I am a huge fan of the 5...have 9 pair ... 3 totally trashed from ultra trail races this year, the other I'm hording and using the rest of this year and into my springtime races. By then, I might give these a try since they sound solid, too. Thank you for this helpful review.

I have 20 miles in the 6 so far. Here's my take, the fit is definitely better, not as sloppy as the 5. The midsole is firmer, not as cushy as the 5. The tongue is better padded than the 5 but still too short and not padded enough. Would it kill Hoka they give an extra quarter inch of material on the tongue. In my opinion the best versions of the Speedgoat were the 2 and 3. They both had a great midsole and nice big padded tongue. I have a Speedgoat 3 with about 300 miles on it and the midsole still feels better than a brand new 6. I've been wearing Speedgoats since version 1. I think it's time I look for a new shoe. Better than the 5? Yes. Best version? Definitely not.

I only use shoes for walking but picked up the new balance hierro v7 gore-tex recently. I'm liking it a lot. Wide enough for my flat right foot, more cushioned than the speedgoat 5 I tried in the shop and very grippy with vibram sole. Got them half price on NB site.

Great review Steven. Always very helpfull. Any time a new trail hoka comes out I have my fingers cross hoping its as similar as possible to the "almighty" Evo... hopes are starting to fade away. Just ordered the MS4 as the new SG6 some how doesn"t seem very convincing and my 5's still have a bit of life in them. What would you say is the biggest similarity and diffrence between the MF4 and SG6. Best of luck for the channel as always great content.

Thanks. The midsole is the biggest similarity to the MS4. It’s great. The biggest difference is probably the width of the mid foot.

Hi Steven, hope your hip is doing good? Lovin the content. I haven’t tried the Speedgoat 6 but had a couple of pairs of the 5, then I got hold of a pair of Merrell Agility Peak 5, and they completely blew the 5’s away. Everything about that shoe was superior to the Hoka and can’t wait for their next iteration. When it comes out a shootout between the Hoka 6 and the Merrell 6 is a must!

It's Vibrum or nothing for me from now on. I have a few shoes without Vibrum and they are just too slick when it's wet. I never have traction issues in any conditions with Vibrum. I've still got a pair of Speedgoat 3 EVO's and 4's that I'm putting miles on but I was curious what the latest version is like.

Great review, thanks! How do you compare this to the mafate speed 4? Do they complement each other or are they too similar? I have that one and love it. But I’m looking for a second pair for my rotation and the Speedgoat 6 looks and sounds as a great option.

Great video! I apreciate your medical situation right now and know you've sqeezed these runs out for this review. I just think you should mention your milage (22 miles) and the fact that this is a limitation of your formed opinion on the shoes. Especially since you mention rubbing in the previous version while wearing it in a 48h race and compare this directly with the new version. Things i personally find very important (fit issues with long efforts, durability of the midsole, durability of the outsole) are unfortunatly hard to comment on after a couple of short runs. It's totally okay to not run hundreds of miles in a shoe before you give your opion! But I think mentioning the milage and lenght of runs is very important information for the viewer to place a review into context.

Fair points. However, when you’ve been reviewing shoes as long as I have (4 years), and been wearing Hoka’s for 7 years, you get a really good sense for a shoe very quickly.
