FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or just hiking?

While marketed as hiking shoes, they are built on the same chassis as the Speedgoat 7 trainers and perform excellently for trail running.

Can I replace the toggle laces with traditional laces?

Yes, the eyelets are designed to accommodate standard laces if you prefer a traditional tie method.

How does the fit compare to standard road running shoes?

The Speedgoat 7 generally follows HOKA sizing, but the GORE-TEX lining can make the forefoot feel slightly more snug than non-waterproof models.

Are these shoes considered vegan?

HOKA uses various materials in their construction; please refer to the product box for specific material composition if you have strict requirements.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the degradation of the waterproof membrane and synthetic materials.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty achieving a secure fit with toggle laces

Ensure the lace lock is fully engaged after pulling the cord to the desired tension. If it continues to slip, check for debris inside the toggle mechanism.

Feeling of dampness inside the shoe

Check that the shoe is not leaking from the top; water can enter if rain runs down your leg into the ankle collar. Consider using gaiters in heavy rain.

Shoe feels stiff out of the box

GORE-TEX membranes require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short, 30-minute walks to allow the materials to flex and conform to your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection via GORE-TEX technology
  • Highly durable recycled Cordura construction
  • Superior grip on technical and slippery terrain
  • Convenient toggle lacing system for on-the-go adjustments
  • Enhanced visibility with 360-degree reflective elements

Cons

  • Waterproof membrane may reduce breathability compared to mesh shoes
  • Toggle lacing system may not suit users who prefer traditional tie laces
  • Slightly stiffer feel than non-GORE-TEX versions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the most out of your Speedgoat 7 shoes, ensure you verify your fit; the GORE-TEX membrane creates a more structured feel, so wearing your preferred hiking socks when trying them on is essential. The toggle system should be tightened until secure but not restrictive to maintain proper circulation. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, which can damage the waterproof membrane. Instead, remove the insole and clean the exterior with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can degrade the adhesive and structural materials of the shoe.
