FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for hiking as well as running?
Yes, the HOKA Speedgoat 7 offers excellent support, cushioning, and traction, making them very suitable for hiking on technical trails in addition to trail running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should be snug but not tight.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
Yes, the Speedgoat 7 is designed to handle various conditions, including wet trails. The traction is optimized for grip, but extremely slick surfaces may still present a challenge.
What is the main difference in the Speedgoat 7 compared to previous versions?
The Speedgoat 7 features a new SCF midsole for enhanced energy return and responsiveness, a refined heel collar for improved comfort, and added gaiter integration. It maintains the trusted fit and traction.
How often should I replace my Speedgoat 7 trail shoes?
Trail running shoes typically last between 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or 6-12 months, depending on usage and terrain. Look for signs of wear such as compressed midsole cushioning or worn-out outsole treads.
Can I use these shoes for road running?
While they offer cushioning, these shoes are specifically designed for technical trail terrain. Their aggressive tread may feel less efficient and wear down faster on pavement compared to road running shoes.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort during initial wears.
This is normal for many performance trail shoes. Wear them for shorter runs initially to allow them to break in and adapt to your foot shape.
Debris entering the shoe.
Utilize the gaiter integration feature to attach compatible gaiters. Ensure laces are tied securely.
Reduced grip on wet, smooth surfaces.
While designed for technical terrain, extreme wet and smooth surfaces can challenge any tread. Ensure no mud or debris is caked on the outsole, which can also reduce grip.

Care:
- Cleaning: After use, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
