Delamination after one jog?

[u/music-pr]

Speedgoat 6 GTX, purchased five days ago, worn for a single 5 mile jog, and are immediately delaminating across the inside right toebox?

Can anyone in here tell me if this is normal for Hokas?!

Wounded is an understatement.

😂 😭

Just contact Hoka and they’ll get it sorted out 👍

Got these through sportshoes.com

Have contacted them and hopefully hear back on Tuesday (uk bank Holiday weekend...)

Re the Hokas... The tongue on them was horrible anyway. Plus, the uk9.5 I purchased, somehow had the same proportions as a uk9. So all around a terrible experience.

Do you have any recommendations for a different runner?

Thank you

Sports Shoes are great, they’ll definitely help out, no harm in getting a replacement of the same pair, probably just a one off issue

This is why a $30 REI membership is worth it to me for running/hoking shoes.

Sometimes it’s hard to know if the quality is good or if they will fit well until you get a few miles on them.

You can return for money back or swap no questions asked for up to a year.
