Get My Personalized MatchWhy the HOKA Speedgoat 7 Works
New supercritical EVA midsole delivers noticeably more energy return than the prior CMEVA compound, HOKA's biggest Speedgoat foam upgrade to date
Vibram Megagrip outsole with a redesigned lug pattern for improved traction on technical and loose terrain
J-Frame technology guards against overpronation without overcorrecting a neutral gait
Refined heel collar with added padding and a longer tongue improve lockdown and reduce upper-foot pressure
Gaiter attachment hooks and a static, non-stretch upper mesh keep debris out and maintain fit over long miles
