HOKA ONE ONE Speedgoat 5 - Blue Coral Evening Primrose - UK 9

The base model of the Speedgoat 5 is not inherently waterproof, but specific versions may feature Gore-Tex for waterproofing. Check the product details for the specific version you are purchasing.

The Vibram® Megagrip outsole provides exceptional traction on both wet and dry surfaces, making it ideal for challenging and unpredictable trail conditions.

The Speedgoat 5 features HOKA's signature maximal cushioning with a CMEVA foam midsole, offering a plush and protective feel designed for long-distance comfort on trails.

While comfortable for walking, their aggressive tread is optimized for trails. For extensive everyday walking on hard surfaces, consider the potential for faster outsole wear.

Most users find the Speedgoat 5 comfortable right out of the box due to its cushioning. However, a few short hikes or runs will help the upper conform perfectly to your foot.

The Speedgoat 5 generally offers a standard fit. While the upper has some flexibility, individuals with very wide feet might find them snug. Check for available wide-fit options if necessary.

This refers to the specific colorway of the shoe. 'Blue Coral' is the primary blue shade, and 'Evening Primrose' is the secondary accent color, often orange or yellow.

Adjust the lacing system to distribute pressure more evenly. Ensure you are wearing the correct sock type and thickness. If discomfort persists, the size may not be suitable.

Ensure the outsole is clean. The Vibram® Megagrip is designed for wet conditions, but extreme mud or algae can reduce grip. Allow the shoes to dry if they have been submerged.

These shoes are optimized for trail use. Frequent use on hard surfaces like pavement can lead to faster wear of the aggressive tread pattern. Consider a dedicated road running shoe for such activities.

The mesh upper is designed for durability and support. It will naturally become more comfortable and conform to your foot shape with regular use (break-in period).
