Hoka One One - Speedgoat 5

Summary

This is truly an amazing shoe!  I put 150 miles on these shoes so far and have loved every moment.  Plenty of grip and the upper is more comfortable than previous models.  All day comfort for the long mile runs!!

Hoka One One Speedgoat 5

All in all a great trail shoe for training and racing.  I have worn these shoes for training and now my first 50k race.  This shoes has done a great job.  I run on some rooty and rocky trails so having the megagrip is a must to keep from sliding all over the place.  The upper is much improved especially in the toe box for my feet.  Even after a 6 hour run my feet still feel good.  

My only complaint or request would be for better toe protection.  I've kicked a few rocks from time to time and having a bit more protection would nice.  But that is very minor in my opinion so this is still my go to trail shoe for sure.  I'll probably grab another pair just to rotate so I can get more time out of them.

Experience

I have ran in previous versions of the Speedgoat and have to say this is a great improvement.  Weight, fit, and feel are all improved over previous models.
