My new addition of the HOKA Speedgoat 5 GTX Trail's did not dissapoint. I have tried and loved so many Hoka's before these so I thought I'd give them a try for my recent adventure. Gore-Tex was much appreciated after having to rinsethem off after the days activity every day. Absolutely waterproof! Great tracking on the trails. No breaking-in required. Held up great for long days on the trail.

Great for theme Parks

These shoes are awesome! Bought these to walk around a theme park 2 days in a row. Walked about 10 miles both days. Very comfortable! Also being new shoes I expected some blistering cause they definitely not broke in but no blisters what so ever. Also they got completely submerged in water riding a water ride and they dried out fairly quickly. Can't wait to go on an actual hike with these bad boys.

A- Lightweight, comfy,GTX, great for trail/road. Sole soft.

A- Lightweight, comfy,GTX, great for trail/road. Sole soft. Great grip on trail and solid feel. No issues with moisture or water. Dries quick. Love Hoka overall but they need to make these in WIDE. Fit is tight even if you don't use wide which I don't. I just like splaying my toes. Tested in Utah mountains.

LOVE Hokas

Every pair I have ( 8 ) at this point are comfortable, stylish, and well made. Always exactly what I want.

first purchase from hoka

this is the first product i bought from hoka and i will probably buy from them again

Not as expected

The sneakers have hard plastic on the outer edges and didn't feel like my last pairl

Great trail shoe

Fits great and comfortable right out of the box. Would buy this shoe again

Great fitting shoe

Shoe fits great and true to size. I remove the Hoka padding and replace it with an orthotic since I lean outwards and it is still comfortable. It is water-proof and hugs the grassy steep hills I run twice a week.

Waterproofing a little warm

These have been great all-around trail runners, hiking, and indoor running shoes. I wanted the GTX waterproofing and it works great, but it does cause them to run a little warm while active which was to be expected. Breathability is impressive though, even with the GTX layer so no build-up of excess moisture, just temperature. The feel is great, the cushion is soft throughout which is nice as a forefoot striker. The tread is insane and a testament to the Vibram outsoles. They provide a certain rigidity to the shoe that was both surprising and also welcomed out on the trails. I've noticed a small amount of fraying on both shoes but I've been putting them through the ringer, even wearing them into the office some days! Overall, very happy with their performances.

Satisfied customer

So far so good. I will have a better idea after my ultra in a couple of weeks.
