Pretty happy with the SG4. The upper material is thinner than the SG3 and is a little bit closer to that magic stretchy upper material in the SG EVO.
I've had small issues with the tongue on both pair of SG4 I've got. 1st pair had some separation of the thin fabric and on the new one (with the white and blue color way) was really digging into the top of my foot in my recent 100 miler. The design of the more padded tongue on the SG3 was more comfortable.
Still a solid shoe I can expect to put 400+ miles on and I'll keep purchasing as we move forward.
If anybody reading this can add some padding to the tongue, that would be very cool of you.

Use this shoe to run daily in my local redwood forest! Perfect shoe for the best running spot I know.

10th pair of Speedgoat 4s. I live in Northern Arizona and frequently run canyon trails. These shoes are very durable, comfortable and breathable. Best trail shoes I’ve had compared to Pearl Izumi (discontinued), Brooks and Altra.

Fourth pair of these in wide and I still love them. Perfect for long trail runs. My favorite trail shoe ever for the mix of comfort, cushion and traction.

Sizing is inline with other brands. I use trail running for hiking. Coming from Altra Lone Peak, I wanted more grip and a bit more cushion but didn't want to pay for the Olympus 4's. While not having the foot shape of the Altra, I went with the EE wide. 35 miles over two hikes and I am super happy. Very comfortable shoe and more than I expected.
I'd also recommend:
Altra

After heavy rain, I got stuck on the trail in a washout. I was amazed at how the Speedgoats handled the water and mud. The grip was better than I expected and the water sponged out with every stride. Even after 7 miles with wet socks the shoes never slipped or rubbed the wrong way. I will be buying this shoes again!

Like these a lot. Finished last 700 miles of AT thru hike with previous pair. They were beat by the end but... 700 very hard miles! Have been wearing these for short hikes a couple times a week. Super comfortable right out of box. Like that they are available in wide. Stock insole was a throwaway. Alway wear orthotics.

This pair of Hoka's is the most comfortable shoe I own. I am not a runner and I wear these for everyday use. Very light and super comfortable.

If you need core/back/hip/shin support while you're walking and running, give the gift of these shoes to yourself. They feel comfortable within the first ten minutes, and very shortly, you forget you have them on. Oh, and they're waterproof too. Helloooooo!

I had the chance to borrow some Speedgoat 4s in size 11 (I normally wear a 10.5 or 11 in Merrell) and I realized right away why they call them "Speed GOATs" - these shoes have some kind of magic in the sole... So I came home and bought a pair of 11 mediums from Zappos - and I took them on a trial hike in the Blue Ridge mountains just after a rain and they were stunning! I did one-mile in my nearly-new Merrell Moab 2s (still love these for dry conditions) and then the same mile in the SG4s and I realized right away I never knew the amount of slipping and sliding on wet trails (rocks, roots, leaves) was something I'd just thought was normal. The Speedgoat 4s chewed up the trail, sped me up, and felt incredible grippy. I can not recommend them highly enough; especially if you hike where it is often wet or rocky on the trail.

These shoes are some of the softest cushioned shoes I've ever owned. Noticeably softer that my standard running shoes. These worked great on the trails. Trails are somewhat maintained so nothing overly rough, but I do feel like these shoes would still be great with a less manicured trail. I have no trouble with stability nor do I feel foot fatigue like I did with my sneakers and older trail shoes. I wear socks that go slightly above the top of the shoe so I did not notice any issues with the more rigid tongue that were mentioned in some reviews. Overall I would certainly recommend these to anyone for off road running/hiking. I will repeat business with Hoka once my current running shoes wear out and again when these trail shoes need replaced.

Bought for a long Spartan race coming up. Love the feel of them when training as they are perfect for trail. Show tongue is tall so higher socks are recommended so they don't run ankle

Its rare to find a hiking shoe that fits as well as these and has a supportive sole that isn't soft and flimsy underfoot. I bought another pair within a week. I love these shows! Bravo Hoka. Don't "improve" them please!!
