Cushioning Level
Cushioning level, or stack height, refers to how much shoe is between your foot and the ground. For this category, we reference the amount of cushioning below the forefoot as the heel height will be equal to or greater than the forefoot height.
-
Barefoot
0-13mm. The Shoe generally does not have a midsole and feels like there is no cushioning. This shoe is all about feeling the ground underfoot.
-
Minimal
14-18mm. The shoe has a thin midsole that allows for a natural running experience. Racing shoes and minimalist shoes are common here. These shoes offer a feeling of being connected to the road or trail.
-
Low
19-23mm. The shoe has a slightly cushioned feel and may feature added cushioning technologies. Performance training shoes and some trail shoes are common here. These offer protection during footstrike but prioritize a lightweight, grounded experience.
-
Medium
24-28mm. These shoes have a stack height that fall near the middle of the spectrum.The shoes in this category are verstaile and great for all types of runs and distances.
-
High
29-34mm. The shoe has a thick midsole and ample cushioning. These shoes are highly protective and absorb more impact than the body.
-
Maximal
35mm plus. The shoe has an extremely thick midsole and extra cushioning. The focus is on protection and soft foam underfoot with hardly any ground feel.
Stability Level
-
Neutral Running Shoes
Neutral shoes support the foot through a normal range of arch collapse and generally do not have built-in technology to correct movement.
-
Stability Running Shoes
Stability shoes are a great option for those who overpronate or need added support. These shoes help to limit the inward rolling motion of the ankle while running or walking and assist in guiding the foot straight through the gait cycle.
Product Details:
The ‘Goat is back for round 6, and the HOKA Speedgoat 6 aims to be THE trail running shoe for everyone and any trail. It’s the quintessential HOKA experience of high levels of cushioning and confidence-inspiring traction and has the versatility to meet the needs of trail runners, hikers, and ultramarathon athletes.
Bearing the nickname of world-renowned ultrarunner Karl Meltzer, this perennial bestseller continues the proud legacy of its family line. The Speedgoat has always bundled a thick layer of foam and stellar outsole grip in a surprisingly lightweight package, and that formula has now been tweaked to be even more capable. So what’s new? The refined CMEVA midsole foam compound is tuned to give an even more nimble feel, while the updated internal chassis hugs your foot securely for added stability on rough terrain.
Linking you to the earth, the outsole features a revised lug orientation inspired by... a goat’s hoof, of course! Rest assured that the outsole retains its superb Vibram Megagrip rubber with Traction Lug technology, but the lug shape has been optimized with micro-serrations to increase surface area, traction, and stability. Matching the shoe connection to the ground, the new durable woven mesh upper secures the runner into the shoe while sporting a faster drying and lighter weight construction. A plusher lay-flat dual-gusseted tongue and heel loop pull are finishing touches that add to the shoe's refinement and all day comfort.
Altogether, the Speedgoat 6 comes in slightly lighter weight than version 5 and is beyond ready to be your trusted, highly cushioned, confidence-inducing companion for all your daily miles and adventures.
What You’ll Love:
- Generous cushioning
