Hoka One One Women's Speedgoat 7 Wide naisten polkujuoksukengät

I’ve really enjoyed these shoes so far. Four runs in and it is going splendid. Grips well with everything Ive thrown at it. I am concerned about long term durability. Hoka clearly missed the mark here. There is no universe where these will make it to 300 miles. They are super comfortable for my twice weekly 8-10k. Hoka needs to work on the durability problems with this next model in the Speedgoat 8. They also need longer laces to support runners loops, a lace holder in the tongue, and a slightly more padded tongue. Despite the critical feedback, I bought a second pair and wear them far more than my Altra Experience Wild 3+ and Lone Peak 9+. The grip is totally different, and so is the cushioning.

Was really happy with the grippiness and fit of Speedgoat 6, but the version 7 simply did not fit my feet. Great performance going up on a steep 8-mile hike, but coming down experienced toe bang almost immediately and had sore toes for a couple of days. A longer, steep descent would have been unbearable. Very disappointed since I really like Hokas for road-running, but just wouldn't have worked out. Surprised since I had no problems with Speedgoat 6. In fairness, I'm prone to toe bang on steep descents. Considered trying the wide version, but AI tells me it would not have made much difference.

Longtime Speedgoat user here. I loved the fit and feel of the 7s but the upper tore in the forefoot after only 2 days. They felt great but I had to return them.

I'm a big Hoka fan and have had many pairs dating back to the original Speedgoats. These just don't cut it. I just returned from a hiking trip in Moab and logged roughly 10-12 miles per day. Don't get me wrong, these are comfortable and I did buy a 1/2 size larger than what I normally wear but my foot was constantly jammed into the toe on downhill areas. I tried relacing / retying but it didn't help at all. Incredibly disappointed in the last two iterations of Speedgoats (6 and 7) as they are nowhere as good as their predecessors. They do have great grip so there's that but just can't handle having my toes hit the end of the shoe at the slightest downhill angle.

I absolutely love the Speed Goat 7 , and REi taking care of my feet on the trails .
