FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the new SCF midsole?
The new SCF midsole in the Speedgoat 7 significantly enhances energy return, providing a more responsive and dynamic feel with each step.
How does the Speedgoat 7 improve comfort?
The heel collar has been refined for improved comfort, and the overall cushioning system helps reduce fatigue on long runs and hikes.
Can I use these shoes for everyday walking?
While comfortable, the Speedgoat 7 is optimized for technical trail running and hiking. Its aggressive traction and responsive midsole may be more than necessary for casual walking.
How do I attach gaiters to the shoes?
The shoes feature a gaiter integration system. Refer to the specific instructions provided with your compatible gaiters for proper attachment.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The HOKA Speedgoat 7 is designed for breathability and drainage on trails and is not inherently waterproof. Water-resistant models may be available separately.
What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are ideal for technical terrain, including rocky paths, roots, mud, and loose gravel, where maximum grip and responsiveness are needed.
How should I clean my Speedgoat 7 shoes?
Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry. Avoid machine washing and direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system to find a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing the correct sock thickness for your trails. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size or width.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
While designed for grip, extremely slick surfaces can challenge any outsole. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud and debris. For very wet conditions, proceed with caution.
Debris entering the shoe
Utilize the gaiter integration system by attaching compatible gaiters. Ensure laces are tied snugly and the tongue is properly positioned.
