We recommend sizing up half a size in this shoe.

Hoka One One says: 

A grippy, responsive ride for technical terrain. 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 GTX is a trail-running powerhouse designed for technical terrain, blending comfort with aggressive traction. It remains lightweight at just 276g per shoe (UK8.5) without sacrificing durability. With a Vibram® Megagrip outsole and deep  5mm lugs, it grips confidently on wet, rocky, and muddy trails, ensuring stability on tricky surfaces.

The GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane provides reliable waterproofing without compromising breathability, making it a strong choice for unpredictable UK weather. The new woven upper enhances comfort and support, while the cushioned midsole, with its MetaRocker™ technology, offers a smooth, responsive ride, especially over longer distances.

The plush dual gusset tongue and bolstered heel collar improve foot security, and the protective toe rand shields against knocks on rough terrain. Its vegan-friendly design and recycled materials make it a more sustainable option for environmentally conscious hikers.
