A GUIDE TO THE HOKA SPEEDGOAT

If you’re looking for a shoe that can handle rugged trails without losing out on comfort, the HOKA Speedgoat is ready to lead the way. Nicknamed the “GOAT” for good reason, this trail running shoe is a workhorse that’s built to give a grippy, responsive ride across the most technical terrain.

Blending our signature cushioning with aggressive traction and ultralight materials, the latest iteration, the Speedgoat 6, was designed to help you move fast and feel confident on every mile.

The Speedgoat 6 has been refined with a host of updates that will bring a smile to trail runners and hikers. You’ll notice a lighter, more responsive midsole compound that feels snappier underfoot while cutting down on weight. The breathable woven textile upper not only keeps your feet cool but also wraps them in a comfortable, foot-hugging fit. An internal support chassis locks down your midfoot for extra stability on uneven ground, while the dynamic vamp provides a little more give up front, so your toes can splay naturally as you run or hike.

HOKA is known for plush cushioning, and the Speedgoat 6 doesn’t disappoint. This version features a symmetrical bed of cushion that absorbs impact without relying on extra stability gadgets. The result is a hiking shoe that feels soft underfoot but still bouncy enough for a quick toe-off when you want to pick up the pace. Whether you’re cruising along a smooth trail or tackling steep climbs, the Speedgoat’s protective cushioning keeps fatigue at bay.

The Speedgoat 6 GTX is a waterproof running shoe built to tackle wet conditions head-on, thanks to a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit waterproof membrane that keeps your feet dry without adding bulk or stiffness. This design feels lighter and more flexible, reducing pressure points on long, soggy adventures. Underfoot, the Vibram Megagrip outsole with Traction Lugs grips loose, muddy terrain with confidence, while the foot-cradling heel bolster and responsive midsole deliver secure comfort and agile cushioning. A protective toe rand rounds it all out, so you can charge your way through rain, puddles, and rough trails without a second thought in this women’s HOKA Speedgoat.

The HOKA Speedgoat 6 weighs in at just 277.83 grams, making it a light trail shoe packed with cushioning and support. It has a 5 mm heel-to-toe drop, striking a balance between natural foot movement and protection. Designed with a symmetrical bed of cushion, the Speedgoat 6 offers a neutral, moderate stability platform that supports your stride without relying on extra corrective technologies. The cushioning is responsive and protective, giving a smooth toe-off when you want to pick up speed while still feeling plush enough for long days on the trail.

One standout feature of the is the Vibram Megagrip outsole with revised Traction Lugs inspired by the shape of a goat’s hoof. This aggressive tread pattern bites into loose dirt, slick rocks, and wet roots, giving you secure footing wherever you roam. A protective toe bumper shields against stubs and debris, adding peace of mind when the trail gets technical.
