We concluded that the Hoka hoka one one speedgoat mid 2 gore tex trail sneakers item is an excellent choice for:
- Enthusiasts of Hoka trail shoes looking for a waterproof addition to their collection.
- Runners seeking a versatile, Gore-Tex running shoe that's capable on trails and even occasional road use.
- Trail runners in need of a winter-ready shoe with a HOKA Speedgoat 5 for enhanced grip.
- Those looking for a Gore-Tex shoe that also offers good breathability.
Who should NOT buy
The Hoka hoka one one speedgoat mid 2 gore tex trail sneakers item is undeniably heavy, and there's no getting around that fact. If lightness is your priority, we think it's a good idea to skip the waterproof feature due to the Gore-Tex membrane's weight.
In this case, we suggest considering the non-GTX Speedgoat 5 or the Nike Pegasus Trail 4. For ultra runners prioritising speed and a carbon plate over waterproofing, the Nike Ultrafly is worth a look.
Another aspect that didn't impress us in the lab was the hoka one one speedgoat mid 2 gore tex trail sneakers item's performance on extremely challenging terrains, like mud. For such conditions, a shoe with larger, chevron-shaped lugs, like the Salomon Speedcross 6 GTX, will offer superior performance.
Breathability
The hoka one one speedgoat mid 2 gore tex trail sneakers item features a double-layer jacquard mesh with a Gore-Tex membrane. From our lab testing experiences with Gore-Tex shoes, we expected a low score in breathability—typically a 1 out of 5. But, to our surprise, the hoka one one speedgoat mid 2 gore tex trail sneakers item earned a 3 out of 5!
Why the higher score? While the toebox lacks airflow, Hoka opened up the tongue, allowing effective heat and moisture escape.
However, water can enter the shoe through the ventilated tongue. So, we recommend not submerging the shoe beyond that level.
When we held the upper to the light, the toebox and medial parts' lack of ventilation was evident—no light passed through.
For more evidence, we headed to our lab's microscope.
There, we saw the thick, dense mesh we anticipated. After leaving the microscope, we examined the Speedgoat's unique construction.
Unlike most shoes, Hoka positioned the GTX membrane inside rather than outside the upper. Additionally, the mesh is made of 44% recycled materials, which is always a big plus!

Durability
Toebox durability
The TPU overlays on the hoka one one speedgoat mid 2 gore tex trail sneakers item hinted at an impressive result—they cover a significant portion of the mesh.
True to our expectations, in our Dremel test, this shoe scored a 4 out of 5, nearly acing it. You can look forward to exceptional durability, even if you're hitting hard, rocky trails.

It seems like they're aiming for a balance between grip and durability.

Outsole durability
In our final Dremel test, we put the rubber to the ultimate challenge.
After a brutal test, we examined the results—it was a draw! With a 1.1-mm indentation, the outcome was decent but not extraordinary.

Outsole thickness
With a 2.5-mm thickness, the outsole of the hoka one one speedgoat mid 2 gore tex trail sneakers item has enough rubber to ensure long-lasting wear, judging from our previous results. There's nothing to worry about here, so let's move on.

Weight
Here's where it gets interesting. In the lab, the hoka one one speedgoat mid 2 gore tex trail sneakers item weighed in at 11.3 oz or 319g. In comparison, the non-GTX Speedgoat 5 is lighter, tipping the scales at 9.77 oz or 277g. This means it's 15% lighter.
So, the question is, do you need waterproofing enough to give up 1.5 oz of lightness?

Cushioning
Heel stack
The hoka one one speedgoat mid 2 gore tex trail sneakers item, with its 34.6 mm stack height, offers a high cushioning level, enabling runners to tackle long distances on trails. It's even suitable for those ultra races with river crossings or wet conditions.

In the forefoot, we measured 27.6 mm, which is above the average and provides a fantastic amount of protection.
Midfoot and forefoot strikers can be confident they'll have plenty of cushioning!

Drop
We noticed a 7.0-mm drop from the forefoot to the heel, which is quite different from Hoka's stated 4-mm drop. But remember, in our lab, we stick to World Athletics guidelines.
It's interesting to see these differences between what brands say and our findings. To understand more about why this happens, check out our detailed guide.

Midsole softness
In the midsole, we found CMEVA foam. This means no superfoams like PEBA for the Speedgoat 5 yet, and we don't expect them anytime soon.
But, this foam performs really well, definitely enhancing the performance compared to regular EVA foam.
It's bouncy, comfortable, and softer than many running shoes. It scored 19.4 HA on our durometer test. To get an accurate result, we measured it after cutting the shoe in half, which is a necessary step.

Midsole softness in cold
To check how cold temperatures might change the hoka one one speedgoat mid 2 gore tex trail sneakers item feel, we put it in the freezer for 20 minutes before testing it once more.
After leaving the ice cream alone, the shoe was noticeably firmer, registering 30.3 HA on our test.

Stability
Lateral stability test
Regarding stability, the hoka one one speedgoat mid 2 gore tex trail sneakers item offers the same reliable, steady experience as its non-waterproof counterpart.
While it's not specifically designed as a stability shoe, even runners needing a bit of support will find they fare quite well in this shoe.
Torsional rigidity
A significant part of the stability in the hoka one one speedgoat mid 2 gore tex trail sneakers item comes from its high torsional rigidity.
We rated it 4 out of 5, indicating it's quite substantial. So keep in mind that it may feel a bit stiff for those looking for a more flexible trail running experience.

Heel counter stiffness
The heel counter seemed pretty average to us, offering enough flexibility to be comfortable for any runner. We gave it a 3 out of 5 score, which aligns with most trail shoes. It shows that Hoka chose a safe, risk-free approach here.

Midsole width in the forefoot
One of the most celebrated aspects of the Speedgoat series is its stability, which might surprise runners at first glance.
Hoka manages to deliver fantastic stability, largely thanks to the previously mentioned torsional stiffness and also the shoe's impressive width. Measuring 116.7 mm, it provides a generous landing platform, effectively preventing the foot from collapsing laterally.

This benefit isn't just for forefoot strikers.
With 95.3 mm in the heel, the shoe also offers the same width in the rearfoot. This makes it suitable for heel strikers who have mild pronation issues.

Flexibility
Stiffness
The fit is very comfortable, but don't expect a shoe crafted for those with wide feet.
At 99.1 mm, it's designed to be comfortable but, at the same time, to enhance stability. We think this is the right approach for this shoe. However, if you plan on racing ultras, consider going half size up.

The hoka one one speedgoat mid 2 gore tex trail sneakers item is a zapatillas de running HOKA amortiguación media talla 49.5 más de 100 designed to handle all kinds of terrain. Its 3.5 mm lugs are of average length, versatile enough to manage wet, sticky single tracks and still perform well on harder, packed trails.
HOKA Speedgoat 5, although not the lighter Litebase edition. Maybe for the Speedgoat 6?
We tested the shoe across a wide range of terrains. From our experience, it performed at its best on easy-to-moderate trails and gravel roads.

Tongue padding
In the tongue padding department, the hoka one one speedgoat mid 2 gore tex trail sneakers item is quite lean, with only 2.9 mm of padding.
This is on the lower side, so those who often have issues with the instep should be careful when tightening the laces on this shoe. Or you can try an alternative lacing technique from our guide.
However, aside from that, it does its job well, providing great functionality and the added bonus of weight savings.

The Speedgoat 5 doesn't have a heel tab, but like many Hoka shoes, it features a swallowtail that can be pulled if needed. It's not enough to call it heel tab, but you can definitely grab it.
