Variants of this shoe
- Speedgoat 6 Mid Edition
Some shoes have multiple versions of what is essentially the same shoe, with variations in style or materials. We try to group these together. Retailers sometimes list a version number wrong, and our system can treat those mislabeled names as variants.
How it ranks
The HOKA Speedgoat 6 is one of the strongest trail shoes in our data. Cushioning and value are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 12 runner reviews and 6 other rated shoes in the Speedgoat product line.
Exceptional
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
93/100

“Great wide base for stability, less cushion for a more grounded connection to the trail”
“Toebox is a little tighter than previous model”
“Vibrum sole wears well”
“Great tread and super traction”
“Great turning radius — super durable”
