HOKA Speedgoat 5 M

Grippy. Cushioned. Trailblazer.

• Cushion: Balanced
  • Explanation: All of Hoka's shoes contain cushion in the midsole, which is designed to lessen impact and provide support. How much cushion, and how firm or soft that cushion is, varies between models. 
    • The Speedgoat 5 is designed to provide protective cushion while maintaining a responsive toe-off for when you want to go faster.
