Product Information
Full details
The HOKA Speedgoat 7 GORE-TEX is designed for hikers and trail runners who require reliable performance in wet, unpredictable conditions. It provides the signature springy cushioning and aggressive traction of the standard Speedgoat 7 while integrating a waterproof membrane and durable recycled materials to keep feet dry and secure; however, the structured GORE-TEX construction may feel slightly stiffer than non-waterproof alternatives during initial break-in.

FAQs
Is the Speedgoat 7 GORE-TEX fully waterproof?
Yes, it features a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane designed to keep water out while maintaining a flexible fit.
Can I wear these for daily training?
Absolutely. They are excellent for long-distance trail training, though the waterproof membrane is best suited for cooler or wet conditions.
How do I adjust the toggle lacing system?
Simply press the release button on the toggle to slide the lock up or down, then pull the lace ends to secure the fit.
What is the benefit of the Cordura upper?
Cordura is a high-strength fabric that provides superior resistance to tears and scuffs, significantly increasing the lifespan of the shoe on rocky trails.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, trail shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the terrain harshness and your personal usage frequency.
Troubleshooting
Laces becoming loose during activity
Ensure the toggle is fully locked into the tensioning position and check that the lace guides are free of debris.
Inside of the shoe feels damp after use
If it is not raining, this is likely trapped perspiration; ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks rather than cotton.
Accumulation of mud in outsole lugs
Use a stiff brush or a stick to clear the lug pattern after heavy mud exposure to restore maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes maintain their performance, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them on shorter, dry walks for the first few sessions to allow the Cordura upper and midsole foam to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After muddy hikes, rinse the exterior with cool water and a soft-bristle brush. Avoid submerging the shoes in harsh chemical detergents.
- Drying: Air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can compromise the GORE-TEX membrane and adhesive bonding.
- Storage: Store in a cool, ventilated area to prevent bacterial growth and maintain the structural integrity of the anti-odour sock liner.
