The Speedgoat 3 are trail running shoes from Hoka.
This real benchmark model is back in a new version. Inspired by the famous athlete Karl Meltzer, holder of the most ultra-trail wins, the Speedgoat generation 3 hasn't changed much in terms of character, but continues to evolve in terms of technical features. It features a new integrated gusseted tongue, designed in a very light mesh, which offers even more comfort than before, as well as a very light PU structure on the sides to increase stability.
This war machine of all distance technical trails has an improved heel support. The fit is even more enveloping, thanks to the PU side tabs mentioned above, which provides an incredible feeling of stability. However, the Speedgoat 3 is not any narrower and remains exceptionally comfortable. Hoka One One has also redesigned its stone guard, which is now stronger with a denser PU, to improve foot protection. This evolution is logical in view of the shoe's favourite playground, namely technical trails.
The rest of the shoe remains unchanged. The outsole is still equipped with deep, aggressive and multidirectional Vibram® lugs, which will give you an outstanding grip, no matter what terrain you are on. The cushioning is still one of the big advantages of this Speedgoat 3. Made possible thanks to a CMEVA block, it offers a perfect balance between comfort and dynamism, to increase your performance while pampering your feet over the longest distances.
The Speedgoat 3 are the perfect shoes for accompanying you on your most challenging trails. They are reliable and high-performing shoes thanks to a magical cocktail of lightness, grip, cushioning and comfort. Pure happiness for your feet.
