The main inspiration for the Speedgoat model, which is specifically designed for endurance running on technical terrains, is the legendary American ultramarathon runner Karl Meltzer. Meltzer, who holds the record for the most wins in 100-mile races, embodies the mindset of "go everywhere, run everywhere." The updated sixth version of the Hoka Speedgoat features a Vibram Megagrip rubber outsole with 5mm lugs that is highly abrasion-resistant, while also offering excellent grip thanks to its aggressive profile. The upper part is made of double jacquard mesh fabric, providing lightweight and excellent breathability, and is made from recycled materials. This material also ensures excellent moisture-wicking properties, keeping your feet fresh and comfortable even on the longest runs. Another advantage of the new Hoka Speedgoat 6 is the reinforced toe area, which significantly enhances the durability of the running shoes.
