Product Information

Full details

The HOKA Speedgoat 2 is designed for trail runners and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a reliable, high-cushion ride that blends archival 2017 aesthetics with modern performance. Its primary strength lies in the combination of a plush midsole and a highly durable Vibram Megagrip outsole, making it an excellent choice for technical terrain; however, users should note that as a re-released archival model, it may lack the specific specialized gait-correction features found in the absolute newest modern racing iterations.

FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Speedgoat 2 uses engineered mesh for breathability, so it is not waterproof and may absorb water during stream crossings or heavy rain.

Is the Speedgoat 2 suitable for road running?

While it can be used on roads, the deep lug design of the Vibram outsole is optimized for trails and may wear down faster on abrasive concrete surfaces.

How often should I replace these trail runners?

It is generally recommended to replace trail trainers every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity and harshness of the terrain you cover.

Can I use my own orthotic insoles?

Yes, the stock insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred for better arch support.

What does the 'Unisex' gender label mean for sizing?

Unisex sizing is based on standard men's sizing; women should typically size down by 1.5 to 2 sizes from their usual women's US size.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of slipping on steep technical ascents

Tighten the laces through the top eyelet to create a runner's loop, ensuring the heel is locked securely against the back of the shoe.

Midsole foam feels stiff in cold temperatures

Store your trainers in a room-temperature environment; the cushioning material is engineered to respond best at standard operating temperatures.

Accumulation of debris inside the shoe

Consider pairing the shoes with low-profile gaiters if you are running in particularly loose shale or dusty conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional grip on technical terrain due to the Vibram outsole
  • High-level cushioning minimizes joint impact during long runs
  • Distinctive aesthetic that stands out in the HOKA lineup
  • Durable upper construction resists trail wear and tear

Cons

  • Not intended for high-speed road racing or gym-specific training
  • The chunky sole may feel less precise on extremely narrow, technical singletrack
  • Limited to the specific design language of the 2017 archive

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your Speedgoat 2 trainers, ensure they are laced with a 'runner's loop' if you experience heel slippage on steep climbs. The shoe fits true to size, but consider using the extra eyelets for a more secure lockdown on technical descents.

Care Instructions:

  1. Remove loose dirt or mud with a soft brush after every trail outing to prevent grit from damaging the mesh.
  2. Hand wash using a mild detergent and lukewarm water if the shoes are heavily soiled.
  3. Air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the midsole foam.
  4. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as the heat and agitation can compromise the bonding of the protective webbing.
