help HOKA Speedgoat 7 FAQ
What is the drop on the HOKA Speedgoat 7?
The HOKA Speedgoat 7 features a 5mm heel-to-toe drop, which is slightly lower than the traditional 8mm drop seen on earlier Speedgoat models. This design encourages a more natural midfoot strike during steep trail descents.
How does the HOKA Speedgoat 7 handle wet trail conditions?
It utilizes a Vibram Megagrip outsole with aggressive Traction Lug patterns to grip wet rocks and muddy terrain. This outsole configuration significantly improves traction over the previous generation on highly technical trails.
Does the HOKA Speedgoat 7 come in a wide width?
Yes, the Speedgoat 7 is available in standard, wide, and extra-wide options for both men and women. This makes it a highly accommodating trail shoe for ultrarunners who experience foot swelling during long-distance events.
What type of foam is used in the HOKA Speedgoat 7 midsole?
HOKA redesigned the midsole of the Speedgoat 7 to use a lighter, more responsive compression-molded EVA foam. Combined with an active foot frame, it provides plush cushioning while keeping the heel securely cradled for stability.
