The Speedgoat Forge
Karl Meltzer He is a legend of world ultratrail. At 52 years old, no one has won more races of more than 100 miles in the history of trail running. The American ultrarunner who won the Hard Rock 100 five times, as well as being the former record holder for running the Appalachian Trail in 45 days, 22 hours, 38 minutes.
It is known as speedgoat and in its referential figure Hoka One One He started a series of shoes that are a world reference in Trail Running. The Hoka One Speedgoat 5 They are the latest evolution of this famous and acclaimed model.
Fly along the trails and track
“Go everywhere, run everything.” The philosophy of Karl Meltzer permeates everything in Speedgoat. We are talking about super versatile Trail Running shoes that get all their performance from distances of half marathon onwards.
Version 5 of the Speedgoat They represent the democratization of the model: the spectrum of users who can use them is broader because they have been adapted to more distance y rhythms that can be demanded.
Renewal 'downwards'
Quiet in Hoka One You don't play with quality. What has been reduced is the weight of the running shoes. The Speedgoat 5 is renewed, reducing the weight by 21 g compared to the Hoka Speedgoat 4 and winning 1 mm high from the ground.
How was this reduction achieved?
One of the main changes with respect to the previous version is the changes implemented in the upper. The technicians of Hoka One One have decided to go for a double layer of the compound polyester Jacquard Mesh which improves sensations of comfort and provides lightness to the whole. It is a compound Vegan that provides a secure fit to the foot. Its maximum performance is obtained in curves and technical descents where that lock prevents the foot from moving and transmits to us that horrible feeling of loss of stability.
CMEVA Compound
The midsole uses the classics of Hoka One, but improved. Don't touch what works, right? For this reason, we continue to bet on CMEVA compound in the midsole. Again, it is combined with the EVA foam to achieve that balance between cushioning and momentum when launching the stride.
The design changes have not affected the essence of the running shoe and the feeling of comfort after several dozen kilometers remains unchanged as it could not be otherwise.
A sole to match
All the Speedgoat5 they mount a sole Vibram Mega Grip with technology Traction Lugs. They have a renewed 5mm lug that provides better traction and excellent performance on any type of terrain. Furthermore, the Vibram Megragrip ensures that durability that has configured the speedgoat as a reference in the mountains.
