Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Speedgoat 7 GORE-TEX is designed for dedicated trail enthusiasts who require reliable performance in wet and challenging terrain. By integrating a waterproof membrane with the signature cushioning of the Speedgoat series, this shoe provides exceptional comfort and stability for long-distance treks. While its rugged construction offers superior protection, users should note that the waterproof membrane may reduce breathability compared to standard non-waterproof mesh trail shoes during intense hot-weather activity.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
While designed for trails, the Speedgoat 7 is comfortable enough for road walking, though the aggressive outsole lugs will wear down faster on asphalt.
Can I replace the laces?
The toggle lacing system is integrated for convenience. While it can be replaced, it is designed for a specific fit and retention.
How often should I re-waterproof the exterior?
The GORE-TEX membrane is internal. However, applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the exterior fabric periodically will prevent the outer material from 'wetting out' and keep the shoe lighter.
Is the fit true to size?
HOKA shoes generally run true to size. If you plan on wearing thick wool hiking socks, some users prefer to go up a half size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the shoe. Always hand-wash gently.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during use
Verify that your pant legs are not channeling water into the shoe opening and ensure the toggle lacing is cinched correctly to close the gap at the tongue.
Feeling of excessive heat inside the shoe
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks to help manage humidity and sweat inside the waterproof lining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Speedgoat 7s maintain their performance, follow these care instructions:
- Breaking In: Wear your shoes on shorter, dry walks to allow the material to adapt to your foot shape before tackling longer treks.
- Cleaning: Remove loose mud and debris with a soft-bristled brush after each hike. If necessary, clean with cool water and a mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Drying: Air dry your shoes naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not place them directly on radiators, near fireplaces, or in direct sunlight, as excessive heat can deform the midsole foam or compromise the waterproof seal.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry environment. If they become soaked internally, stuff them with newspaper or a moisture-absorbing cloth to speed up the drying process.
