New Womens Speedgoat 6 Women Running Shoes|Hiking Footwear

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

A true all-rounder, the Hoka Speedgoat 6 is built for runners and hikers who need a shoe that performs seamlessly on roads, trails, and technical terrain.

We recommend sizing up half a size in this shoe.

Hoka says: 

There’s only one GOAT on the trail. And this is it. Combining HOKA’s tried and true cushioning with aggressive traction and ultralight materials, the Speedgoat 6 was born to tame the trail. A workhorse for technical terrain, this recent reissue was refined with a breathable woven textile upper, foot-hugging internal chassis, plusher dual gusset tongue, and revised lug orientation inspired by the hoof of a goat (what else?)

Our Verdict

The Hoka Speedgoat 6 refines everything great about its predecessor, making it a versatile choice for trail runners and hikers. It easily handles various surfaces, from roads and hard-packed trails to more technical off-road terrain.

The updated CMEVA foam midsole feels lighter and more responsive, offering durable and comfortable cushioning without feeling overly soft. The newly designed woven upper provides a snug, breathable fit that adds durability and support. Paired with the Vibram Megagrip outsole and improved lug pattern, the Speedgoat 6 delivers excellent traction on rocky paths, loose gravel, and wet surfaces, though it’s not as strong in deep mud.

Weighing just 246g (women’s UK size 6), it’s lighter than the Speedgoat 5 and generally fits true to size. However, if you have wider feet or plan to take on ultra-long runs with lots of descents, sizing up could be a good idea to allow extra room in the toe box.
