Speedgoat 3 Fit

When HOKA released the Speedgoat 2, it came with a wider base for increased stability and roomier toe box for a more comfortable fit. Those things remain the same in the Speedgoat 3.

The third version of HOKA’s popular trail running shoe keeps the stable foundation and wide toe box, but it gets a trio of other fit upgrades that make the shoe even better:

  • Improved midfoot lockdown in the upper secures you in the shoe’s sweet spot
  • HOKA Carbon X 3 Chaussures de Route pour Femmes en Radiant Yellow Camellia

One Cheap Urlfreeze Jordan Outlet tester put the Speedgoat 3 through the paces on wet roads and muddy trails. She said the shoe has, “Nice padding in the heel collar without being excessive, and the heel counter hugs my foot in a secure and comfortable way.”

HOKA also threaded thicker, textured laces through the Speedgoat 3 to help dial in the fit and stay cinched down.

A tall midsole stack height—a signature of Meet Hoka One Ones Zinal—again shines in the 3. The cushion was noticeable to Cheap Urlfreeze Jordan Outlet testers but was pleasantly firm, not mushy, and it offers solid protection from sharp rocks and gnarly roots. “Runners who mostly want to feel that cushion will love it,” one tester said.

HOKA used a high-traction Vibram MegaGrip challenger to hold on to the trail. The multi-directional 5 mm lugs bit into dirt and mud for superior grip and even performed well on wet roads. Plus, it didn’t pick up pebbles or get clogged with mud even on an especially squishy trail.

A side-by-side comparison of the HOKA Speedgoat 2 and HOKA Speedgoat 3

While HOKA didn't make any major changes to the Speedgoat 3 when they updated it from the Speedgoat 2, a few thoughtful alterations improve how the new trail shoe handles.

The oversized midsole and aggressive Vibram challenger are almost identical save for a few aesthetic tweaks. But the upper got a refresh.

HOKA added additional overlay supports to lock down your midfoot and installed a thicker seatbelt-like support on each side of the shoe to anchor the laces in the middle of the shoe.

The Speedgoat 3 weighs a hair more than the previous version — 8.2 oz to 9.1 oz for a women's size 7; 9.8 oz to 10.3 oz for a men's size 9 — but testers still felt like the shoe was primed to perform on rough terrain.

HOKA Speedgoat 3 Technology

HOKA loaded the Speedgoat with everything you need to tackle the trails. Here's a quick look at what's under the hood:

  • Oversized EVA midsole. It's the signature of Hoka running shoes: a fat, cushy midsole. The Speedgoat's cushion helps protect against sharp rocks and roots
  • Vibram MegaGrip challenger. zapatillas de running HOKA ONE ONE trail veganas
