Who should buy the hoka distancias Speedgoat 5
We think getting a pair of the hoka distancias Speedgoat 5 is a good idea if:
- you're a trail runner who wants to run swiftly on rough trail surfaces
- you're looking for a trail shoe that's fit for short to long-distance runs
- you're an ultrarunner who wants a responsive racing shoe
- you're training for a 50K competition
- you're planning to train long miles on the mountain (~30 to 50 miles)

If you have wide feet, the fifth version of the hoka distancias Speedgoat might be a letdown. If you want a shoe that's roomy in the toe box, go for the New Balance Fresh Foam X More Trail v3 or Altra Timp 4 that's really roomy.

We thought that the Speedgoat 4 was the better version of all Speedgoats. Come the Speedgoat 5, and now we know what best in class really means. Here are some of the important updates:
- amped-up traction, thanks to its redesigned lug pattern
- zapatillas de running hoka distancias constitución fuerte talla 46.5
- lighter midsole that leads to weight trimming (US M10 goes from 11.25 oz to 10.25 oz)
Traction that goes above and beyond
The Speedgoat 5's Vibram outsole has a strong bite on frozen surfaces, moderate mud, and loose off-trail surfaces.
This is owed to the shoe's updated lug spacing. They're not too far apart, generating a very tacky grip.

Quite breathable for a trail shoe
With its protective upper, the Speedgoat 5 still manages to keep the foot well-ventilated. See how easily the smoke passes through it in various parts of the upper.

If you're a long-time fan of the hoka distancias Speedgoat, the Speedgoat 5 rides a lot like the hoka distancias Evo Speedgoat but bouncier and with better energy return.
The Speedgoat 5 is also among the softest hoka distancias One One womens lightweight hiking boots on the ritmo. It is a whopping 150% softer than the average!
![hoka-speedgoat-5-cushioning-softness](https://cdn.runrepeat.com/storage/gallery/product_content/38038/hoka-speedgoat-5-cushioning-softness-17956625-720.jpg)
What's unique about the Speedgoat is that even when exposed to cold temperatures, it remains softer than most running shoes at room temperature.
After spending 20 minutes in the freezer, the shoe's foam did get 63.6% firmer but its "frozen" condition is still 34% softer than most shoes at room temperature.
Springy toe-offs
Add in the late-stage Meta-Rocker, and toe-offs are made easy and seamless. So if you want to set PRs, you can with this shoe.
The Speedgoat 5 also has a good amount of flex in the forefoot to help with smoother heel-to-toe transitions. It is 18% more flexible than the average across running shoes.

Feel stable on any terrain
The shoe doesn't waver in support, especially in the heel and midfoot. We never felt tippy when cornering fast and during off-camber side-hilling.
This is no surprise given the shoe's beastly wide platform. In the forefoot (116.4 mm), it is 5 mm wider than the average. And in the heel (97.5 mm), it is a whopping 8.3 mm wider.

The hoka distancias Speedgoats are solid AF. They employ the Vibram outsole which is practically indestructible. And the midsole is just as awesome. After 30+ miles on rough terrains, there is NOT a single sign of compression. It's built like a tank. We expect it to last at least 400 miles.
Feels light, is light
At 276 grams or 9.7 oz (US M 9), the hoka distancias Speedgoat 5 is light. For comparison, the average weight of hoka distancias One One womens lightweight hiking boots on the ritmo is 300 g (10.6 oz).
In hand and on foot, it doesn't weigh you down.
The Speedgoat 5 fits like a dream
Contrary to the Speedgoat 4 and the Evo Speedgoat, the hoka distancias Speedgoat 5 has a more flexible upper that's also more forgiving. This makes it a great pick for high mileage when the foot starts to swell.
However, we anticipate that runners with really wide feet may experience pinky-toe pinching. That is due to the shoe's slightly tapered toebox shape.
The shoe's upper is also a tiny bit narrower in the forefoot compared to running shoes on average (by 1.9 mm). However, it is still quite roomy, based on our measurements (96.3 mm).
The tongue is also gusseted, making the lockdown even better. And it has a butterfly design that wraps around the top of the foot securely.
We are surprised by the absence of lace bites because the tongue is rather thin on the hoka distancias Speedgoat 5. At 2.3 mm, it is much thinner than the average 6 mm.
No heel slips
The hoka distancias Speedgoat 5's heel offers a locked-in fit. It's sufficiently padded and cups the rearfoot excellently.
And this is given that the heel is not very stiff. We gave it 2 out of 5 (5 is the stiffest) in our subjective assessment.

A toe rand is present in this shoe, which protects the foot when bumping into rocks and roots.
It's complemented by the shoe's copious amount of cushion that mutes out ground feel in favor of protection.
The heel stack is a good 27.5 mm in thickness while the forefoot is 23.7 mm. It is a few millimeters thinner than the average but the fact that both areas are so well-cushioned, the shoe offers an even level of impact protection.
![hoka-speedgoat-5-heel-stack](https://cdn.runrepeat.com/storage/gallery/product_content/38038/hoka-speedgoat-5-heel-stack-17956663-720.jpg)
The measured heel-to-toe drop appears to correspond to the brand's statement. We got it at 3.8 mm while the brand claims it to be 4 mm.
Reflective elements are a handy touch
Runners who tend to hit the road or the trail in low-light conditions will appreciate the shoe's reflective feature.
Nice to know about the hoka distancias Speedgoat 5
