FAQs
Are the HOKA Speedgoat 7 suitable for road running?
The Speedgoat 7 is primarily designed for trail running, featuring aggressive lugs for grip on varied terrain. While they can be used on short road sections, they are not optimized for road surfaces and may wear faster or feel less comfortable than dedicated road running shoes.
How does the new SCF midsole compare to previous versions?
The new SCF midsole in the Speedgoat 7 offers increased energy return, providing a more responsive and 'lively' feel underfoot compared to earlier models.
Can I attach any gaiter to the Speedgoat 7?
The Speedgoat 7 features gaiter integration points designed for compatibility with most standard trail gaiters. Check the specific gaiter model for confirmed compatibility.
How do I clean my Speedgoat 7 trail shoes?
Gently brush off dry dirt. Use a damp cloth or sponge with cool water for cleaning. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the primary benefit of the refined heel collar?
The refined heel collar is designed to enhance comfort around the ankle, reducing the potential for irritation and improving the overall fit.
What size should I order?
It is recommended to refer to the HOKA sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary. The UK 5.5 size is specified for this variant.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean of mud and debris. While designed for grip, extremely slick wet surfaces may still present challenges. Consider that aggressive trail treads may offer less surface area on completely smooth, wet rock compared to road shoes.
Heel slippage
Adjust lacing to ensure a secure heel lock. Try using the extra eyelets near the ankle for a more customized fit. Ensure you have selected the correct shoe size.
Discomfort in the heel collar
Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs. If discomfort persists, ensure the laces are not overtightened in the ankle area. The refined heel collar aims to improve comfort, but individual fit varies.
