Speedgoat 5 GTX Spike

In no particular order - SpeedGoat GTX Spike - Screwshoes - Kahtoola spikes Spikes work better than screws. But screws are the cheapest solution. I get bruises from the exospikes. But that seems to be the exception. Something about their fit and pressure from the straps on my toes.

I love my SpeedGoat 6s. My favorite trail running shoe. Edit: To add some detail, I prefer the six over the five. Regarding other shoes I like the torrent three and Clifton nine as well. The speed goats sit at 300 miles and are going strong. Hope that helps.

Icebugs are high quality and durable. Also had Hoka Speedgoat Spike and was happy, particularly with how the foot is protected from the spike pressure.

My feet hurts when I run in icebug or hooka speedgoat 5 spikes so if it’s icy I just put on some kaahtoola nano spikes on some of my other shoes 

North of Sweden here, so winters = thick layer of ice and snow on pretty much all roads, paths and trails. I use Speedgoat GTX spike, the ones with metal spikes. Works a charm, and I never have to worry about slipping. I reckon pretty much all makes has at least one winter shoe on offer, so you can use whatever you're used to but with winter outsoles.

I wear Hoka Speedgoat Spikes (the 5, GTX) and they’re a game changer for me! Love being able to run in such a wide range of conditions, whether it’s icy city streets or light mountain running.

It's a tough one, where I live you pretty much need to have both. I often use my speedgoats 5 gtx for short and quick hikes in the forest, without goretex they will be completely soaked. In summer time/dry times I use my speedgoats 5 without goretex. If you are only running with them, don't mind getting wet and they dry for the next time you use them, there is no real reason for goretex.

I hope this isn’t a completely pointless post as the specific model - HOKA Speedgoat 5 - isn’t available and I can’t vouch for the 6 but hopefully it’s similar. North of 200lbs, this shoe was a revelation to me, I didn’t realise at the time that trail shoes could be as cushioned. I never had any issues with stability either. I’m not looking forward to replacing them.
