It took me years to find a shoe that works for hiking and running — this one does both, and it’s $63 off right now

As a running shoe tester, I have plenty of sneakers at home, and of course, I have my favorites. But the one that never lets me down and is my absolute go-to is the Hoka Speedgoat 6, which I’m excited to share is currently 45% off at Hoka.

The Speedgoat 6 launched back in 2024, so it does often appear in sales, but now the Speedgoat 7 has entered the chat. You can expect the deals on the 6 to get even more inviting. At the moment, the Speedgoat 6 is 30% off at Hoka, which brings it to $108. The better news is that this style qualifies for an extra 15% off at Hoka, taking it down to just $91.

I rate the Hoka Speedgoat 6 as one of the best trail running shoes around. It’s smooth on the run, grips like a dream, and handles mud, dirt, and loose terrain effortlessly. Whether you’re after a reliable hiking shoe or a versatile trail runner, the Speedgoat 6 is worth your consideration.

What makes the Speedgoat 6 such a reliable all-rounder is how it balances grip, cushioning, and support while still feeling light and agile underfoot. With a Vibram Megagrip outsole for secure footing and a cushioned midsole that protects your feet, the Speedgoat 6 keeps you comfortable while running or walking. It’s the perfect packable companion for any outdoor trip, so you don’t need to bring multiple shoes for trails and hikes.

I have tested the shoe across a whole range of adventures, and it quickly proved it could handle anything I threw at it. Near the end of 2025, I wrote about the three running shoes that transformed my marathon training, and the Hoka Speedgoat 6 earned a well-deserved spot on the list. I described it as a shoe that eats up trails for breakfast, and I still stand by that.

Since then, I have also worn the Speedgoat 6 in a Spartan race. For those who don’t know, a Spartan race is a running event packed with technical obstacles and even some sea swimming. I have never been so glad I packed the right shoe in my life. The Speedgoat 6’s grip helped me tackle steep inclines while carrying sandbags without slipping. Its lightweight feel made transitions out of the water easier, and the outsole gave me the confidence to climb steep walls without hesitation.
