The Speedgoat 2 has a proven track record on tough rocky trails and is equally good in muddy conditions.
The Speedgoat 3 has only a few minor adjustments from the v2. The main improvement is in the upper where the toe bumper is a little more substantial and a mid-foot saddle-support has been added to enhance mid-stance fit and stability.
All the good features - great cushioning and fantastic traction - remain unchanged. The thick cushioned mid-sole is pleasantly firm and certainly not mushy, giving good stability and solid protection from rocks, thorns, roots, etc. With the same performance levels as supplied by the v2 guaranteed, this Hoka can take you any distance you want.
