Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Speedgoat 7s, start by testing the fit with the specific hiking socks you intend to wear. The toggle lacing allows you to dial in your lockdown; ensure the tension is even across the top of the foot to avoid pressure points. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the GORE-TEX membrane and structural adhesives. Instead, clean the exterior with a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to remove dried mud after every hike. If the interior gets wet, remove the sock liner and air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the midsole foam.
