Verdict
The Hoka Speedgoat 5 is a high-performing option in its class — a max cushion trail scoring 87/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 298g, it is standard weight for a max cushion trail. The 32mm heel stack — a generous stack — delivers a plush and deeply cushioned ride at 25 HC, returning 56% of impact energy and feeling moderately responsive underfoot. Geometrically, the Speedgoat 5 runs on a low 4mm drop that suits midfoot and forefoot strikers, with a 28mm forefoot stack that creates a naturally ground-hugging feel. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 100mm — extra-wide, suited to broad or bunion-prone feet — and the upper is available in D/2E widths. Wide toe box. True to size. It is designed for mountain runs, technical terrain, ultras, long days, and performs less well for fast flat trails or road running.
