[ See below for Hoka Speedgoat 2 videos, sizing instructions and size chart ]
LOOKING FOR THE NEW HOKA SPEEDGOAT 3?HOKA ONE ONE SPEEDGOAT 3The men's Hoka Speedgoat 2 is designed to attack technical trails. It is the weapon of choice for trail running legend Karl Meltzer, who holds the record for the most 100-mile trail race wins and the fastest completion of the (2,190 mile) Appalachian Trail. The UTMB has inspired design and development of the Speedgoat 2, the shoe having to handle a wide range of conditions from rolling, single track trail at low altitude, all the way up to very challenging alpine terrain at high altitude. This fully redesigned version of the original Speedgoat now has improved grip, fit, stability, and durability. The midsole is wider, creating a more stable platform for the foot and the toe box is wider too with a reinforced area at the front for added toe protection. The outsole has a deeper, more aggressive Vibram® outsole with 5mm deep multi directional lugs for maximum traction on all kinds of rugged terrain in all conditions including downhills. The engineered upper has an open mesh that maximizes breathability and support, with a midfoot cage construction designed for stability and to lock the foot in place. The Hoka One One Speedgoat 2 is a fast, tough & durable trail and possibly the ultimate ultra distance running shoe.

TECHNOLOGY
Hoka One One has engineered a unique performance midsole geometry that features a higher volume, softer density, and greater rebounding foam than standard running shoes. Along with maximal cushioning, this provides runners of all types with an energizing, stable ride. Hoka One One understood from the beginning that natural foot motion was extremely important for uniformity of stride. Hoka One One running shoes incorporate minimum drop geometry along with a rolling rocker design to promote consistent rhythm in the runner's foot strike.
MIDSOLE VOLUME
Engineered Oversized midsole volume that can be up to 2.5X the volume of performance specific foam material in the midsole compared to standard running shoes.
Benefit: Great shock attenuation, a sense of weightlessness, and inherently stable ride which is designed to reduce the fatigue in your feet, legs and core.
META-ROCKER
The Meta-Rocker midsole geometry, specifically engineered with a low heel-toe differential encourages a guided foot gait cycle. Benefit: Designed for active recovery by supporting a runner’s form and efficient running mechanics. ACTIVE FOOT FRAME Uniquely engineered Active Foot Frame midsole geometry allows the foot to sink into the shoe, as opposed to sitting on top. Benefit: Designed to provide integrated stability which is adaptable to a wide range of feet running styles. HOKA SIZING
Step 1: Take a sheet of paper, put it on the floor, one side against a wall.
Step 2: Put your naked foot on the paper, with your heel against the wall and mark with a line the extremity of your foot.
Step 3: You now just need to measure the length from the border to the line you drew.
And then check your result in the chart below to know your Hoka size.
SIZE CHART
Note: If your SIZE MM measurement in millimetres approaches a size borderline on the Hoka size chart, take the size above. e.g. if you measure as 262mm, then select size 8.5 UK, 9 US M, 10 US W, 42 2/3 EU. If you like more toe space, take the next size up again

Hoka One One Speedgoat 2 Demonstration Video
Running in Hoka shoes is like nothing you’ve ever experienced, and it’s something you’ll never forget. Unlike shoes that produce a hard or rigid feeling, Hokas offer up luxurious softness and a sensation of weightlessness. Running in Hokas is effortless, like running in a playful dream state. Each step is full of curiosity and wonderment, immediately connecting you to new possibilities. You lose yourself in every stride — you bounce, you float, you soar, you fly. It feels like fantasy, but it’s real.
Runners of any age and experience level will appreciate the values of Hokas. Whether training for or racing an ultramarathon, the unique design, shape and midsole resiliency of the shoes can softly cushion your stride. New runners will find them comfortable and forgiving, while veteran ultra runners will appreciate the liveliness they put into every footstep.
Hoka One One shoes are also ideal for running trails with abrupt climbs, steep descents and technical features such as rocks, roots and trail debris. The uniquely designed midsole transforms downhill running and acts as a buffer against jagged obstacles on the trail. While traditional low-to-the-ground shoes can be very unstable on rocky trails, Hoka shoes are reliably steady because the additional midsole foam helps to stabilize the foot by allowing the outsole to make secure contact with the ground.
