What owners single out
In their words
“Having wide feet I'm extremely limited on options for good Ultra distance kicks. Only NB and Saucony (Peregrine 12s) have shoes wide enough for me. I tried the new Hoka speedgoat 5s but sent them back for the sightly wider v7 after getting blisters (even though it started as the most comfortable ride ever..). The v7 is much lighter than the v6 even with Gore-tex, also doesn't seem like it will get”

“Junk in 3 weeks. I walk 10 miles a day landscaping and mowing lawns and outsole is already worn away in less than a month. I would just use these in the woods. Not a hybrid. Goretex is coming out of the toes in weird strings through the rubber toe. Outsole is already coming apart foam is ok, but nit suppotive and makes feet ache unlike nike react foam. Man, The worst $150 i ever spent on shoes.”
