This is one of the signature models from the renowned and award-winning American sports footwear brand, the HOKA Speedgoat 5. As such, it is not surprising that every new release is one of the most anticipated by a wide range of athletes. In this particular case, mountain lovers. This is an all-round benchmark trainer for the mountain terrain that has undergone improvements, but with the same quality performance that ensures it remains one of the best-selling models
Perfect for any type of outdoor adventure, the HOKA Speedgoat 5 trail running shoes are one of the most multi-functional models on the market. In fact, the Speedgoat are so versatile that not only are they a favourite for trail runners, but they are also ideal for adventurers who go hiking or trekking, for all kinds of routes.
In the latest edition of the leading trail running shoe, the HOKA Speedgoat 5, there are a few improvements, of course, but also features that remain from previous versions.
The performance of the fifth release of the HOKA Speedgoat remains excellent. In order to maintain its efficiency from the first to the last kilometre, the California-based company's product developers opted to keep the same midsole composition as the HOKA Speedgoat 4: CMEVA foam to ensure a high degree of cushioning, and optimum flexibility. However, the Speedgoat 5 features a reinforced Meta-rocker structure to give the model more stability and support, especially for running on uneven terrain. This doesn't increase the weight of the shoe as a whole.
However, the biggest new feature of the HOKA Speedgoat 5 is in its upper. It has an engineered mesh which improves not only the adaptability of the model but also its comfort and breathability. Another detail that will not go unnoticed in this HOKA trail running model is the design change. It's true that the aesthetics of the Speedgoat 5 are more in line with the best-selling HOKA Clifton 8 and HOKA ONE ONE Mach 4, with extended straps in the Achilles tendon area that facilitate the action of putting on and taking off the shoe more easily and quickly.
Although the outsole still includes the same Vibram MegaGrip compound, together with Traction Lugs technology and 5 mm lugs, HOKA claims that the model is capable of improving its traction capacity by 20% over the previous version, the HOKA ONE ONE Speedgoat 4.
In short, the HOKA Speedgoat 5 is a must-have if you are looking for a daily training shoe for long distances, although you shouldn't rule out the possibility of wearing it for long-distance races, such as ultras. In addition, the fifth version is more stable and ready to take on the roughest and most irregular terrain in the mountains.
As for the technical specifications of the HOKA Speedgoat 5, it has a 5 mm drop that slightly exceeds that of its predecessor.
