Favorite trail runner
RedtoShred5 years ago
I've hiked the Pacific Crest Trail in the speedgoat 3's and they're my all-time favorite trail runner. I've put well-over 500 miles on the speed goat 3's and they still provide that much needed cushion no matter what. I was excited when I saw the new colors of the 4's but hesitant since their are some reviews about the new tongue design. I can understand some people's complaints, because the new tongue is definitely thinner than any shoe I've seen, however I don't have any running socks that don't cover the area where the shoe's tongue would lay so I haven't had any issues whatsoever on even my longest runs. Typically a "short" run for me is around 10 miles and so far, I haven't even noticed the faintest rubbing. Maybe it's my socks, maybe it's the shape of my foot, but the speed goats will remain my favorite. I'd also like to note that I always buy a half size up in trail-runners to account for foot swell during hot days and long runs. Not sure if this also plays a part in not experiencing any rubbing but this could also be a factor in some people having issues.

Plastic Tongue Cut Open my ankles
Jojo5 years ago
Wish I'd read other reviews. After just my first run, the plastic tongue of these shoes thrashed my ankles. I've worn speedgoats for years and assumed maybe this was a fluke so I kept at it, trying to wear taller socks. But still, now 3-4 days in my feet are covered in gooey gashes. There's no way these were wear tested, awful awful design flaw.

Not a long-term trail shoe
4 years ago
We bought these shoes for my wife for casual hiking around the area about 5 months ago. She liked the fit and comfort but a couple of months ago found they were becoming frayed around the top and the tread was already wearing out. We cannot afford to buy this level of shoe every few months so she continued to wear them until she slipped on a rock and bruised her hip and jammed her shoulder. We purchased a pair of Solamans at the same time for me and they look like they're just getting broke in. These may be comfortable shoes but their short life span makes them very uneconomical.

Invisible Trail Gremlins
5 years ago
I really like the SG; this is my fourth pair. This new version fits a little larger than previous version but the bit of extra space has been ok. They get 4/5 stars because after a run I noticed a tear In the side of the sole, outside towards the back of the shoe. Don’t know how I got it but worry that the quality may be a little off. In nonCovid times I’d exchange them but right now it’s not worth the trouble. Hope it was just some invisible trail gremlin ☺️

Good until they fall apart
4 years ago
These are my first pair of Hoka trail shoes. I wear Hoka Bondi 6’s for work and they are great and last me about 6 months of 10 hour days on my feet. These, however, are NOT the same quality. I bought these 5 months ago and have worn them on maybe 6 hikes (probably a total of about 50 miles of wear) and they are falling apart. I’m returning and buying a different style of Hoka trail runners. These are NOT the quality I expect from them!

Best running shoes!
3 years ago
I am reviewing these about a year after purchasing them. These shoes are by far the best running shoes I have ever had. I have a high arch, and have had stress fractures in both feet. I do not run over 8 miles at once and only average about 10-15 miles a week (trail and road). I really love trying out new shoes and brands because I haven't really ever had a shoe/brand that I loved 100%. The Speedgoat 4 changed that for me! They feel so light on my feet, offer great support, and I have had no issues at all wearing these. 100% will continue to by these until I have found something better (I have had Brooks, Altra, and Asics running shoes in the past).

Disappointed in these shoes
3 years ago
I've had several pairs of Speedgoat Trail shoes before and these are disappointing, in comparison. The tongue is uncomfortable and poorly constructed, with fabric that bunches up. As a result, they don't seem to be of the same quality as the other pairs I have owned.

You will wear out before these shoes do!
4 years ago
I bought the Speedgoat 4 Trail Shoe because our family was going on a week-long hiking trip to 4 national parks in Utah. I tried on every traditional hiking shoe REI had before making my decision. It came down to comfort. My feet get really tired and cranky on long trails. Traditional hiking boots are heavy and clunky. The Hoka One One shoe is light-weight and comfy. We hiked for miles up and down rugged and rocky terrain. My feet felt great. I love these shoes. I even wear them at home now just for comfort.

Comfortable, but sole wears off
3 years ago
As a relatively slow runner, but one who prefers dirt roads and trails to super rocky terrain or blacktop, I really enjoy the stability and comfort these shoes provide. The toebox allows nice expansion for better balance and the cushioning is much appreciated in my joints. However, having put roughly 150 miles on them (mostly walking, some slow jogging), I am surprised to see the heel area of the sole wearing away to reveal a dirty looking spongey material. I've never had sneakers do this, normally the tread breaks down first. I'm not sure what the issue is.

Great Shoe for What I Needed
3 years ago
I just completed the Portuguese Camino de Santiago, 265 miles all told on varied trail types including paved roads, cobble stone, dirt and steep, rocky ascents and descents of mountains. I tested multiple trail hikers before I settled on the Speed Goat. Not waterproof but even in heavy rains and puddle jumping it was not a factor. For a lightweight shoe they held up well and the Viabrim sole was perfect in all conditions. My only gripe is the the lightweight material makes it hard to pop your heel in. I ended up using a Sporke as a shoe horn so no issue. I highly recommend this shoe for a trail hiker.
