@tacdoc8736 2 жыл бұрын

Nice review Steven! Found you looking for reviews on the SG5 and subscribed. I don't really have a wide foot, but went to a wide size in the SG4 for more room in the toe box. It just had no accommodation, when compared to the Evo SG that I wore until they were discontinued. The Evo also felt narrow but the flexible section, between the laces and toes, allowed it to work pretty well for me over distance. I would've probably went wide in those also, if it was an option.... so i'm leaning towards wide in these. My only concern is that the upper seems even more pliable than the Evo, which had the kevlar threads to keep things snug without having to crank the laces down.

@UltraTrailSteven 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks, Tac Doc! Yeah the upper of the SG5 is more pliable, and the vamp (flexible section between laces and toe box) does provide some stretch too

@UltraTrailSteven 2 жыл бұрын

Depends on the terrain and conditions. If it’s muddy, the SG5 would be better. If it’s crushed gravel or easy trail the ATR’s would be good. Personally I feel more stable in the ATRs

@TrailSage 2 жыл бұрын

That run in the Smokeys was impressive... if the Speedgoat handled that I am confident it could handle anything. Glad to hear the weight dropped from the previous model. Do you think the lack of overlays in the front could lead to less durability? The tongue issue really seems like a big miss on Hoka's part, hope they address it in the next version. Sad too hear the price went up but it sounds like its worth it.

@UltraTrailSteven 2 жыл бұрын

There is still a toe bumper on the front, and the dual layered jacquard mesh seems to be pretty durable. Obviously a sharp stick may poke it, but overall, I think it will hold up fine. I agree; the tongue was a major issue on the SG4. Hoka missed it big on that. Well with all the price increases for materials, the shoe going up 10 bucks is understandable. Thanks, Sage!

@skunkchasing Жыл бұрын

Unless I'm mistaken, according to hoka's website the speedgoat 5 isn't a 'maximal' cushioned shoe. It's classified as a 'balanced' eva sole (middle of the road btwn' responsive' - thicker and 'plush' - thinner).

@UltraTrailSteven Жыл бұрын

In most peoples opinion, the Goat has always been a maximal shoe by stack height and cushion. Feels quite plush underfoot.

Hi great review thanks. I love the SG4 but like you I find them a bit unstable, what would you recommend that is similar but more stable? Thank you

@UltraTrailSteven 2 жыл бұрын

The Saucony Xodus is a maximally cushioned shoe that is more stable, but it is heavier. However, the Xodus Ultra is out now and is lighter weight. The Salomon Ultra Glide is great too, but the midsole won’t last long.

The tongue is wide enough and with the 2 laces pass-through the gusset didn’t seem necessary. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Another prominent reviewer said the upper (over some use) begins to stretch and become looser fit (making it tougher to lock in a good fit) and not go back to original. Did you notice this in your review as well? Seems like the Evo had the better upper due to this issue and had superior breath ability I’m guessing too. Lastly, seems like today (15th) is when these were to be released but not seeing it).
