The Hoka Kaha Gore-Tex (also referred to as the Sky Kaha GTX) is the most luxuriously comfortable hiking boot that we have had the pleasure of testing. They don't resemble anything close to a classic top-rated hiking boot, but these unique boots are still super comfy while also bringing high-performance capability to the trail. The Gore-Tex version offers more advanced protection to keep your feet dry even in heavy rain or through shallow streams. However, the Gore-Tex version is heavier and more expensive. It’s up to you to decide according to your practice. The Speedgoat 4 felt a bit more sluggish and definitely more firm, where the Speedgoat 5 clearly had more bounce, though was still equally stable, predictable and protective in technical terrain. Compared with the EVO, I found them to be similarly responsive and light feeling, though the EVO felt a bit more mushy and less stable in technical The Pegasus Trail 4 GTX feels lightweight for being Gore-Tex waterproof—at 329 g / 11.6 oz in my US 12, it is the lightest Gore-Tex shoe that I have tested and I often forgot it was waterproof while on the run. As for fit, it is comfortable, soft, and accommodating. Thanks to the Gore-Tex technology, the Speedgoat 5 Mid GTX is waterproof and breathable. Your feet will stay dry and comfortable, no matter the weather conditions. Say goodbye to soggy socks and hello to an enjoyable trail running experience. Product Quality. The Speedgoat 5 Mid GTX is made with high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship. Considering the market, though, the Quest 4D is a good buy with a MSRP of $230. That's a little bit less than the going rate for most dedicated backpacking boots, even though it's arguably the best backpacking boot of all time.

I previously run in Salomon Speedcross 4's GTX (which were neat) and have recently bought the Speedcross 5 Wide (non GTX) and I now want to buy a trail shoe with Gore Tex. Are you able to compare the Speedcross 5 GTX with the Hoka Speedgoat 4 GTX? Thank you. Reply. Nandanti Martaskova December 14, 2020 at 6:24pm Most of the shoes we reviewed have a waterproof liner, except for the Keen Zionic Speed, Vasque Juxt, and Hoka Speedgoat 5. Many of the models that we tested come in both standard and "waterproof" options (a designation in the name like "GTX" for Gore-Tex or "Dry" usually gives it away). The Speedgoat 4 GTX is my first pair of HOKA trail running shoes. It is built to navigate steep, rocky and muddy trail terrains in all kinds of weather conditions. This is a trail-focused shoe in a GORE-TEX version for long distance and technically oriented runners. For less than two pounds per pair, you could try out the Salomon X Ultra 4 Gore-Tex, which offers nearly the same comfort as the Speedgoat but with way more support and stability as well as waterproofing. If weight isn't your main concern, but comfort is, then the Hoka Anacapa 2 Low GTX adds in Gore-Tex and a more supportive midsole. —
