Popular shoe for hiking and trail running. This is one of the only shoe brands that I have to go wide in & half a size down compared to eg. ASICS so beware of buying unseen if you haven't worn HOKA before. Usually $290 and lots of sizes & a few different colours available, I rarely see the wide sizes go this cheap.
yeah not very impressed with my first (and probably last!) Hoka
it's alright, but started falling apart quite soon, in less than 2 years
might as well go cheaper in this case
this is a bad assessment for shoes.. or anything in life. some ppl run 150-200k a month, shoes would last about 6 months for them. 2 years is good for a pair if you run them regularly. i still have my speedgoat 5 since may 2023 and have been 750km. still going good when i want to do trail runs,
YMMV just saying that Hoka is over priced for what they are - in my opinion !
Some people will downvote you if you don't sing praises for their favorite brand/product.

Calculates intensively
It looks like I ran 0 KM in the last month decade.
I've had the speedgoat 2s and speedgoat 4s. Both have lasted circa 1500km. I run trails in the Perth Hills and Manning Park regularly and would rate the speedgoat almost unbreakable.
2 years! Damnnnn. That's thousands of km..
maybe just over a 1k my rough estimate ..
That's really good for a top end running shoe
Is there a chicken option ?
Nope, but if you switch colors and buy it at full price, its the sheep option.
Rather go for the vegan option and stick to my kayanos.
Yes. Looks a bit… ordinary.
But I find that Hoka in a wide (2E) fitting is the most reliably stable platform for my hard-to-please feet. Price is a challenge (as are some of the looks) but there you go.
Thanks OP.
The speedgoats are wider than the other hokas, might be worth trying in store.
Have put 383kms on these. Can be a bit firm but otherwise love them. I'll be running 50km on them in a few weeks.
People pay to wear that atrocity?
