Hoka One One - Speedgoat 6 GTX - Trailrunningschuhe Gr 40 2/3 - Regular grau

Very well constructed and comfortable running shoe

They are a bit small (short), a bit narrow, and suffer from a fault common to goretex shoes - they're hard to put on. It has to do with the way the tongue doesn't move far enough forward to allow the foot to get past. They're also a bit too stiff for my taste, but I'm sure this is intentional - to provide better control on trails. They have much less cushion than I expected from a Hoka shoe.

My first hokas. Went to the PNW and put 50 miles on them. Held up well, have no complaints.

Amazing traction with the Vibram sole, and just the right amount of supportive cushioning. I’ve found other Hoka’s to have too much cushion and a sole that wears out in no time. This model is different. I didn’t need the GTX Goretex, but I’m sure it will help me next fall/winter.

I walked into REI to check out a couple pairs of shoes. I had no intention of buying a pair. I just kind of wanted to see what my shoe size was for boots and hiking shoes. I had an absolutely stellar employee walk me through his knowledge. I was going hiking in state Park in Virginia and I’m going to the Colorado flat irons next month. I was super curious if I should get a pair of boots or shoes and he helped guide me to these Hokas and after a 17 mile long hike, my feet and ankles felt amazing. I had maybe 15 pounds on my back. I just couldn’t stop talking about how much I enjoyed my shoes. They were amazing, made my feet feel like clouds. It made the experience so great while my friend was seeing their complaining about his toe because his boots weren’t doing him any favors, I was running around and jumping and having a blast. 10 out of 10 shoe. Will be buying another pair once these go out of style.
