The HOKA Speedgoat 6 Optimally Balances Cushioning and Traction

The HOKA Speedgoat 6 is the newest addition to HOKA's award-winning Speedgoat franchise and it delivers the features trail runners need for performance when training and racing. This well-balanced design provides cushioning and traction to support a smooth journey over challenging elements of rugged environments.

True to its name, the footwear design draws inspiration from the resilience and grip of a goat's hoof. With ultra-light CMEVA cushioning to the midsole and aggressive traction, HOKA calls its Speedgoat 6 "the lightest and most responsive Speedgoat to date." While a women’s size eight weighs in at 8.2 ounces, a men’s size 10 comes in at 9.8 ounces to offer exceptional performance on the trail for newcomers and experts alike.
