When only the best will do
Yes , I recommend this product
HOKA as a brand have become my first stop when looking for athletic shoes. While I’ve used many brands over the course of a fairly active life as a runner, triathlete and now a walker and gravel cyclist, these shoes fit me well and support indoor and outdoor activities that also includes just getting around in comfort. I don’t fully take advantage of everything this shoe will do, but it supports everything I want or need to do in comfort and style. It’s only money, and at this point in my life, continuing to be active and fit are a high priority

great performance, poor durability
Yes , I recommend this product
 I wore these for about 50 miles across two weeks. I ran in very soft and squishy mud and then hard in Rocky Arizona desert. They performed great and they felt great on my feet. But after cleaning them, I found that the tread was separating on the back of 1 foot and the front of another. It looked like it could’ve been a problem with the molding. I understand that the challengers also have an issue with tread coming off the back. I liked the shoe a lot so I am going to return them and try again.

Awesome trail and hiking shoe
Yes , I recommend this product
The Speedgoat 7 is much improved over the 6. The midsole foam is softer, the tongue is longer, and the sole is fuller. The upper has less stretch than the previous version, but it is still very comfortable.

Great first impressions but 1/2 size small.
Yes , I recommend this product
The shoes arrived today and I tried them on, first thing. Thin pair of Injinji socks, I wear a 10.5 in the Mafate X, so that’s what I purchased with these. They are running 1/2 size small, in my opinion. I like the way the shoe fits, and feels otherwise-it’s definitely a different feel than the Mafate X-not nearly as soft. I am going to REI on Tuesday and exchange these for size 11. I will update my review when I’ve had a chance to get outside and test the shoe for its intended use.

Like a real goat it is raised from the young for slaughter. Drifting aimlessly through the nether regions of yesterday, a wisp of sunshine over the horizon.
