Customer Reviews Hoka Speedgoat 5

I am on my feet on concrete floors for 8-10 hours a day. Other brands hadn't been supportive and I was experiencing a lot of pain and fatigue in my legs and feet. These shoes were recommended so I gave them a try. I believe my first steps were followed by a, "ohhh, wow!". It's like permanently walking on an anti fatigue mat!

Had to buy Speedgoats as couldn't get the Hoka Challengers which I have been wearing for a couple years. New shoes: After 2, 15 mile runs I developed sharp toe pain ( toe 4 and 5) that curbed my enthusiasm for my ultra training. Did find some Hoka Challengers on line and immediately ran a total of 9 hours in 3 days with zero issues, and my love of running trails has returned! I think maybe the Soeedgoat arch a little too elevated for me and the toe box too narrow? Hopefully the Challengers won't be discontinued!

Comfortable, lightweight and true to size. I walk a lot for my job and they are by far the best shoe. This is my 2nd pair and will continue to purchase.

Never bought a pair of Hokas before. Saw a coworker with this particular style and thought they were cute! Ordered them that day, received them a few days later. Today is my first day wearing them to work(I'm a nurse), and they are sooooo comfortable and do not feel like they are new or need to be broken in! I'm very impressed!

I bought one pair of the speedgoats to try out before deciding if I wanted another pair. They were so light and comfortable from the start that after coming home from that trail run, I ordered another pair. The color selection is amazing too. I had a really hard time deciding which pair I wanted.

The colors are beautiful. But in general, it was difficult to match with my clothing. The shoes grabbed too much attention.

After wearing the shoes for two days I experienced lower back pain. I took a break for 2 days and tried again experiencing the same results.

They look great. Not as cushy as i hoped. Hardly any arch support. Nice treads.

Shoes feel to wide

I am on my feet in a medical office daily. While I switch up the shoes I wear my HOKA's are my favorite.

Haven't had the opportunity to wear the shoes hiking yet, but the fit is great so far and I expect the shoes will be perfect for long hikes.

Sadly I had to return them. The fit just wasn't right for my foot. I like that there are so many fun colors to choose from. Maybe I'll try another style at some point.

Fit perfect and are very comfortable. Needed no breaking in, just felt great from the start.

I was very excited to wear these shoes. I tried them on the first day but didn't wear them. Thought they had a good fit. The first time I wore the shoes, today, I noticed one shoe (the right) felt higher than the left. Thought I was going crazy. Got to work, took off the shoes, placed both on my desk, and sure enough the right shoe was about 1/8 inch higher, visibly noticeable in the back and sides. Never had that happen with any shoe before. Must have been a factory defect. Hopefully, just an isolated issue. Had to return the shoes. Ordered a different pair. Hopefully, the new ones will fare better.

I have been wearing Hokas for years and they are my favorite trail running shoe.

When I opened the box and put on my new Speedgoat#5, I was screaming with joy! Absolutely fantastic! Beautiful, comfortable, extremely light! Great product! Highly recommended!

Perfect in every way. Very happy with the pair of shoes -always consistent, high quality.

These shoes are soooo comfortable! I'm on my feet for close to 7 hrs a day. I have no pain at all with these shoes!

As a retired woman, I do volunteer work at the cancer Institute here in Fresno. I am on my feet a lot and I cannot believe the level of comfort. I feel now that I got these shoes. I never thought I'd spend this much on tennis shoes, but I am so glad I did, it makes a world of difference in how my back and knees no longer hurt after a day of work .

I work in a hospital and work 12 hour shifts. Was looking for something that is a good standing/ walking shoe that has excellent support and vision. These shoes are just that! I have tried ever my shoe under the sun. I rotate between 3 different types of shoes each week to help with foot and back pain. However, the company advertises this shoe as a hiking/ trail running shoe- I beg to differ on that it is very "clunky" and wide. Not nimble enough to run or hike in.

I have Plantar Fasciitis, and horrible knees. Ever since I've worn Hoka, paired with carbon fiber insoles, my pain is so much less!

So far they've made a huge difference when running, color is a little different than pictured, but love the color more! Great purchase. I did got up half a size because I will be running a marathon with them and want the most comfort (if my feet swell a little etc)

I have been an avid hoka buyer for years now. I wear the bondi's for work (I'm a nurse) and have always loved the speed-goats for trail running. I am lucky if the speed goats last me 6 weeks now. They fall apart so quickly, the midsole literally comes apart within 100 miles of trail and the sock like upper tears and rips, leaving holes also within 50-100miles. The speed-goats 2-4 were amazing and my go to shoe and now I cannot justify spending the money on the speed goat 5 because this is my second pair within 6 months and they just do not last. It is apparent that hoka is no longer targeting people that actually run off of pavement with the speed-goats.
