FAQs
What makes the Vibram® Megagrip outsole special?
Vibram® Megagrip is a high-performance rubber compound known for its exceptional grip and durability, especially on wet and dry surfaces. The addition of Traction Lug technology further enhances grip on loose terrain.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Speedgoat 2 combines trail performance with a design inspired by its heritage, making it comfortable and stylish enough for everyday casual wear and hiking.
How does the cushioning compare to other HOKA models?
The Speedgoat 2 features HOKA's signature compression-molded EVA foam midsole, providing substantial cushioning designed for impact absorption during long runs on varied terrain.
What is the benefit of the lay-flat gusseted tongue?
The lay-flat gusseted tongue is attached to the upper on both sides, which helps to keep debris out of the shoe and ensures a more secure, comfortable fit by preventing the tongue from shifting.
How do I clean mud off the shoes?
Use a soft brush to remove excess mud when dry. For a deeper clean, use cold water and a mild soap with a soft cloth or brush. Always air dry and avoid direct heat.
What is the intended use for the HOKA Speedgoat 2?

Is this the latest version of the Speedgoat?
The Speedgoat 2 is a re-release celebrating the shoe's heritage. While it features updated materials for enhanced grip, newer iterations of the Speedgoat line are also available with the latest technological advancements.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or cause hot spots.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points. The mesh upper will offer some give over time.
Reduced grip on certain surfaces.
Check the outsole for embedded debris or wear. Clean the lugs thoroughly. The Vibram® Megagrip is designed for optimal performance on trail surfaces; grip may vary on smooth, wet, or artificial surfaces.
Upper material feels stiff.
The mesh upper will soften with use. Wear the shoes for shorter periods initially to break them in gradually.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for trail running and general outdoor use. They are compatible with most types of trail terrain, including dirt, mud, rock, and gravel. They are not designed for road running or extreme athletic activities outside their intended scope.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Speedgoat 2 shoes:
- Cleaning: After runs, brush off loose dirt and debris. For a deeper clean, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as these can damage the materials.
