Advice for Trail Runners: The HOKA Men's Speedgoat 6 Trail Running Shoes help you run on technical terrain with as much confidence as possible.
Underfoot Feel
The HOKA Speedgoat 6 Trail Running Shoes feature a light and responsive feeling midsole foam. This should make it easier to maintain your speed on challenging terrain. However, it's important to note the midsole also offers a lot of protection.
A Vibram MegaGrip with Traction Lug outsole inspires maximum confidence on both hard and soft ground - particularly when it's wet.
In a bid to take your grip to the next level, the 5 mm lug orientation and outsole pattern is inspired by the hoof of a goat. We can't guarantee that you'll be standing on the side of dams, but you'll feel the benefit of this design.
Upper Fit
One of the stand-out features in the upper is the dynamic vamp across the toe box. This is because the material can adapt to varying foot shapes and accommodate foot swelling - a common occurrence in ultras.
The HOKA Speedgoat 6 woven textile upper is made with an internal support chassis. As a result, your feet should feel more secure on uneven terrain.
Finally, a plush dual-sided gusseted tongue prevent debris from entering.
Ideal Run Type
You can use the HOKA Speedgoat 6 for a number of end uses. However, you're likely to get the most out of them when you're trying to move at a good pace on technical terrain.
We should add, these are also a great choice for longer distance events, such as ultras. Especially if you're covering a wide range of terrain.
You may want to opt for the HOKA Challenger Trail Running Shoes if you're running on less technical trails.

Sizing Advice
Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.
Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).
This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
