Why We Like The Speedgoat 5 Trail Running Shoe
Experience Quicker Performance
The Speedgoat 5 is HOKA's award-winning trail runner, now upgraded to deliver even faster performance. Weighing in at a half ounce lighter than its predecessor, this shoe enables us to fly over root-infested and rock-plagued trails with ease.
Unmatched Cushioning and Stability
Featuring a plush sole unit, the Speedgoat 5 provides the soft landings, quick transitions, and powerful toe offs that we rely on. The newly added texturized lugs enhance our footing, providing a confidence-boosting level of security.
