Hoka Evo Speedgoat vs Saucony Peregrine 11

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

but with a lower stack height, super responsive, midsole, and a ton of extra protection, does the Sucking Peregrine 11 stand out amongst the competiti...

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.

Kind of right in, right in this area right here. So I bought these ones. These are the Saucony Peregrine 11 wide. Because I had a race coming up, I di...

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

Overall, I feel great in and about these shoes. I have enjoyed the high-cushion zero-drop experience and will likely get another pair to keep in my rotation.

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

Just did a trail half marathon and they didn't hold me back. Great grip, you won't slip on wet grass or turf.

, (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’ve been running the Wasatch in the Saucony Peregrine 10 ST this summer as a much cheaper and readily available alternative to the Speedcross 5. Surprisingly good durability for a soft terrain shoe on such scrappy trails.
