unfortunately not! Fit is okay but the color is really dull for me. I wish they would offer Wide sizes in other colors. Sorry but I have to return this.

I really liked the appearance of these shoes, but they were, as other reviewers stated, an odd fit - kind of narrow even in a Wide size,especially across the top arch’s of my feet. Hoka, please make more gtx offerings nin WIDE!
