Speedgoat 5

So I loved the Speedgoat 5 (wide), the 6 is ok but just isn’t the same. Kind of makes me sad. Challenger is different but I think I like it more than the 6. I know this is probably the wrong sub but does anyone have a road shoe that gives me those SG5 feels with a tread I won’t wear off in a month on the pavement?

I daily wear trail runners. Hoka speedgoat 5s felt like they wore out really quick (but super comfy and I'd do it again if they still made them). Wearing challengers now and I feel like they're doing just fine though. Probably a different compound or something. I'd imagine the answer is just "it depends"

- Bmai Pace6 Trex-Cordura: 35km - LiNing Di Lu 2: 25km , replacing my SG5 for ultra distance - Salomon ultraglide3: 225km - saucony endorphin rift: 25km, a lil too snug n rigid toebox for long distance, so it will be for short distances only for now - asics novablast 3TR: 750km, mainly on non technical cruising use my SG5 n Saucony XU2 just got relegated: - hoka speedgoat5: 475km,the lugs worn out severely, i still kept it around undecided if it worth resole - saucony xodusultra2: 950km, upper medial side already start tearing, lugs worn out

where are you from? are you into shopping china shoe? i have SG5, and currently im running in Li-Ning Di Lu2 (arnv009), and its as close to SG5, or even better midsole feel. only thing, its kinda 0.5cm short on its sizing

if you are in asics n like asics fit, maybe Fuji n Trabuco also something you should look into. for my light gravel, i have Novablast3 TR, n sometimes also got away with Adizero SL2. but my long distance trail shoes are Torrent2, Speedgoat5, XodusUltra2 n just newly acquired EndorphinRift. among my lineup, SG5 probably overkill for something under 30km. for Salomon, most reviewer would highlight about its narrowness. take note

i used xu2 for my utmb chiangmai 100k n verbier 100k, theyre plenty cushioned. prior to these 2 races, i used sg5 for transjeju 100k n chiangmai 50k, also comfy. the reason i went for xu2 for my recent races coz theyre less 'bulky' than sg5. so far for my races with dropbag access, i havent swap shoes despite having 2nd shoe in bag, but i do swap socks n insoles(when theyre damp)

I'd buy several pairs of the 3 if they'd rerelease it.

Had the same issue with the SG5 and switched to Normal Tomir 2.0 and am very happy with them.

I'm heavier and the SG5s are my go-tos. Also been liking the Topo MTN racer 3 of late

You probably want to go to a store and try a few, or order a few and return the ones that don't work. Lots of speedgoat mentions so I'll add the Salomon Genesis - I loved the speedgoat 5, but the 6 doesn't work for me so I switched to the Genesis instead. Loving it so far. I know this is controversial but I also love the quicklace system, feels so much more secure and consistent than standard laces.

I loved them through 5 and 6 blisters me. I’m hoping 7 will revert back closer to 4 or so.

I loved the 5s and despise the 6s. I am now liking Saucony Xodus Ultra quite a bit, but I have version 1s and 2s. I have read their 3s and 4s are not as well liked. 🫤

I would look for a wide width option before sizing up even further. If you like the Speedgoat, it is available in a wide width.
