HOKA Speedgoat 6 vs Altra Lone Peak 9

Buy the Hoka listing ASIN B0DN5VSVQ6 when you want the page whose style numbers are 1147791 and 1147830-CDN, whose color cell says Charcoal Grey/Midnight Blue, and whose shoe-height cell says Low Top, and when you will read a title block that also says Speedgoat 6 Mid GTX. Buy the Altra Lone Peak 9, ASIN B0FD2PBF43, when you want the page whose style numbers are AL0A85PG and AL0A85PH922, whose color cell says Tan, and whose description says zero drop. These are trail shoes. They are not the same upper, and the Hoka page is not one shoe.

Short version. A Salomon Speedcross 6 is a different trail shoe with a different lug story. An Osprey Duro 6 and a Salomon Adv Skin 5 are the vests those shoes run under. A Garmin Forerunner 165 and a COROS Pace 3 are the watches, not the shoes. A La Sportiva Tarantulace and a SCARPA Origin are climbing shoes. Do not order a climbing shoe when the job is a trail shoe. Match the style number before you match the word Hoka or the word Altra.

The Hoka card is a parent page that contradicts itself. One title context on the size chip reads Hoka Men's Speedgoat 6, Charcoal Grey/Midnight Blue, size 8 Wide. The H1 on the same visit reads Hoka Mens Speedgoat 6 Mid GTX. The style name says Speedgoat 6. The style numbers printed for this selection are 1147791 and 1147830-CDN. The UPC is 198605140075. The manufacturer part number matches that style pair. The item-weight cell says 1.8 pounds. The color cell says Charcoal Grey/Midnight Blue. The heel cell says No Heel. The seasons cell says Fall. The closure cell says Lace-Up. The sport cell says Trail Running. The water-resistance cell says Not Water Resistant. The cushioning cell says moderate. The pronation cell says Neutral. The sole-material cell says EVA. The outer-material cell says Polyester. The insole cell says EVA. The shoe-height cell says Low Top. The bullets say a jacquard knit upper and a textile lining. A product-details block on the same page prints a different ASIN, B0CPC4VGHS, model 1155152-TRFF, a women's department, dimensions of 14 by 9 by 5 inches, and a weight of 3 pounds. That block is not style 1147791.

The description is two romances. One romance is a Speedgoat 6 Mid GTX with GORE-TEX and 5-millimeter lugs. The other romance is a Speedgoat 6 low shoe with a woven textile upper, CMEVA foam, a Vibram Megagrip outsole, and 5-millimeter lugs, and that romance does not say GORE-TEX. The water-resistance cell says Not Water Resistant. A Mid GTX romance that depends on a waterproof membrane does not agree with a cell that says the shoe is not water resistant. The low-top romance agrees with the Not Water Resistant cell and with the Low Top height cell. It does not agree with an H1 that says Mid GTX. The photograph on this card is a low-top Speedgoat 6. The word SPEEDGOAT is on the shoe. The outsole is a Vibram-style lug. It is not a photograph of a mid-cut GORE-TEX boot. Buy the picture and the height cell if you wanted the low shoe. Do not cite the Mid GTX romance as the shoe in the photo.

1.8 pounds is the item-weight cell for the selection this article uses. 3 pounds is the other ASIN's details block. Do not average 1.8 and 3 into a 2.4-pound shoe and then compare that average with the Altra. A pair of trail shoes can weigh more than one shoe. The cell does not say whether 1.8 pounds is one shoe or the pair. Weigh the pair you unpack. The size chart on the page is a generic US men's wide chart. It is not a drop. It is not a stack height. It is not a lug depth. The 5-millimeter lug figure lives in the description romances, not in a lug-depth cell. Quote 5 millimeters as description prose. The UPC 198605140075 belongs to the style pair 1147791 / 1147830-CDN. It does not belong to model 1155152-TRFF. If the tongue label says a women's model number from the other block, you received the other ASIN's shoe.

Fall in the seasons cell is a season word, not a weather test. Not Water Resistant is the water cell. A knit upper and a textile lining, which the bullets name, can be true of a low shoe that is not a GTX. Polyester as the outer material can also be true of that knit. None of those cells says GORE-TEX. The Mid GTX romance is the only place the membrane is claimed, and it fights the water cell. Neutral pronation and moderate cushioning are cells. They are not a gait analysis. EVA as both sole and insole does not name the CMEVA the low romance uses, and it does not name the Vibram compound. Vibram Megagrip is description prose on the low romance. The photo shows a lugged outsole. The cell still says EVA. Read EVA as the cell and Vibram as the romance. Do not merge them into a single official compound line.

The Altra title context includes Tan and size 10. The style name says Lone Peak 9. The style numbers on the fetched page are AL0A85PG and AL0A85PH922. An older snippet that split those codes into AL0A85PG000 and AL0A85PH000W is not the pair this page printed. Use AL0A85PG / AL0A85PH922. The UPC is 198266719252. The ASIN is B0FD2PBF43. The item-weight cell says 2.2 pounds. The color cell says Tan. The heel cell says No Heel. The water-resistance cell says Not Water Resistant. The closure cell says Lace-Up. The outer material is described as 100 percent RPET ripstop mesh. The sole cell says MaxTrac. The description says zero drop and says the toe box is the roomiest in the line. There is no drop cell. There is no stack-height cell. Zero drop is description prose. A customer review that says a width such as 14 wide is a review. It is not a width cell.

2.2 pounds on a trail-shoe card is a heavy figure if it is one shoe, and it is still heavy if it is a pair. The cell does not say which. The Hoka cell says 1.8 pounds and also does not say which. Comparing 2.2 with 1.8 is a comparison of two unlabeled cells, not a comparison of a measured pair. Weigh both pairs on the same scale. Do not invent a 10-ounce official weight for the Lone Peak because a different Altra chart you remember used ounces. That ounce figure is not this card. Tan is the color cell. If the shoe that arrives is black or gray, it is a different color row even when the style name still says Lone Peak 9. Size 10 in the title context is the size that was open. It is not a statement that the card is only a size 10.

No Heel on both cards is the same odd cell. A trail shoe has a heel counter. No Heel usually means the listing template had nothing better to put in a heel-type field. Do not read it as a zero-drop confirmation on the Hoka, and do not read it as a promise that the Altra has no heel cup. The Altra's zero-drop sentence is in the description. The Hoka card does not say zero drop. A Speedgoat is a stacked shoe in the way runners talk about it, and this card never prints the stack. Do not import a millimeter stack from a brand page and call it an Amazon cell. The same rule applies to the Altra. Zero drop in prose is not a measured stack of zero. A shoe can be called zero drop and still have foam under the foot. The card does not print that foam height.

Both water cells say Not Water Resistant. That agreement is the cleanest line on the two pages. It also makes the Hoka Mid GTX romance harder to trust, because a GTX claim and a Not Water Resistant cell cannot both be the shoe you are buying. The Altra outer line, 100 percent RPET ripstop mesh, agrees with Not Water Resistant. Mesh is not a membrane. The Hoka bullets' jacquard knit and textile lining agree with Not Water Resistant and disagree with the GTX romance. If you need a waterproof trail shoe, neither cell on these two ASINs says waterproof. Order a card whose water cell matches the membrane you want, and read the style number on the tongue when it arrives.

The climbing-shoe comparison on this site is a different sport. A Tarantulace and a SCARPA Origin are downturned or flat climbing shoes. A Speedgoat and a Lone Peak are trail-running shoes with lugged outsoles. The closure cell on both trail cards says Lace-Up. A climbing slipper is not this order. A vest is not this order either. The Duro and the Adv Skin carry water. They do not change the drop the shoe card failed to print.

Who should buy the Speedgoat page, and who should buy the Lone Peak?

Buy ASIN B0DN5VSVQ6 if you want style 1147791 / 1147830-CDN, the charcoal and midnight color cell, the Low Top height cell, the Not Water Resistant cell, and the knit-upper bullets, and if you will throw out the Mid GTX romance, the women's details block for B0CPC4VGHS, and any stack height this card does not print. Buy it if the photo of the low shoe is the shoe you meant. Buy ASIN B0FD2PBF43 if you want Lone Peak 9 in Tan, style AL0A85PG / AL0A85PH922, the MaxTrac sole cell, the RPET mesh line, and a description that says zero drop, and if you will accept that zero drop is not a cell and that 2.2 pounds is an unlabeled weight.

Do not buy the Hoka because the H1 said Mid GTX and you wanted a waterproof boot. The water cell says Not Water Resistant, and the photo is a low shoe. Do not buy the Altra because a review said a width you liked. Width is not a cell on the lines this article quotes. Do not buy either shoe as a climbing shoe. Do not buy either shoe as a road flat. The sport cell on the Hoka says Trail Running. The Altra page is a Lone Peak, which is a trail shoe, and the card does not print a road-racing plate.

What is style 1147791 actually for?

This selection is a men's trail shoe in charcoal grey and midnight blue, filed as a low top, a lace-up, a neutral shoe, and a shoe the water cell says is not water resistant. The useful identity is ASIN B0DN5VSVQ6, UPC 198605140075, styles 1147791 and 1147830-CDN, 1.8 pounds on the item-weight cell, EVA in the sole and insole cells, polyester on the outer cell, and bullets that say a jacquard knit upper and a textile lining. The photograph agrees with the low shoe. The H1 and one description romance agree with a Mid GTX that this photo does not show. The other description romance agrees with the low shoe and adds CMEVA, Vibram Megagrip, and 5-millimeter lugs. Those three additions are prose. The seasons cell says Fall. Fall is not a temperature rating.

Use the size chart as a size chart. Wide, in the size-chip context, is the width that was selected on that visit. It is not a statement that every unit is wide. Read the width on the order form before you check out. The 14-by-9-by-5-inch dimension and the 3-pound weight belong to the other details block and the other ASIN. Do not ship a box from those numbers. A low trail shoe with a knit upper is a dry-trail shoe until the water cell changes. If the tongue says GTX and a mid cut, you received the romance, not the height cell, and you should treat that as a different shoe from the one this photo shows.

What is style AL0A85PG actually for?

This card is a Lone Peak 9 in Tan. The useful identity is ASIN B0FD2PBF43, UPC 198266719252, styles AL0A85PG and AL0A85PH922, a 2.2-pound item-weight cell, a Not Water Resistant cell, a lace-up closure, a No Heel cell you should not trust as anatomy, an RPET ripstop mesh outer, a MaxTrac sole cell, and a description that says zero drop and a roomy toe box. There is no waterproof membrane in those lines. There is no plate. There is no stack height. The roomiest-toe-box sentence is marketing prose inside the description. It is not a millimeter width. A reviewer's width is a reviewer's width.

Use it as a trail shoe whose card is willing to say zero drop in prose and is not willing to put that claim in a drop cell. If you need a printed drop, this ASIN does not have one. If you need a waterproof shoe, the water cell says no. The mesh line is the upper you can quote. MaxTrac is the sole compound you can quote from a cell. It is not the Hoka's EVA cell, and it is not the Vibram sentence in the Hoka romance. Different rubbers are the point of reading the cells instead of the word trail.

How do you check the fit without mixing the two cards?

Check the Hoka order for the color charcoal grey and midnight blue, the width the form actually selected, and the words Low Top if you wanted the shoe in the photo. When the box arrives, read the style number against 1147791 or 1147830-CDN. If the label says 1155152 or a GTX mid, stop and compare it with the romance you did not mean to buy. The generic wide size chart does not tell you the drop. Lace the shoe and stand in it. A moderate cushioning cell is not a feeling you can quote back as a millimeter.

Check the Altra order for Tan and for Lone Peak 9. Read AL0A85PG or AL0A85PH922 on the label. A zero-drop description means you should notice whether the heel and the forefoot feel level. It does not mean the card measured them. The roomy toe box is a sentence to test with your own toes, not a width cell. Both shoes lace. Neither card prints a gaiter hook as a cell on the lines quoted here. A vest and a watch are the other tools on a long run. They are not inside either shoe box. The number of shoes in a pair is two. The cards name a shoe listing. Look at the count on the order form so you do not buy one shoe when you meant a pair.

What actually fails on these two cards?

The Hoka card fails when Mid GTX in the H1 is treated as the shoe in a low-top photo. It fails when GORE-TEX in one romance is quoted next to a water cell that says Not Water Resistant, as if both were true of style 1147791. It fails when ASIN B0CPC4VGHS, the 3-pound weight, and the 14-by-9-by-5 box are copied onto B0DN5VSVQ6. It fails when 1.8 pounds and 3 pounds are averaged. It fails when a generic size chart is called a stack-height chart. It fails when EVA in the sole cell is rewritten as Vibram because the romance and the photo said Vibram. It fails when Fall is read as a waterproof winter boot.

The Altra card fails when zero drop is upgraded from description prose to a drop cell. It fails when 2.2 pounds is called a verified pair weight or a verified single-shoe weight. The cell does not say. It fails when a reviewer's width replaces a missing width cell. It fails when No Heel is read as a barefoot last. It fails when MaxTrac is swapped for the Hoka's EVA cell. It fails when Tan is ignored and a different colorway is called this ASIN. It fails when an older style-number snippet is preferred over AL0A85PG / AL0A85PH922 printed on the page this article uses.

What is this comparison not?

This is not a timed run. Neither card prints a race result. This is not a waterproofing test. Both water cells say Not Water Resistant, and one Hoka romance disagrees. This is not a price quote. The price changes. Use the buttons if you want the live listing. This is not a climbing-shoe article. The Tarantulace and the Origin are linked so a downturned shoe stays on its own page. This is not a watch article and it is not a vest article. This is not every Speedgoat color and it is not every Lone Peak version. Lone Peak 9 and style 1147791 are the rows. A Speedgoat 5 or a Lone Peak 8 is a different shoe even when the name looks familiar.

So which trail shoe should you buy?

Buy the Hoka listing if you want ASIN B0DN5VSVQ6, styles 1147791 and 1147830-CDN, the low-top photo, the Not Water Resistant cell, and the charcoal color cell, and if you will throw out the Mid GTX H1, the GTX romance, and the other ASIN's 3-pound block. Buy the Altra if you want ASIN B0FD2PBF43, Lone Peak 9, styles AL0A85PG and AL0A85PH922, the tan color cell, the MaxTrac cell, and the zero-drop sentence in the description. Buy neither if you wanted a waterproof membrane both water cells refuse, a printed stack height, or a climbing shoe. The style number on the tongue is the decision. The second romance on the Hoka page is the warning.

This page does not embed a video. A clip that shows one shoe and not the other would need a title that names the style number. No such public clip is on this page, and a VideoObject is not attached to a shoe the article does not play. A review of a different Speedgoat year, or of a Lone Peak 8, is a different shoe.
