Best Trail Shoe from Hoka yet

Traildoc John · Jan 14, 2020

5/5

Overall

Relatively light weight for a mid-max type of shoe with outstanding grip for more technical terrain. They were perfect for the UTMB-OCC 55KM mountain ultra. They are fine for mixed road-trail runs too.

Speedboat narrowest trail shoe

Anonymous runner · Jul 20, 2019

4/5

Overall

I was aware that speedgoats run narrow but not this narrow. Great traction and feel but needed to retype using only 2 holes to get any comfort. How about making a wide version?

5/5

Overall

Excellent shoe! True fit. Wide toe box. Good arch, but not stiff & hard. Low heel drop on high cushion shoe. Durable. Good on gravel, rock & pavement as well as muddy trails. Good traction on questionable surfaces. Super comfy on long (20+ miles) trail runs!!
