FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, the waterproof GORE-TEX membrane and rugged Cordura upper provide excellent protection against snow and slush, though they are not insulated for extreme sub-zero temperatures.
How do I adjust the toggle lacing?
Simply push the spring-loaded button on the toggle to loosen or tighten the cord to your desired tension, ensuring even pressure across the bridge of the foot.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and the shoe's structural integrity. Always hand-wash with mild soap and water.
Is the sizing consistent with other HOKA models?
Generally, yes, but because the GORE-TEX membrane provides a slightly more structured feel, some users prefer to go up a half-size if they intend to wear thick hiking socks.
Does the anti-odour liner need special care?
The liner is designed to resist odours naturally. You can maintain it by removing the insole after hikes to let it air out completely.
Troubleshooting
Laces loosening during use
Ensure the toggle is fully locked into the tension mechanism and tuck any excess cord into the storage loop if provided.
Internal dampness after long use
While the shoe is waterproof, perspiration can accumulate; wear moisture-wicking socks to assist with internal humidity management.
Sole grip feels slippery on wet rock
Clear any caked-on mud from the outsole lugs using a brush, as debris can prevent the rubber from making full contact with smooth surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Speedgoat 7 hiking shoes, verify that the fit allows for a thumb’s width of space at the toes to accommodate foot swelling during long hikes. To clean, remove excess dirt with a soft brush and rinse with lukewarm water; avoid using harsh detergents as they can degrade the waterproofing membrane. Always air-dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the midsole cushioning or damage the waterproof lining.
