HOKA Speedgoat 7 GORE-TEX Trail Running Shoes - The GOAT for When Conditions Go Sideways

More than just a waterproof Speedgoat. The Speedgoat 7 GORE-TEX® uplevels materials and details for speed in brutal conditions, pairing a waterproof GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit membrane with rugged 100% recycled Cordura® upper and glove-friendly toggle lacing. Built on the same springy supercritical EVA midsole and Vibram® Megagrip outsole as the Speedgoat 7, finished with 360-degree reflectivity and an anti-odour sock liner.

GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit with Recycled Cordura®

A waterproof GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit membrane seals out water and wind without the stiff, heavy feel of traditional waterproof construction. Rugged 100% recycled Cordura® upper material adds durability for brutal trail conditions where standard mesh would suffer. Dynamic vamp in 88% recycled polyester and 100% recycled polyester heel pull webbing extend the sustainable construction throughout.

Springy Supercritical EVA Midsole

The same springy supercritical EVA midsole as the Speedgoat 7 delivers responsive, cushioned performance across technical terrain. This midsole maintains its lively character in wet and cold conditions where lesser foams lose responsiveness.

Vibram® Megagrip with Traction Lug

Vibram® Megagrip with Traction Lug and 5mm lugs delivers the trail-eating traction the Speedgoat is famous for, now with the confidence of waterproof protection in wet and muddy conditions. Gaiter integration loop allows easy attachment for the gnarliest terrain.

Glove-Friendly Toggle Lacing with 360-Degree Reflectivity

Toggle lacing allows easy adjustment even with gloves on during cold, wet missions — standard laces included for preference. 360-degree reflective details provide comprehensive visibility during low-light trail efforts. Moulded sockliner with Life Natural anti-odour top cloth keeps things fresh across extended efforts and back-to-back sessions.

Is the Speedgoat 7 GORE-TEX Right for You?

Built for trail runners who don't stop when conditions deteriorate. The GORE-TEX® membrane and Cordura® upper handle sustained rain and wet terrain without the weight penalty of older waterproof constructions. The supercritical EVA midsole and Vibram® Megagrip remain unchanged, this is the Speedgoat 7 in every way that matters for performance, with waterproof protection added for the days when the mountain doesn't cooperate. Toggle lacing solves the cold-fingers problem during winter trail runs without removing your gloves. 360-degree reflectivity covers the low-light starts and finishes that winter running demands. Anti-odour sock liner handles the reality of repeated wet-weather sessions. If the Speedgoat 7 is already your trail shoe of choice, the GORE-TEX version extends its range into conditions where the standard version would leave you wet and cold.
