Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Speedgoat 7 GORE-TEX is a high-performance hiking shoe designed for hikers and trail runners who require reliable traction and weather protection in challenging, wet, or muddy conditions. Its core strength lies in the integration of the waterproof GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane with a rugged, recycled Cordura upper, providing a seamless balance of durability and comfort. While it excels in technical terrain, users should be aware that the added protective layers make it slightly less breathable than the non-waterproof summer versions of the Speedgoat line.

FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for summer hiking?
While it can be worn in summer, the GORE-TEX membrane is optimized for wet/cold conditions and may be warmer than non-waterproof hiking shoes.
Can I replace the toggle laces with standard laces?
Yes, if you prefer a traditional lockdown, you can swap the toggle lacing for standard laces.
How should I clean the GORE-TEX membrane?
Use only cold water and a soft cloth or brush. Avoid detergents or soaps that contain softeners or optical brighteners.
Are these shoes true to size?
HOKA shoes generally follow standard sizing, but it is recommended to have a bit of extra room for toe splay on long-distance hikes.
What is the primary benefit of the Cordura upper?
Cordura is a high-tenacity fabric that offers superior resistance to tears and abrasions common on rugged trails.
Is this shoe machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the GORE-TEX membrane. Always hand clean with a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Foot feeling restricted in the toe box
Loosen the toggle lacing system to allow for more natural foot expansion during the hike.
Build-up of mud on the outsole
Tap the soles against each other or use a stiff-bristled brush to clear debris from the lug patterns to restore traction.
Water leaking into the shoe
Ensure the shoe tongue is fully closed and the toggle is tight; check for any punctures or debris inside the shoe that may compromise the waterproof membrane.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your HOKA Speedgoat 7 GORE-TEX shoes, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane and the foam midsole. Instead, wipe the exterior down with a soft brush or a damp cloth after each hike to remove grit and mud. If the interior gets wet, remove the sock liner and let the shoes air-dry in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. When fitting, ensure you have about a thumbnail's width of space at the front of the toe box to accommodate natural foot swelling during long hikes. For the best performance, pair these shoes with moisture-wicking technical socks rather than cotton, as this maximizes the effectiveness of the internal anti-odour and moisture management systems.
