I want a shoe that has the cushion and drop of my Hoka Speedgoat with the toebox of my Altra Olympus 4.0.

Make my day.

Beware they do run very narrow at the toe and are not for everyone. If you needed the extra toe room you could look to the Hoka EVO Speedgoat,. EVO Mafate 2 or the Mafate Speed 3, all of which are high cushioned but have a stretchy bit of fabric over the toe, which can make the fit more accommodating.

I currently run in Nike Pegasus Trail Gore Tex. they are ok. But not great. 

Recently switched my road shoes to Hoka Rincon 2 for slower, longer runs and Saucony Endorphin Pro for speed runs.  I quite like the cushioning on the Rincons and am now looking for a trail shoe. 

I am nervous as the Speedgoat 4 were originally released January 2020 and the speedgoat 3 the January before that. So a little concerned that a Speedgoat 5 comes out soon.

Need a new pair of shoes. Are the Hoka One One Speedgoat 4s a good choice?

What do you guys use for those long days of running intermixed with walking? 

After 6 or so hours, my soles hurt and I always wish I wore something with more protection or a rock plate. But a more protective shoe is harder to run in.

I've been looking at the Salomon XA pro 3D V8. Anyone run in these shoes?

Shoes for long days of running &amp; hiking

I’ve done a couple ultras in loose snow, which felt a lot like running in sand to me. I’ve used both the SpeedCross and Hoka SpeedGoat. The ‘goats might have had the advantage due to the much wider sole helping with flotation, but I felt they got a lot heavier when wet. In all instances I studded the soles with about 8 sheet metal screws at the end of some select lugs, which I felt helped with a little extra grip even when ice wasn’t an issue

Wondering if anyone had any advice about shoes that may be better suited for sandy environments. I’m used to running in rocky, rooty, muddy Vermont environments and want to be better prepared for a trail that is relatively flat but very sandy. I currently sport the Salomon speed cross 5s and have used them in sand before but really don’t feel like the larger lugs give any advantage

Recommendations for trail shoes for sand

For years I wore boots (really heavy), then shoes (heavy) and now trail runners (not so heavy). I prefer the Hoka One Speedgoat trail runners. They are good for dry conditions, have great grip and stability (for me). I have never had ankle stability issues, so it works great

 They are good for dry conditions, have great grip and stability (for me). I have never had ankle stability issues, so it works great.

Does anyone backpack with trail running shoes? If boots, do you use actual “backpacking” boots or just something with ankle support?

, (4) have great cushioning for all-day wear on sharp surfaces, and (5) are not so heavy that I feel like I'm fighting the shoe when picking up the pace. I've run in Altra Timps and Lone Peaks, Brooks Caldera 4, La Sportiva Jackal, Salomon Sense Ride 3, and Topo MTN Racer 1s and none of these had all-day underfoot cushioning and protection against sharps like the Speedgoats. The durability of my Speedgoats have been good.

I’m looking to purchase a new pair of trail running shoes as I’ve beat the boots I’ve been using to death. I like the look of some of the Nikes (pegasus trail 2 gtx, wildhorse 7) but I wanted some input from yall. I tend to run on pretty rough terrain (up mountains and such) so don’t wanna get something too delicate. 

Thanks!

New trail running shoes

I run in the Speedgoat 3s and the Speedgoat 4 is a step back for me with regards to weight since it got heavier. The Speedgoat Evo on the other hand, is a huge improvement and superior to the Speedgoat 3 and 4.

For 3 season hiking I chose Hoka speedgoat 3, followed very closely by the brooks cascadia. They're both VERY comfortable shoes that are light and breath + dry very well. Lightness + Breathability + Drying quickly > a heavy gnarly boot that tries to keep you clean and dry but inevitably will get water logged from sweat anyway or the elements, just might take longer vs a trail runner. Also 1 pound on your foot is 5 pounds on your back

Hello guys,

I'm  new to hiking but my girlfriend finally convinced me to go to a hiking  trip with her, somewhere around Schönau am Königssee and on the mountain area around it (nothing extreme tho). I've been looking for some proper shoes cause I'm  pretty sure I would regret it if I go with my ultra boost, and I've  found a few alternative:

1. Salomon  Quest Prime GTX: The only boots. Is it okay or overkill? I think it's  the most robust of them all and I can wear it when hiking during winter  or ski vacation. (114 euro)
2. Salomon  XA Pro 3D V8: trail runners, seems really comfy. However, no  waterproofness (can't use it in winter). I don't know if it offers  enough protection and grip? (96 euro)
3. Salomon  Trailster 2 GTX: quite similer to the XA, with GTX waterproofness.  However I've heard some controversy regarding GTX on trail runners (too  warm, sweaty feet). (72 euro)
4. Last  but not least: Merell Moab 2 (vents or GTX). Mother of all boots.  Almost bought the vents one immediately but read that it's really,  really prone to getting wet (even with just some wet grass). Not sure if  it's true and if I should just get the GTX version. Both around 80-90  euro.

What do you guys  think? Sadly I can't go to Globetrotter cause of the 'rona. I appreciate  any answer or if you have other suggestions, I would be very thankful!  Thanks and sorry for the long post. :)

Shoe recommendation: hiking boots vs trail runners

expert-review

Hoka One One EVO Speedgoat | Blister

OutdoorGearLab

The Altra Lone Peak ALL-WTHR Mid is an excellent choice for those with a wider foot and those who prefer the agility of a trail running shoe with the support of a hiking boot. This boot is among some of the lightest we tested without sacrificing stability, traction, or superior comfort. The ankle cuff is padded without adding bulk, and the lacing system latches twice over the ankle for maximum stability. Comfortable, yes; however, if you are new to Altras, you may want to allow for some time to adjust to the 0mm drop, which places the heel and forefoot at the same height. This feature encourages better alignment that will benefit your entire body, but you have to work up to longer distances over time. 
The TrailClaw feature allows for a sure-footed and very responsive shoe, meaning you can push hard in difficult terrain. Our testers were shocked by the waterproof technology, which kept our feet dry and warm during our submersion tests. That said, the eVent fabric is rather thin and prone to durability issues when snagged on sharp rocks or downed trees. This is also a more expensive option when compared to other trail runners/hiking boot hybrid options. To be fair, every design has a few caveats, especially with the kind of extensive testing we do. Overall, we love this lightweight design for the confidence it inspires on the trail.

 No more corns! I love the comfort of these shoes. The feel resembles a barefoot shoe. The waterproofness was good until they delaminated after only about 3 months of daily wear (see photos). I filed a claim with Altra and was told this was normal wear and tear

I bought these hoping they would help the seed corns on my pinky toes. I am happy to say they did just that and my feet feel great in them. No more corns! I love the comfort of these shoes. The feel resembles a barefoot shoe

Amazing in every way but durability

 With these shoes, i remember walking under a stick and the stick kind of got caught on the top of the shoe here and just one step. I ripped across this hole the whole top of the shoe, and then these shoes didn't last much longer other than the material here that tears on this flexion point. The rest of the shoe held up really well, as you can see, eight or nine hundred miles of hiking on this tread still in pretty good shape, and i still felt like i had pretty good grip, um on uneven and loose and rocky surfaces, something that i've Had happen on my other lone peaks is that this rubber piece here comes unglued and it becomes kind of comes peeled off um. It seems, like they've, basically fixed that problem at this point uh

 Some things work really well right away in the short term, but eventually, once you start using them and breaking them down, the water is going to get in there and there's not much. You can do about it and something that i found out with these shoes. Since i do have an extra liner on the inside, that's supposed to keep the water out that makes the shoes warmer, which could be good or bad if you're hiking in cold conditions that helps, but especially with through hiking you're kind of in variable conditions. All the time sometimes you're in cold conditions, sometimes you're in hot conditions

 They say that they're, more water resistant, they kind of design these shoes for running and hiking in cold weather and wet conditions. And when i got these shoes, we had just finished up the desert in new mexico and we were heading into the san juans in colorado. Where there's still a lot of snow and we knew that we were going to be hiking in the snow a lot. So i thought, since i needed new shoes at the time i might as well try these all weathers and hopefully maybe they would actually help keep

Altra Lone Peak All-WTHR Shoes [thru-hiker review, weather resistant trail runners]

 I've also had issues with the "all-weather" aspect of these. I had to go back and verify that I received the waterproof version after my feet got wet going through some very shallow creek crossings (water didn't even go over the toe of the boot). I do love the zero drop heel, wide toe box, and the light weight, but the lack of durability and waterproofing is too much. I'll be going back to Merrell for my next hiking boot

Disappointed in durability and performance

 Normally an 8.5 in Altra. The 8.5 was too small and had to reorder for a 9 which also felt too small in length

Have always loved the lone peak however the new design has changed. More cushion and easier to take on and off however the sizing has drastically changed. Normally an 8.5 in Altra

Runs small.

Old versions much better, Toe box is incredibly stiff. Please bring back gaiter trap attachment, it's ridiculous that it was removed

Prefer old versions

 Otherwise, I've pretty much pledged loyalty to Altra, as they are comfortable and fit my bilateral bunions in normal width shoes. I appreciate the zero-drop heel and the roomy toe box.

 I love the brand, just don't get the oversight on this model. I had a previous model of Lone Peaks from 2018 that had the attachment points, so not sure why that isn't standard on all new models. Otherwise, I've pretty much pledged loyalty to Altra, as they are comfortable and fit my bilateral bunions in normal width shoes. I appreciate the zero-drop heel and the roomy toe box

The most disappointing feature of this boot is that they didn't put gaiter hooks/velcro on this model. I don't understand why, and I can't even use Altra's short stretchy gaiters over this boot.

Great boot, but..

Great boots! Great fit! Being they are the all weather they may be a little warm hiking this summer, but I love how light weight they are. I had a hard time finding boots that fit, but these are great. Very comfortable. Recommend highly

Absolutely
