Features
Be a trailblazer in the HOKA Speedgoat 5.
With more traction and less weight, the HOKA Speedgoat 5 has been redesigned to take on the trails with ease. HOKA added Vibram® Megagrip with Traction Lugs to give you more grip, particularly on loose soil and dirt. The redesigned placement gives you more lugs in the heel and toe area to provide more durability and help you handle slippery or uneven terrain.
HOKA also re-engineered the midsole compound and made it lighter so the Speedgoat 5 gives you HOKA’s signature soft marshmallow ride through the trails. A late-stage meta-rocker helps roll you through your gait—making mountain climbs easier and allowing you to barrel downhill for a smooth and propulsive ride.
The upper of the Speedgoat 5 features a stretchy double jacquard mesh to give you the confidence to take on the trails. It improves both the comfort and durability of the shoe. Our reviewers loved the more lock-down fit that the new upper gave them in our HOKA Speedgoat 5 review.
There is a protective toe rand that gives extra protection against rocks and trail debris. Plus, HOKA re-designed the heel counter, giving it an extended heel tab to make it easier to pull on and prevent any rubbing at the Achilles.
The HOKA Speedgoat 5 gives you the cushion and grip to make it one of the best trail shoes for your next adventure.

What’s New
HOKA advanced the Speedgoat 5 while still keeping the same sensation as previous versions. They reworked the outsole by adding Vibram® Megagrip with Traction Lugs to give you more grip. A new, lighter midsole compound reduces the shoe’s weight. Finally, HOKA redesigned the upper with an extended heel tab and a more durable double jacquard mesh that stretches for a better fit.
Who It’s Best For
The HOKA Speedgoat 5 is great for trail runners of all abilities. This is a super versatile trail shoe that people at any speed or distance will love. Whether you are just getting into hiking and trail running or you are a blazing fast ultramarathon runner, the HOKA Speedgoat’s combination of cushion and grip is great on the trails.
Why You’ll Love It
You will love the cushion and grip in the HOKA Speedgoat 5 and that it all comes in an even lighter package. This is a great shoe if you are hiking on some gravel trails or running through mountainous technical terrain.

Life saver for plantar faciitus.
After buying the light blue Speedgoat on sale elsewhere. I wanted another speedgoat5 in another color. Malta store had one in my size but same color I had. So I bought this online. They call it Lake- ceramic- it a rad color.

Great but narrow
Ordered these as I love my tecton x trail runners. Left shoe felt snug but comfortable. The right though was painful on side of arch. Felt like I was stepping on the side sole when walkng/standing. It’s unfortunate and I wanted to like them as the color I selected was not available in the wide version. So unfortunately returning these. But aside from the one issue. They were great quality and the comfort outside the one issue was nice. Was also my first online order through fleet feet. Amazingly quick shipping
