Hoka Speedgoat 5 Womens Trail Running Shoes Black/Evening Primrose

This is the most popular cushioned trail running shoe from Hoka , the ladies Hoka Speedgoat 5.

The Speedgoat 5 improves on four incredibly popular shoes, with thousands of customers providing feedback. This time around, Hoka have reduced some weight, given the toe box a little more room for some natural expansion and the new Vibram Megagrip is even grippier. They haven’t lowered the stack height to achieve these improvement, but lightened the midsole foam and reduced overlays where not needed.

All Hoka trail running shoes like the Speedgoat 5 have an early stage meta-rocker, which in essence is a curvature to encourage your foot to transition quickly from landing to toe off. As a result, Hoka shoes often “feel quick” even for their high level of comfort and cushion.

The Hoka Speedgoat 5 wide is also available for those who like more room.

Review – Speedgoat 4 vs Speedgoat 5

Review – Speedgoat 5 GTX

Hoka describe the womens Speedgoat 5 as: “A workhorse designed for technical trails, the Speedgoat returns as a new shoe from outsole to laces. This trail beast is updated with Vibram® Megagrip with Traction Lug for upgraded grip and braking power on loose soil. A whole 21 grams lighter, the much grippier fifth Speedgoat edition features many enhancements to improve performance. 

Weight reduction also comes from fewer overlays – helping us work towards a more sustainable construction. Enveloping the toe and forefoot, a dynamic textile component lends exceptional flexibility and comfort during toe-off, as well as accommodating for potential foot swell, a feature seen in Mafate Speed 3, Evo Mafate 2 and Evo Speedgoat. Refinements to the tongue further add to the feeling of enhanced comfort to the top of the foot, adjacent to the ankle where friction can occur.

Its midsole compound is even lighter than before, delivering HOKA’s signature smooth ride without reducing the stack height. This, combined with a double layered-jacquard mesh ensures our latest trail superstar inspires confidence on any terrain.”
