The HOKA SPEEDGOAT 7 GTX men's trail running shoes are designed for challenging terrain, long mountain runs and times when you need maximum confidence underfoot. Supercritical EVA foam in the midsole provides comfortable and responsive cushioning with good energy return, while the Vibram® Megagrip outsole with Traction Lug offers excellent grip on both dry and wet surfaces.
A waterproof GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane helps keep feet dry in rain, wet conditions and when moving in challenging conditions. Prominent 5mm lugs provide sure-footed traction on mud, rocks and uneven surfaces. The durable upper is complemented by an integrated trail shoe mount that helps prevent dirt and rocks from entering the shoe.

GORE-TEX®
The GORE-TEX® membrane contains 1.4 million microscopic pores per square centimeter, which are approximately 20,000 times smaller than a drop of water and 700 times wider than a water vapor molecule. This ensures that the Gore-Tex® membrane is completely waterproof on the outside and permeable to sweat on the inside.
The grease-repellent substances present in the membrane prevent the absorption of body substances.
Shoes with a GORE-TEX® membrane will keep your feet dry and at the right temperature in all weather conditions and provide perfect climate comfort. They are long-lasting waterproof, relatively breathable and protect the foot even in the most difficult conditions.
At Hoka, this technology appears in trail and hiking shoes, where they are expected to come into contact with rain or mud.

EVA
The name EVA stands for Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate. It is a type of copolymer that combines the properties of plastic and rubber. Sports brands use this material in the form of foam, from which they make midsoles and sometimes insoles for shoes.
The widespread use of this foam is due to its excellent properties.
- lightness → one of the biggest advantages that affects the overall weight of the shoe
- shock absorption → cushions every step forward, which your knees will especially appreciate; it can absorb shocks from your steps and thus increases comfort when running and walking (even over longer distances)
- flexibility - the EVA material is very flexible and elastic, allowing natural movement and adaptation to the foot
- durability - in general, this material is resistant to cracking and wear, but of course after really long use it can easily get crushed
- thermal insulation - keeps the foot warm in cold weather, and in summer resists hot surfaces
- water resistance - the closed cell structure of EVA foam does not absorb water, so this material is also used in outdoor shoes
- affordability - compared to advanced cushioning materials, the production of EVA foam is relatively cheaper, which is also reflected in the resulting price of the shoe
