HOKA Speedgoat 5 Shoe

If you don't notice a number of these shoes at any given ultra race, you may be looking up. The HOKA Speedgoat 5 and its previous 4 iterations continue to set trends in ultra-marathon technology and have an overwhelming presence at long-distance events. Over the years, HOKA has managed to consistently lower the weight and increase the cushion making this a workhorse for technical trails. The new jacquard mesh upper provides excellent foothold and a new outsole will inspire confidence on uneven singletrack. An upgraded CMEVA midsole, adding a bit of cushion and responsiveness, is a welcome addition that your feet will thank you for somewhere around mile 55 at 4 am. The Speedgoat 5 continues its tradition of innovation, yet stays true to its roots of being one of the best technical ultra-distance trail shoes.

SkyRun Fit Tip - We find the Speedgoat 5 to fit true to US sizes.

• Vibram's Megagrip with Traction Lugs provide multidirectional grip.
• Protective toe cap helps with surprise roots and rocks.
• Late-stage Meta-Rocker for a quick and smooth turnover.
