A very cushioned workhorse of a trail runner that utilizes a grippy Vibram sole, a thick cushioned EVA midsole and a Gore-Tex membrane to help keep your feet dry.
Hoka One One says:
A workhorse for sloppy, wet conditions, the Speedgoat 5 returns with a brand-new upper and enhanced moisture
management in the way of a GORE-TEX Leaf membrane bootie. Grounded in the same Vibram® Megagrip
with Traction Lug for increased grip on loose soil, this trail icon employs a foot-cradling heel bolster, rubber toe
cap, and gusseted tongue to keep trail debris at bay.
Our Verdict
The Speedgoat 5 GTX are an upgrade to one of the more popular trail shoes on the market, utilising Hoka’s trademark well-cushioned midsole and a tried and tested Vibram sole; these work well, on the road or on the trail, in wet and dry, weather ascending or descending.
I like the higher-heel cup; it’s well-cushioned, incredibly comfortable, and supportive. The flat tongue ensures an excellent tight fit.
The Gore-Tex membrane has done a good job of keeping my feet dry; however, water will get over the top if you’re in seriously boggy ground.
