FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The standard Speedgoat 7 is designed for maximum breathability; it is not classified as waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
While technically possible, the aggressive lugs will wear down very quickly on pavement and may feel unstable.
How should I clean my HOKA hiking shoes?
Hand wash with a mild soap and a soft brush, then allow them to air dry at room temperature.
What is the primary upgrade in this version?
The Speedgoat 7 introduces a new SCF midsole for improved energy return and a refined heel collar for better comfort.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Speedgoat series is known for a performance-focused fit. If you require extra width, look for specific wide-width (EE) models.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the heel area
Ensure the heel collar is properly seated and adjust the lacing pattern to provide a more secure lockdown.
Excessive debris getting into the shoe
Utilize the built-in gaiter integration points to attach a compatible trail gaiter for a more effective seal.
Loss of traction on trail surfaces
Check the outsole lugs for packed-in mud or debris and use a stiff brush to clear the spaces between lugs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Speedgoat 7s, start by checking the fit; ensure there is adequate room in the toe box while the heel feels securely locked. When using in extremely rugged conditions, attach your preferred gaiters using the integrated points to minimize debris entry. After your hike, remove mud or dirt by gently rinsing the exterior with cool water and a soft brush; avoid using harsh detergents or heavy machinery, as this can degrade the midsole foam. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to maintain the structural integrity of the upper materials.
