Our Take 

A runnable hiker?  A light hiker?  Or just more protection from the elements.  There are a lot of reasons why there is space on the wall for the Hoka Speedgoat 6 Mid GTX.

On those torrential rainy days it is nice to have the extra coverage from a mid-cut trail runner.  Think of water running down your running pants and slowly working its way into your shoe until you are completely soaked. The mid-cut helps alleviate this by making it easier to overlap your pants and the shoe and thus preventing this from happening.  Or maybe you are running into some snow.  Or maybe you want just a bit more ankle support.  Combining Hoka’s tried and true cushioning with aggressive traction and ultralight materials, the Speedgoat 6 Mid GTX is the perfect shoe for ultimate comfort over any distance and terrain in any weather.
