Is the Speedgoat 6 good for ultramarathons?

Yes. Its thick CMEVA midsole and protective toe cap are built for many hours on trail. The trade-off is weight.

How does it compare with the Speedgoat 5?

The 6 uses a new CMEVA midsole for more energy return and keeps the grippy outsole and toe bumper. Expect similar trail manners with a slightly livelier ride.

Can I run on pavement in it?

It works for short stretches, but the lugs feel clunky on flat hard ground. It is happiest on dirt and rock.

No. The shoe is not waterproof, so expect wet feet in rain or stream crossings.

What sizes and widths come in this listing?

The listing covers men's sizes around 8.5 to 12.5 and a wide (W) fit. Check the specific size before ordering.

Does the Speedgoat 6 fit true to size?

Some buyers say it runs true to size, but others find it runs small. Try your usual trail size and size up if you are between sizes.

What is the heel-to-toe drop and weight?

The drop is 5 mm, and the shoe weighs about 9.1 ounces in the women's version. It is light for its cushion but heavier than road racers.

About the Hoka Speedgoat 6

Women's HOKA® Speedgoat 6: The Women's HOKA Speedgoat 6 is a max-cushion trail running shoe built for neutral runners who want serious underfoot protection on technical terrain. Whether you're grinding through rocky singletrack, hiking a long mountain route, or putting in miles on uneven trails, the Speedgoat 6 keeps your feet comfortable and your footing confident. At 9.1 ounces with a 4 mm heel-to-toe drop, it strikes a balance between cushioned comfort and a relatively low, connected feel underfoot - a combination that works well across a wide range of trail conditions and distances.

The recycled content sandwich mesh upper is breathable and durable, keeping airflow moving while holding up to the demands of the trail. A gusseted tongue locks the fit in place so the shoe stays put even when the terrain gets unpredictable. Underfoot, a CMEVA midsole delivers long-lasting cushioning that holds up over high mileage without breaking down. The Vibram® Megagrip outsole with directional traction lugs gives you a secure grip on loose dirt, wet rock, and everything in between. The upper is made with vegan materials, so it's a solid choice for runners who care about what goes into their gear.

Why Our Fit Experts Love This Shoe

I put these on for a longer trail run with a mix of dirt and rocky sections, and the cushioning really held up through the whole thing. The Vibram® outsole gripped well even on some wet spots, and the gusseted tongue kept everything snug without any shifting. If you spend a lot of time on trails and want a shoe that feels protective without feeling heavy, this one is worth trying. - Rachel, Road Runner Sports Fit Expert, Carlsbad, CA
