FAQs

What is the primary intended use for the HOKA Speedgoat 2?

The HOKA Speedgoat 2 is designed for trail running and hiking, offering excellent grip and cushioning on varied and technical terrain.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Your toes should have about a thumb's width of space at the end when standing. The shoe should feel snug around the heel and midfoot without any pressure points or excessive movement.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The HOKA Speedgoat 2 features an engineered mesh upper which is water-resistant to some degree but not fully waterproof. They are designed for breathability, which means they will allow some water in during heavy rain or submersion.

What does 'archival geometry' mean?

It means the shoe is built using the original design and shape specifications from when it was first released in 2015, offering a familiar feel for those who liked the earlier versions.

How should I clean mud off these shoes?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove loose dirt. For more thorough cleaning, use cool water and mild soap, then air dry away from heat.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to use your own custom orthotics or aftermarket insoles if desired.

How durable is the Vibram Megagrip outsole?

Vibram Megagrip is known for its excellent durability and high-performance grip on both wet and dry surfaces, making it suitable for rugged trail use.

Are there newer versions of the Speedgoat available?

Yes, HOKA has released subsequent versions of the Speedgoat line that incorporate newer materials and design updates. This model specifically refers to the 2015 iteration.

Troubleshooting

Reduced traction on wet surfaces.

Ensure the Vibram Megagrip outsole is clean. Mud or debris can impact grip. If the issue persists, the outsole may be worn and require replacement of the shoes.

Discomfort or rubbing during hikes.

Check that the shoe size is correct and that laces are tied appropriately for a secure but not overly tight fit. Consider wearing thicker hiking socks. If persistent, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape.

Upper material feels stiff.

The engineered mesh may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially to allow the material to conform to your foot.

Reflective elements are not visible.

Ensure the reflective webbing is clean. Dirt can obscure the reflective properties. The effectiveness is also dependent on an external light source.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent traction on diverse terrain thanks to the Vibram Megagrip outsole.
  • Durable construction suitable for rugged hiking conditions.
  • Enhanced visibility in low light with reflective elements.
  • Comfortable and breathable upper materials.
  • Classic HOKA cushioning for long-distance comfort.

Cons

  • As an archival model, it may lack the latest technological advancements found in newer versions.
  • The 'Dark Roast' mesh, while durable, might be less breathable than some modern materials in extremely hot weather.
  • Limited color options compared to current models.
  • Fit may vary for those accustomed to more recent Speedgoat iterations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These hiking shoes require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for optimal fit and comfort.

Compatibility: The HOKA Speedgoat 2 is designed for outdoor trail running and hiking. It is compatible with most types of hiking socks. For enhanced performance on specific terrains, consider pairing with appropriate insoles if desired, though the shoe's internal cushioning is generally sufficient.

Care: To maintain your HOKA Speedgoat 2 hiking shoes:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use cool water and a mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as these can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and retain their shape during the drying process.
  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp or humid conditions.
