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?

 extended scree or volcanic above treeline where a lower stack height for stability and rigidity is desired.

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

Hoka One One EVO Speedgoat | Blister

OutdoorGearLab

The Bedrock Cairn Adventure once again separates itself from the pack and earns our highest honor with its dependable, lightweight construction and excellent all-around performance. We were continually impressed with Cairn's performance across any conditions, and this model seems to perform well across all of our rating metrics. Its unique strap system is simple and easy to adjust yet provides plenty of security on uneven terrain. The footbed provides a nice balance of stability and comfort, yet it is lighter than many beefier models we tested. The star of the show, though, is the Vibram XS Trek outsole. This material is commonly on much heavier duty trail shoes and hiking boots. We were blown away by the traction from such a lightweight offering &mdash; it gave us confidence in our footing in various conditions.   
One of the potential drawbacks of this model is that the thong style strap system can take a little getting used to and can't be worn with regular socks. We also tested some cushier models that are more comfortable and more supportive. However, the all-around performance, versatility, and high quality make the Cairn a worthy recipient of our top award.

Switchback Travel

For many summer adventurers, the ideal pair of sports sandals is light, grippy, and looks the part for wearing both outside and around town. Bedrock Sandals’ Cairn Adventure checks all those boxes, combining a low weight (1 lb. per pair) with a flexible and low-profile design that’s easy to move in. You also get good all-around adjustability via a buckle at the front and Velcro at the rear, making it relatively easy to fine-tune the fit around different parts of the foot. But the real highlight is the premium Vibram outsole, which is reminiscent of a hiking shoe and grips extremely well on everything from packed dirt to slick rocks and blowdowns along the trail. All told, these sandals are top sellers year after year and a great all-around pick for everything from daily wear to light outdoor use. One editor even backpacked in the sandals for multiple days after getting blisters from her hiking boots and came away impressed by their all-day comfort and sturdiness.

That said, not everyone will love the Bedrock Cairn’s thin, zero-drop design. The same editor who backpacked in the Cairn typically prefers a lot of padding but found that the sandals offered enough structure for her average-shaped feet, while another reviewer with wider feet experienced considerable soreness and achiness after an 8-mile exploration around Mexico City. Bedrock does offer the Cairn 3D and 3D Pro II models with beefier cushioning underfoot, but those with finicky feet or arch problems will likely want to upgrade to a more supportive option like Chaco’s Z/Cloud or Teva’s Hurricane XLT2 or Strata Universal below. Another potential downside is the Y-shaped strap at the front, which can cause irritation between the toes (this does get better over time) and uncomfortable rubbing where the foot meets the ankle. But if you like the more natural feel and can get a good fit with no pressure points, the Cairn offers a hard-to-beat combination of weight, flexibility, and grip, earning it our top spot for this year.See the Men's Bedrock Cairn Adventure  See the Women's Bedrock Cairn Adventure

 I mentioned that in the beginning that you know my teva sandals my feet, sweat a lot in them. Well, these ones seem to be like, like they suck away moisture, and so i am finding myself having to lotion my feet a whole lot more, i'm i think it's the material rather than just that my feet are so like exposed to all the dirt and the Dryness, that is the desert, but i think it's actually the material, because i've worn sandals, i mean i've lived in the desert for a long time and i've. You know you just wear sandals it's too hot, and this is the first time i've ever experienced my feet. Like getting so cracked and dried, so just something to consider, but overall i'm really happy with them, i'm wearing them right now

 Well, it feels like a long time now. I have noticed that the material, the shoe bed, the footbed, feels a little more drying.

Review: Bedrock Cairn Adventure Sandal

 These are very secure and offer great traction/foot protection while in the water (zebra muscles) and on land (rocks, gravel, etc.). 

I did have to go to their main website to purchase a size 14 (hop on it REI) and found a printable sizing sheet which gave me the peace of mind knowing that they'd fit my slightly wider foot. I'd highly recommend printing out their sizing chart before purchase! 

Absolute beast of a sandal

 Haven’t used them in water yet, but they seem to dry fast and the sole looks very sticky and durable. I don’t feel like they will be as good support wise as Chacos, but the fit is so good, they should be ok. I tried the pro model, but liked the flat footbed on these better. Plus they are lighter for travel

Love, love, love these

2) Ergonomics: Without a toe box or lateral straps, your foot falls on its natural (wide) footprint. Every other adventure sandal in the game constrains your foot on both sides. Even chacos, my previous favorite, would bind your foot and not allow your foot to take up its natural space. With bedrocks, my toes spread out, I balance better, and I move quicker

Chaco convert now uses Bedrocks everyday

.can you please make an alternate design sandal with a wide-toe box shape?  I would definitely buy another pair like this, but unfortunately I can use the current design for hiking and would not recommend them for people with wide toes.

  The vibram sole is minimal but still feels rugged and durable.  However, the shape of the sole/footbed has a major flaw in the design.  It has a drastic curve inward which means my pinky toe hangs off the side and I cannot fully splay my toes for optimal balance.  I even got one size up to try and mitigate this but it's still a problem

  Bedrock...can you please make an alternate design sandal with a wide-toe box shape?  I would definitely buy another pair like this, but unfortunately I can use the current design for hiking and would not recommend them for people with wide toes

Awesome product, one major flaw

Well-made *IN USA* and minimal sole with NO heel are prime reasons I bought these, instead of other brands. 

Made in U.S.A. and Minimal sole FTW!

Bedrock Cairns are a perfect minimalist shoe for folks with normal sized feet -- they are lightweight, hold the foot firmly when scrambling around on rocks, they are lightweight, have a good grip across wet and dry surfaces, and they are lightweight. Far lighter than Teva/Chacos, which was a main attraction for me for backpacking.

Good minimialist shoe for normal feet
