Hoka Trail Running Workhorse Trainer: Explore Gnarly Terrain with Boosted Performance

The Speedgoat is more than just a revered model among Hoka fans – it’s a symbol of excellence, earning its “GOAT” nickname from its legacy as one of the best trail running shoes of all time. But what makes this sixth generation of the Speedgoat so remarkable? For starters, it’s freakishly fast and agile, tackling even the most daunting trails with ease, just like its namesake mountain goat.

And now, thanks to a new Gore-Tex variant, the Speedgoat 6 is more equipped than ever to handle extreme conditions. The question is, what exactly does that mean for trail runners?

Meet the Speedgoat 6 GTX: A shoe that’s all about performance, versatility, and grip. Launched in 2015, the Speedgoat has always been a game-changer in the world of trail running. Unlike Hoka’s more cushioned road shoes, the Speedgoat is designed to be lightweight and responsive, giving you a sense of connection to the trail.

And speaking of connection, have you ever seen a mountain goat’s foot? That’s exactly what Hoka was inspired by when designing the outsole of the Speedgoat 6. The 5mm lugs may look intimidating, but trust us, they provide serious grip and traction on technical terrain.
