Why We Like The Speedgoat 5 Trail Running Shoe
The Speedgoat 5 is at home bounding atop root- and rock-riddled singletrack. Now a half ounce lighter, this racer has picked up the pace while still padding our strikes and energizing our toe offs. The sandwich mesh upper keeps our feet breathing easy, while the aggressive lugs solidify our footing as we charge up steeps, around switchbacks, and back down to the valley floor.

My new golf shoe!
After seeing a couple Senior PGA players wearing them, I had to try again. I tried this about 5 years ago, but returned the shoes. They were just not comfortable on my feet. The new Speedboat 5 is very comfortable and great traction and support on the golf course. Very happy with the white. Glad they came out with it.

Disappointed
Bought this shoe for trail walking, hiking and running. In 3 weeks from purchase, the Vibram traction on the heel began separating from the sole. Shoe had been used less than 10 times only walking on gravel paths. Unfortunately, Hoka's would not exchange the shoes. It would need to be under the warranty policy which is a lengthy process. Meaning I would not have my newly bought shoes until I sent them back to Hoka, they were evaluated by their staff and then credit was issued, so I can order new shoes. Really defeats the whole purpose of buying new shoes when I have to wait to get my new replacement shoes to train. While I understand that manufacturing defects happen, I am very disappointed in Hoka's customer service and the fact they won't make it right for the customer.

Splitting uppers
Am a devoted Hoka runner, have had many pairs of Speedgoats, but this latest model is a big disappointment. I have two pairs of the Speedgoat 5's and both have splits where the upper meets the sole on the lateral edge of both feet. This happened around mile 175/200 for each pair. Not only does this shorten the life of the shoe (at some point my feet just start slipping out of the shoe at the split) but it eliminates the afterlife of the shoe as well. I just have to throw them away. I used to count on old pairs of my Speedgoats as beaters for gnarly watery trails and for just walking around with my dog. Old trail shoes make great walking shoes. In the past, a spent pair of Speedgoats has given me months and months of use beyond their regular life. Please go back to the reinforced upper. It's a trail shoe after all: that mesh fabric can't hold up.

Most comfortable shoes ever.
I have been wearing shoes of some sort for over 50 years. These are by far the most comfortable. I love both the cushioning and the stability of the Speed Goat 5. The sizing was a perfect fit out of the box. I plan on buying another pair of Hoka later this year.

Don't fit my feet well
These look better than most Hoka's, but I needed to return them as they didn't fit my feet right. My foot felt like it sat "too high" in them so that my heel felt like it was slipping out of the back when I walked. Also, the tongue is one of those really thin types as opposed to the more cushy tongues. It cut across the top of my foot and wasn't comfortable. I think the shoe is probably fine, but for some reason it didn't fit my foot well at all. As a comparison, I wear the Hoka Transport daily, and they are one of the best shoes I have ever worn.

Lived my 4s but not fond of these 5s
Overall just not as comfortable as my SG 4s. Hate how short the tongue is. Everyone I slip my foot in the tongue disappears. As there are so few models in wide I'm finding it hard to find an option. I'm using these for trail hiking

White Out!
Speedgoat 5 in solid white is sure to be a winner. I wish they made it in a mid-rise too. Next to the Clifton 9, the Speedgoat is my favorite iteration of the Hoka ethos

Bad upper fit, they choke the foot to the point of numbness.
These are my first experience with the SG5 and it has not been a great one. I use these on a wide variety of conditions, everything from uneven technical trails to flat gravel fire roads. Considering the cost of these shoes and how well reviewed they are I'm shocked how bad the SG5's are and just flat out dissatisfied with these shoes. Mostly due to the bad upper fit, but also because they feel lifeless to pick up the pace in. The only good part I like is the vibram grip and that the offer reasonable protection to the foot. This will be my last pair of Hoka trail shoes.

Favorite shoe
We wore only ON CLOUDS, friend suggested to give Hoka a try. Now our clouds sit in the back of the closet...

Speedgoat not just for running
I use the Speedgoat model as golf shoes. They are very comfortable when I walk 18 holes. I would recommend them. Vijay had a great idea.
