Be careful when ordering from Wiggle.I ordered some 50mm wheels from Wiggle and after 3 weeks they still aren't in transit. I asked Wiggle for a refund as the courier has lost them, and Wiggle says we have to wait up to four weeks for the courier to find them before you get your money back! For real. So yeah, just so you know, Wiggle won't refund you if your parcel gets lost by the courier. Buyer beware. I'm down $700, no wheels, and no refund.

This was a super helpful review! Thank you!!

[@davethebarber62920]

Great job!

[@berthein5476]

The Tecton X is my all time favorite shoe. NOT JUST FOR TRAILS. its sooo good for everything :D even ran my PB 5k of 18 min in it lol Its my Race day, every day, easy road day, walking shoe of choice. That shoe fricking spoled me :D

[@petrikor556]

I Loved Hoka Mafate Speed 4..!!!

[@christopherhillam7286]

Enjoyed the review. Have been a Speedgoat fan since SG2 and are my always-go-to shoe on any run, including 60+mile Ultras. Have to strongly disagree about the mud comment: Speedgoats are bad in mud. Great on everything else and well-worth the compromise on long, varied terrain runs. But they are bad in mud. Still not sure whether Tectons are worth investing but have just recently bought some Mafates (purely because of the deal price) although I am wary whether to make this shoe my race-shoe for the March Chester 50. Once again, enjoyed the review and keep up the good work.

[@miguelrecarey9885]

GREAT!!! Very professional and comprehensive exposure. Hope you do similar análisis for other top trail brands. Your presentation cleared all questions regarding Hoka trail thank god and you!!! Keep it up and I will inscribe awaiting other similar ones

[@user-hm2lc3wj9o]

I LOVE my Speedgoats but can't wait to test out the Tecton X2

[@wiggle]

You'll get that new pb in the Tecton's CB 🙌

[@snowwalker9999]

Can you please review speedgoat 5 gtx with spikes for winter running. Winters here are very wet icy with a ton of snow. Or you could perhaps compare them to other winter running shoes. Thank you

[@mkultra9361]

Great overview of the latest Hoka’s! I found the Speedgoats too narrow in the toe box area, do the Challenger or the Stinson’s have more room??

[@JB-hq9yj]

They're all super narrow Ala European shoe style.

[@chrisstrider]

I ve used the Challenger as a great all terrain and winter shoe 😊

[@wiggle]

Gotta love the challenger 🤟

[@YosefElgart]

[@oyilla]

Hi dear, you dropped to mention any hoka's for flatfeet trail runners with plantar fasciitis with some arch support? Any recommendation there?

[@kanchanp.6150]

Any review on speedgaot 4?

[@samuelpark6782]

Thanks for the great review,What shoe will you recommend for hiking in the grand canyon plus a week in yellowstone? No running just lots of walking

[@danielranario7201]

U might wanna check anacapa or Kaha

[@tiagopereira9140]

What Hoka shoed do you recommend for a Sand / Beach Ultra Marathon?

[@Samuuuel]

Hi ! stinson 7 or challenger 7 for injuries ? I have tendonitis achilles tendon, plantar aponeurosis pain + heel, pains in the anterior shins and tendinitis of the peroniers... Or they are the same ? I have the army soon

[@user-lk9dk5of5h]

Hi I am going on a 2 week trip to Borneo and need one shoe - not necessarily for running just for all day walking and hiking. What shoe would you recommend?

[@deborahdaviesdd-artist1059]

What would you recommend for waking the el Camino Way. 600km (I won’t be running though!)

[@111nyg]

can I use this to hike 4000mountain？

[@r.cordis8251]

Hi, which ones are better for wide foot, has a nice forefoot space? thanks

[@makb5354]

Try Topo. Wider toebox, soft as Hoka, great reviews, multiple heel drop options, and less expensive. I love mine. As a family, we have Hoka Torrence and Speedgoat. We all hate Speedgoat and now just use them for walking.

[@vspatmx7458]

I need 2 suggestions from you 1) which is the most plush . Cushioned. Trail. Shoes 2). Which is the fastest trail shoes ?

[@mikeburgh3956]

RIP wiggle/crc and possibly Nukeproof 😢

[@wiggle]

🤣 can’t get rid of us that easily

[@mikeburgh3956]

@@wiggle that's what I want to hear 🤟🏻 I love CRC!!!!

[@GEORGE-wy6oj]

PUMBA?

[@JB-hq9yj]

None - because they fit stork feet not humans unless you like squeezing the hell out of your feet.

[@GEORGE-wy6oj]

They do tend to fit small. I recommend trying before you buy, half size up and wider fitting versions. I've made that mistake before.
