Here’s a tabular information on Hoka Speedgoat 6, which we have compiled for your better understanding.

The Innovation Dilemma:

When we wait for the next edition of a successful shoe series like the Speedgoat, we are often worried about whether they are going to change anything.

Basically, whether the successor shoe is going to be an upgrade or not.

We can confidently affirm to you that, Hoka Speedgoat 6 has firmly attempted to innovate itself and be an upgrade over its predecessor and has passed with flying colours.

It is much more comfortable, durable, and responsive.

The Breathability Issue:

Although the Hoka Speedgoat 6 is quite breathable, if you compare it to its previous editions in the Speedgoat series, it’s more or less the same.

Even if it is not an upgrade, it is not a downgrade either.

Pros and Cons:

  • Stability: 

Considering stability is an important technical factor for trail running shoes, Hoka Speedgoat 6 excels in providing stability.

  • Durability:

 The Hoka Speedgoat 6 can withstand quite a good amount of use. You can expect it to last for a long period and thus, durability is one of its biggest strength

  • Performance:

The shoe is extremely comfy, so you should not worry about performance. Its energy return is also definitely praiseworthy.

The Speedgoat 6.6 shoe’s lightweight midsole and high foam content make it surprisingly nimble and easy to navigate trails. The Speedgoat trail running shoes, featuring a Vibram Megagrip outsole, offer superior grip on wet and dry surfaces, surpassing most other trail runners.

  • Breathability:

The Hoka Speedgoat 6 has decent breathability. But people might expect a bit more, as they have higher expectations.

  • Pricey:

Just like most Hoka products, the Hoka Speedgoat 6 has been deemed pricey considering it is a trail running shoe. However, considering its features, it is worth every penny.

The Hoka SG6 expresses disappointment with the high 38mm stack in the New Balance Rebel V4, which has significantly changed the shoe’s feel from a sports car to a luxury sedan. They suggest that Hoka should bring back shoes like the Mach 5 for the road and a trail version, catering to customers who prefer a lower-to-ground, sporty feel.

I loves Speedgoats since SG2, but has a complaint about the durability of the outsole. After 150 miles, their heel lugs have almost disappeared, affecting their running style. They suggest a tougher outsole for improved durability.
