Hoka Tecton X vs Speedgoat 5 | Which Shoe Is Right For You?

[@nickwit21]

I am new to all this run/hike shoe tech, and I am very grateful for your breakdown. I plan to do alot of biking but have a paved track nearby my home that I also want to spend some time on. After your explanation I think the Texton X will really give me a best of both worlds kind of experience. Thanks!

Now is a great time to pick up a pair. I’ve seen them on sale at many places. They work really well for trail running. Have a great day and stay safe.

Tecton X is amazing! During some uphill, the plates really give you bit extra.

I really enjoy them as well! Hey thanks for sharing your experience in them! Have a great day!

I like your review! And I think you love the "pop" or energy return and lightness of the Tecton X over the Speed Goat 5. Personally, I lean towards the SG5 as the terraine here in my location is more of the muddy side. By the way, good job on your growing channnel! I I followed your while you have less than 1000 subs, and now here we are at 14k. Keep it up, Tim! Run happy, run safely! 🙏❤️ Edit: You are one of my favorite running shoe vloggers aside from Seth DeMoor, Ethan Newberry (GingerRunner), Michael Ko, Jamison Michael (Jami's Review), and Emily Heller. 💪

Hi Tim, great review Just bought the Tecton X for $160 and I will ude it with thr SG5 in my holidays in St.Moritz in the Swiss Alps.

The "Swiss Alps" that sounds so awesome. I am more than a little jealous. Enjoy your new shoes and $160 is a great buy. Have a great day and stay safe.

[@AuRowe]

I'm in US. How did you get for $160?

[@JS-xn3dq]

Just picked the Tectonic x up on sale for $150! 👍🙏

Hi Tim. Your reviews are always great! Thanks for all the information you include. Which shoe would you say is roomier? Specifically in the midfoot area?

[@RunTall]

Hey Dave. The Speedgoat 5 feels more roomy or accommodating across the mid foot and in the toe box to me. Have a great day and thanks for the great question.
