Hoka has really stepped up its trail shoe game recently. The Mafate Speed, Zinal, double carbon plate-packing Tecton X 2, and hybrid Challenger 7 have all been standout additions to the Hoka family, but it’s the Speedgoat 5 that’s the true goat here.

This is a trail shoe with which you can roll through mixed terrain, keeping it roomy at the toes and available in regular and wide fits to make sure it’s well suited for long-distance outings. It’s noticeably lighter than the previous Speedgoat model, and weight has also been cut from the CMEVA midsole, which still offers a satisfying level of cushioning. With Hoka’s late-stage Meta-Rocker, this does a fine job of getting you up on your toes when you want to pick up the pace. The Vibram outsole is tough and built to take a serious pounding, with 5-millimeter lugs to grip strong on hard and soft ground. Take it easy or speed things up on even more challenging terrain and the Speedgoat 5 is one trail shoe you won’t be disappointed to have on your feet.
