This is what the 275s used to do.
FWIW i am just about to replace a pair of HOKA SPEEDGOATS (wide, they suit my Bunnions perfectly) that I started using around the end of March and they have now covered around 1500Km and they are just showing signs that the uppers are going behind the toebox, but the Vibram soles which I have found to be plenty grippy enough on the Fells in all conditions, i.m.o still have life left in them and I will continue to wear them.

Ok many will condemn the shoes as being too heavy and bulky but for me they have been a revelation compared to the likes of inov8 etc, I have found the HOKA`s to be supremely comfortable straight from the box no blisters, hot spots, twisted ankles, debris ingress. All in all I have found the Speedgoats to be a great allrounder.
