HOKA made two other changes to the Speedgoat platform: The Speedgoat 3 came in a waterproof version that used HOKA’s own Skyshell bootie to keep the puddles out. But this year’s waterproof ‘Goat swaps Skyshell for a GORE-TEX liner that delivers lightweight, breathable moisture management. The HOKA Speedgoat 4 GTX runs $160.
The Speedgoat 4 GTX is my first pair of HOKA trail running shoes. It is built to navigate steep, rocky and muddy trail terrains in all kinds of weather conditions. This is a trail-focused shoe in a GORE-TEX version for long distance and technically oriented runners.

They don't resemble anything close to a classic top-rated hiking boot, but these unique boots are still super comfy while also bringing high-performance capability to the trail.

Pros: Extremely versatile, living up to its ‘all-terrain’ billing. Versatile: leaning more road than trail. Impressively light at 9.7 oz / 275g (US9) for a waterproof Gore-Tex shoe, a big stack of 31/26 AND with a trail worthy outsole. Well balanced on road and easier trail, extremely smooth rocker at all paces with as a bonus some front
