Whether it's a long run or a recovery hike on our plan we're lacing into the HOKA Speedgoat Mid 5 GTX Trail Running Shoe. The compression-molded EVA platform gives our strikes long-lasting shock absorption while the raised collar late-stage meta-rocker and multi-directional lugs all work together to stabilize our strides. As we bound atop mud and through water crossings the breezy GORE-TEX membrane shuts out the muck and the wet to keep our feet comfortably dry from first mile to last.
