Hoka’s Speedgoat 5 Trail Running Shoe is a workhorse when you’re dealing with technical terrains. Its designed to push you forward for more mileage while doing so with ease and comfort thanks to a host of functional features that offers more traction and energy return with less the weight (a half ounce lighter to be precise).
This is a “trail beast” that prods you onward with outsoles that offer both grip and cushion via Vibram Megagrip with Truction Lug for enhanced grip on loose soil. It features a lighter midsole compound via compression-molded EVA foam that offers a symmetrical bed of cushion sans additional technologies to provide the support and protection you need while maintaining a balanced and responsive toe-off for when you want to go faster.
Meanwhile, the protective toe rand guards against rocks and trail debris. Hoka’s Speedgoat 5 Trail Running Shoe retains the same stack height and late stage MetaRocker profile as the Speedgoat 4 for a smooth ride on the trail. It has a heel-to-toe drop of 4.00 mm, 5mm lugs, and extended heel tab for easy pull on and off.
Moreover, this trail shoe features an upper made with a combination of recycled polyester and new heartier, double layer jacquard recycled content. Other notable features include molded EVA sockliners to add comfort, vegan lay-flat gusseted tongues, and laces made with 70% recycled nylon and 30% recycled polyester.
