Hoka Speedgoat 7

The HOKA Speedgoat 7 takes one of HOKA's most iconic trail running shoes and gives it a major performance update. Built for everything from everyday trail runs to long mountain adventures, it combines generous cushioning, dependable protection and aggressive grip for confidence across demanding terrain.

The biggest update is underfoot. For the first time in the Speedgoat series, HOKA introduces an SCF-EVA (supercritical foamed EVA) midsole, delivering a lighter, more responsive and energetic feel while maintaining the protective cushioning the Speedgoat is known for. With 37 mm of cushioning in the heel and 33 mm in the forefoot, there's plenty of protection for longer distances, while the 4 mm drop keeps the ride balanced and connected to the trail.

The upper has also been redesigned with a more durable and comfortable construction that securely wraps the foot. An updated heel counter improves lockdown and stability, helping you stay confident when navigating uneven and technical terrain.

Underfoot, the Vibram® Megagrip outsole features aggressive 5 mm lugs arranged to provide reliable traction across rocks, roots, mud, forest trails and loose gravel. The combination of grip, cushioning and protection makes the Speedgoat 7 remarkably versatile, whether you're moving quickly over technical trails or spending an entire day in the mountains.

For runners looking for one dependable trail shoe that can handle almost anything, the HOKA Speedgoat 7 delivers the cushioning, traction and durability needed to keep exploring mile after mile.
