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

Wirecutter

Versatile and comfy, this go-to-worthy shoe hits the right notes for most runners’ everyday training needs.

OutdoorGearLab

The Brooks Ghost 14 - Women's is the latest expression of one of our longtime favorites. Runners who love a moderately supportive and stable shoe should look no further because this one is top-shelf. The heel-to-toe transition is super smooth, and the amount of energy you put into this shoe is met with an equal response, making it a perfect race day propeller. We put our feet through a lot of miles for this review, but with the DNA BioMoGo midsole to absorb the impact, we were able to spare our joints some wear and tear. The Ghost is a classic 12-millimeter drop shoe that is responsive and suitable for most running needs. The engineers at Brooks seem to understand that runners' feet swell as they warm up, and, as such, they continuously design toe boxes that accommodate expanding feet without feeling like clown shoes. This iteration's collar and tongue are generously cushioned, which keeps them snug and comfortable on long-distance days. Our testers adore the seamless feel and the sole-to-ground contact of this neutral runner; both features aid in the responsive comfort of this tried-and-true model. 
The Ghost 14 earns our top overall spot because it balances a smooth, responsive ride with plush joint protection and durability. We recommend this shoe to both new runners and seasoned marathoners. The only metric in which the Ghost doesn't shine is weight, as each shoe weighs in at 7.8 ounces for a women's size 7. However, Brooks shaved a few ounces off of this shoe with the creation of this model, which ultimately allowed us to score it higher than previous models. If a stable, long-distance running sidekick is what your heart desires, look no further than this iteration of the Ghost, you won't be disappointed.

Nice. I have this cooler in my Ghost, big props to Noctua for bringing it out. Glad to see it is usable in different cases.

Sliding into place

 I think i first ran out straight out of the box. Looking for 10 kind of steady miles running 10 miles in around an hour and some strides and by the end of the run, i could kind of feel that they were a little bit kind of ponderous heavy on the legs and compared to some other options. Um, you know, there's not a huge amount of kind of bounce or rebound here or a very snappy transition. It'S all kind of solid cruisery i'd say it's how i describe it like

 It really does make a difference, and it means that the more subscribers you get the more videos we can make and we love making these videos don't forget to check the channel out for all the other reviews. We'Ve got from the latest trail and road shoes, as well as all the latest headphones and running tech, like new watches out there that you can get at the moment. Thanks a lot see you soon: [ Music, ], [ Applause, ], 

 It'S still got that sort of conventional feel. It feels like a very stable, comfortable shoe when you're running around in it um, but then again it doesn't feel like it does anything other than that. I think for me the um, i'm, a big fan of the glittering 19 shoe um and that shoe is a lot, has a bit more softness to it. It feels a little bit more cushioned when you're running it's a lot more for me, a lot more enjoyable to run in it just feels like a really nice easy run, shoe um that you can go a little bit faster in the brooks ghost 14

 Overall, this is a pretty solid shoe uh, it's a nice, robust kind of um, fairly comfortable, not entirely slow shoe that can do you know a decent job of a few different things, but there are certainly better options out there and i'd expect slightly more from the Ghost line in the future, hopefully with that new phone, so my verdict on the ghost 14 is that it's an old classic reliable shoe. I think if you've tried a ghost shoe before you're, not going to be particularly surprised by the shoe you're going to be happy that it's still got the same sort of feel and the same sort of benefits that you're probably used to getting from that shoe, which A reliability and a nice level of upper comfort, um and, to be honest, you won't be disappointed in it, but i think um there's a lot of good shoes out there at the moment. A lot of shoes that have a lot more performance features in them. A lot of sort of technically advanced students when it comes to the midsole foams that you can get, and i just don't think this really competes with those

Brooks Ghost 14 Review | A Conventional Daily Shoe That Sticks To What It Does Best

 More rebound if that's what you might be in the market for. It's a good alternative to reduce some weight as compared to the Nimbus or Cumulus.

Hi, I have been running mostly with ASICS Gel-Cumulus, occasionally in Gel-Nimbus in past years. Very satisfied because of the cushioning, wide front of the shoe, durability, drop, even price. Generally I need cushioning and higher drop due to my Achilles problems and I have wider front part of the foot so need space. Looking for neutral shoes (I have even slight underpronation) and mid-foot striking. I am still pretty much recreational runner with 100-150 km/monthly in 5:45-6:45 min/km pace.

I am thinking what other options I might have:

1) ASICS Novablast - I have no experience with them but they look cool, what is the main difference to Cumulus/Nimbus?

2) New Balance - any interesting alternatives?

3) Brooks Ghost - I have quite good experience with Cascadia for trail running, would Ghost be an interesting alternative to ASICS?

I know that if one is satisfied long-term with a certain brand/type, there is no big reason to change, still, I want to evaluate other shoes as well.

Thanks!

ASICS Gel-Cumulus runner here - alternatives?

 Also is it safe to slowly transition from my Kayano 28s to the Ghost 14 assuming my feet get stronger from running in less stable shoes? I don't want to get shin splits etc. Thank you!

 Ghost 14's do have some stability, but after a quick run in them I do notice some pain in the left side of my right ankle. Would this be because of using a shoe with less stability and my overpronation? I'm worried that if I do a normal run around 4-5km I'll get home really sore. Also is it safe to slowly transition from my Kayano 28s to the Ghost 14 assuming my feet get stronger from running in less stable shoes? I don't want to get shin splits etc. Thank you!
