FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for waterproof conditions?
The product description does not specify waterproof capabilities. They are designed for trail hiking and may offer some water resistance, but are not guaranteed to be waterproof.
What is the primary difference between these and standard trainers?
These are hiking shoes, featuring a more rugged construction, enhanced grip for varied terrain, and trail-specific cushioning, differentiating them from standard trainers designed for less demanding activities.
How do I know if a UK size 13.5 is the correct fit?
It is recommended to consult a sizing chart provided by HOKA or measure your foot according to their guidelines to ensure the best fit for a UK 13.5.
Can the reflective graphics be removed?
The reflective graphics are integrated into the shoe's design and material. They are not designed to be removed.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these shoes?
For hiking, moisture-wicking socks made of merino wool or synthetic blends are recommended to enhance comfort and prevent blisters.
Are there other color options available?
This specific model is described as Black. Other variants or models within the HOKA Speedgoat line may offer different colorways.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on and then tied to a comfortable tension. If still tight, consider if the size is appropriate for your foot width.
Reflective elements losing effectiveness
Reflectivity may diminish with significant wear and tear or heavy soiling. Gentle cleaning as per care instructions can help maintain appearance.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While designed for grip, wet surfaces inherently reduce traction. Ensure the outsole is free of mud or debris which can impede performance.
