Overview
Wet, sloppy trails are the terrain this Hoka mid-collar trail shoe is built for. A waterproof GORE-TEX membrane lines a recycled mesh upper, and a Vibram outsole with traction lugs bites into loose soil.
Choose it for fall trail miles where wet ground and loose dirt matter more than airflow. A membrane shoe breathes less than an open mesh one, and the structured listing fields disagree with the written description, which weakens how much of the waterproofing story can be confirmed.
Who it's for
Muddy, soaked trails are the target, from loose soil to standing water, over uneven ground. Road runners and anyone who needs a confirmed water resistance rating should look elsewhere or verify the listing first.
Pros and cons
- GORE-TEX waterproof membrane
- Vibram Megagrip outsole with traction lug
- Flexible, running-friendly collar
- Protective toe rand
- Water resistance field contradicts the membrane claim
- Height field says low top despite mid name
- Outer material field reads canvas, description says mesh
- Season listed as fall only
Performance notes
Traction comes from the Vibram Megagrip rubber and its lugs, which dig into loose soil and wet ground. The late stage rocker shape helps roll the foot forward, and the molded sockliner with a bolstered heel limits foot movement on uneven surfaces. The membrane stops water coming through the upper, but it cannot help once water enters over the collar.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Hoka Speedgoat Mid GTX a stiff hiking boot?
No. The listing calls it a trail shoe with a more flexible, running-friendly collar, a protective toe rand and a rocker midsole, so it moves like a runner rather than a heavy boot.
Does the listing agree that the Speedgoat Mid GTX is waterproof?
Not fully. The written description states a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane, while the structured field reads Not Water Resistant. Treat the description as the product claim and confirm before buying for heavy rain.
Is the Hoka Speedgoat Mid GTX vegan?
The listing marks it vegan. The upper is 100% recycled polyester mesh and the laces are 70% recycled nylon and 30% recycled polyester, excluding the aglet.
What is the midsole on the Hoka Speedgoat Mid GTX?
The listing names a CMEVA midsole foam with a late stage MetaRocker shape, described as lightweight and responsive.
