SPEEDGOAT 4 vs SPEEDGOAT 3 | HOKA ONE ONE SPEEDGOAT 4 Review | Run4Adventure

[@richardb7726]

Thanks for the review. Bought my 4’s off the back of it. Here’s my input, for what it’s worth: Size up, forget about the new width settings, I’m a U.K. 10 and definitely needed an 11 Watch the tongue. Especially if you wear tiny ‘trainer socks’ you might be uncomfortable with the end of the tongue digging into your ankle crease. Just make sure they are laying right when you lace the up Despite being very comfortable, they are a little hard under the balls of your feet, especially on road sections,so you might want to consider inner soles. The vibram soles make a lot of road noise, sounds like you slapping the ground. People will hear you coming! But don’t let these observations put you off. Having once suffered months of problems caused by Achilles’ tendon problems due to stiffer shoes and drops (mudclaws), these shoes are bloody fantastic. You perhaps wouldn’t want to run a road marathon in them, unless you wanted to think the crowds were clapping every step. But I live in the Dales and it’s perfect for this terrain. Mud, grass, farm tracks, stones etc. Recommended

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks for the feedback Richard it's really appreciated 👍 I did mention they size up small in the review so it's good to go up in size 😊 I never heard anyone say that a Speedgoat is a bit hard underfoot but running shoes are personal and we all feel them differently 😳 When it comes to the Vibram outsole you're right it does make a bit of noise on the road but to be fair it is a trail running shoe and the rubber is designed to be super grippy on the trails which it definitely is! 👍 I'm glad you're getting on with the shoe though, its a pretty good allrounder that's for sure. Thanks for watching the channel and happy, injury free running 🏃😊

[@richardb7726]

Heather A I’m probably running 50/50 road to off road at the moment and for muddy stones, farm track and wet fields they are great. Very comfortable. Highly recommended

[@Run4Adventure]

No worries Richard 👍 I did say to size up in the review! The Speedgoat has always sized up small 👍 You're right about the Vibram mega grip, it can be a bit noisy on some surfaces! To be fair It is a trail shoe with a super grippy outsole and that's why it makes a bit of noise 😊 A part from the little issues I'm glad you're enjoying the shoe and it's helped with a few niggles 👍 Thanks for watching the channel 🙏

[@Run4Adventure]

Awesome hope you enjoy the Evo's! 👍

[@t5kcannon1]

Excellent review. Thanks. The SG3 was simply too narrow for me, but this version might just do it. I believe that there is an extra wide SG4 out at the end of December.

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks James and thanks for watching the channel 👍🏻 The SG4 is definitely a bit wider but if you feel you need a lot of width then yes a width fit is going to be available come December 👍🏻😀 Thanks again and don’t forget to subscribe to the channel 😉

I have the Speedgoat 3 despite problems with the Speedgoat 2, back in November I bought a new pair of Speedgoat 3 because I was so impressed with them and judging by the 2s thought I didn’t have long until I killed them but bloody hell 6 months later they are only now showing signs of deterioration after 1000miles they split on the instep so I gorilla glued them and they are still going and the New Speedgoat 3s I bought are still in the box 😲 maybe I should think about breaking them in - don’t want the 4 now, but can’t get anymore 3s to stock up on 😩 great review man

[@Run4Adventure]

Hi AL Thanks for watching the review and I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍 You are so lucky having a fresh pair of SG3's in the box! It's the best version of the shoe to date and I'm still running mine and they've done around 800 miles 😮 The SG4's are still a giid shoe but the 3's just fitted me better. Hope you're managing to stay safe and well in these crazy times and thanks for the sub 🙏

[@gingeral]

Run 4 Adventure Cameron from Trail Running Wales told me the same that he prefers the SG3s as well, glad I didn’t upgrade to the 4s now 😁👍 some great places here in Wales to stay solitary and run alone making the lockdown a little more manageable - stay safe

[@renatburkhanov4471]

Thank you for the detailed review, Loyd! The concept of running for adventure fits pretty much to my own concept of running, thanks for the content! I have a narrow foot as well and I found your comment about Speedgoat 3 being slightly narrower quite useful for me. I'm a fan of Hoka (and well-cushioned shoes in general), but it is not really easy to find a Speadgoat 3 at the end of 2020 here in Russia. Can you advise any other models fitting good a narrow foot? Thanks in advance

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks Renat 👍 Really glad you enjoyed the review and found it helpful! 😊 Yeap I'm sure it's pretty hard to find any Speedgoat 3's now the 4's have been out for a while. The Speedgoat 4 still isn't a wide shoe so it would be worth trying on if you can. As would the Torrent 2 and the Challenger ATR, neither are wide it just depends how narrow your foot is? Salomon tend to work well with a narrower foot shape obviously their shoes won't be as soft as a Hoka! Maybe take a look at the Sense Ride 3 or the Wildcross if you want more depth of grip on the outsole. I'd also check out the Saucony Peregrine 10, I'm a big fan of this shoe, it's very different from a Hoka but it's a great trail shoe. Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏

Great review. I have a narrow foot also, but I feel and love the added stability of the SG4. Before on the more technical stuff I had to use the Sense Ride 3. Now I do everything with the SG4. I also use the GTX version for snow running during the winter (since I live in Switzerland).

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks Pedro, really glad you enjoyed it 👍 Once you're use to the wider platform and the depth of cushioning the SG is fine on technical stuff. I just found the SG3's felt a bit more stable underfoot? 🤔 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's really appreciated 🙏

Great in-depth review. Do you recommend this for a Mountain trail Marathons?

That's great Dhrubajyoti, really gkad you enjoyed the review 😊 Yes it would definitely make a good mountain trail shoe for Marathons. I've used a pair at UTMB a few times and they have always performed well 👍 Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel it's really appreciated 🙏

Hi there No worries and thanks for watching the channel 👍 You're right the SG4's are a good shoe but the SG3's are slightly better, it's a great trail shoe! I can't believe you can't pick them up cheaper now 😳 Hope you enjoy your shoes 👌

[@cdh79]

Great review! I just bought the Speedgoat 4 about a week ago. Until now i wasn't able to really test them yet, as i don't have many trails here (i bought them for a vacation to Madeira in a few weeks, but i will of course run them in first). When fitting them in the store, i also needed to get them one size bigger than for instance the Hoka Rincons that i use (and love) for road running. I love the orange color model, however eventually went for the grey model..

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks very much and thanks for watching the channel! 👍🏻 I’m sure you’ll enjoy running in them it’s a really good shoe. I use the Rincon on the road to, it’s a great shoe! 😀 Have a great vacation, happy running and don’t forget to subscribe to our channel to keep up to date with future content 👍🏻

[@carolinedewhurst5603]

hey than k you so much :) So i just bought a speedgoat 3 as they were on sale nd they feel great but i see that some people have realised they were too narrow after they ran in them... How do you know if your feet are too wide? cheers!

[@Run4Adventure]

Hi Caroline Thanks for watching the channel 👍🏻 The Speedgoat 3 is quite narrow on fit. If the shoe feels good on then I’m sure you’re ok with the fit. Would you say you’ve got a wide foot? If it was to narrow for you you’d know when you put it on, it would feel uncomfortable and constricting 👍🏻 Hope this helps and don’t forget to subscribe to our channel to keep up to date with future content 🎥😀

[@christooss]

Damn, I'm kinda scared that I will not like it because of lower collar. I had problems with shoes that have lower heel collars. I was happy to hear they made shoe tiny bit wider than SG3 but still. I think I will wait for Salomon Sense ride 3 cause they apparently buffed it up so it might be more towards the shoe I want. Till then SG3 will do but I was so hyped up for 4. BTW widnes of midfoot apparently comes from thinner tounge.

[@Run4Adventure]

I personally felt the SG4 didn’t hold me in the heel as well as the SG3 😀 It’s feeling a bit better now because I’m a bit more use to the fit 😀 I’ve tried the new Sense Ride 3 on and they have beefed it up a bit but I’d say its still quite a bit firmer than the Speedgoat 😀 Thanks for watching the channel and don’t forget to subscribe 👍🏻😉

[@Run4Adventure]

The tounge is thinner but the shoe is definitely deeper at the mid foot, it’s not just because of the thinner tounge 😀

[@xfiringsquadx]

The EVO speedgoat is where it's at.

[@jamstaa69]

Hello, great review again. I've been eyeing up the Speedgoat for a while wondering whether to go for it or not, as I'm not sure i'd like the massive caushioning or not... but then if my age and legs allow me to follow my plan to do longer trail events perhaps i'd start to like a bit of caushioning.. that said.. what do you feel about the difference between the normal shoe and the gortex version, is the attempt of "waterproofing" worth the extra £10 or so.. I've always normally just allowed my feet to get wet, and they usually dry out quite quickly.. but does the gortex version really stop your feet from getting wet? and when they; im sure ineevitbly do get wet, does it stop them drying out? Cheers.

[@Run4Adventure]

When it comes to cushioning it's so personal! I've run 1000's of miles in the Speedgoats and for long stuff, 50 miles or above I find it a very comfortable shoe 😊 It definitely takes some time to get use to them and all the cushioning and I'd recommend starting on flat trail before you run any technical trails just incase 👍 As far as Gortex trail shoes, I personally wouldn't bother. A shoe can't be waterproof because it's got a big hole in the top where your foot goes in! 😂 Like you said once water is in the shoe it can't get out so I'd go for the none Gortex version. Hope this helps and thanks for the comment 🙏

[@TrailRunningWales]

I was planning on going to the GingerRunners channel to watch his SG4 review, but decided to watch yours instead. Tbf it's an awesome review. I've got a pair of EVO speedgoats for Christmas, so I'm going to wait and see how they feel before picking up the 4's, a 2nd pair of EVOs or a cheap version of an SG3

[@Run4Adventure]

That’s great! 😀 Thanks for watching it means a lot 👍🏻 Have you run in the Evo’s yet? If you have how are they feeling? 😀

[@TrailRunningWales]

@@Run4Adventure nope 😢 the closest I've got is just wearing them around the house... but they felt great. I'll find out on christmas morning I guess. It's tricky to know what to do, the EVOs are mega expensive, the SG4s sound like they aren't quite as good as the 3s (but I guess that's different for everyone, and the 3s are now starting to go on sale... do I just pi know a pair of them

[@bikeinmotion]

@@Run4Adventure Haha wearing them around the house is what I did with the SG-Evo too. I have them locked up for christmas too ;) From what I've tried the midfoot was good to me. Similar to the Evo Mafate 1 I was wearing this season.

[@Run4Adventure]

Oh ok 😀 Have you got to act all excited when you open them 😂 The SG4 is still a pretty good shoe but I might do the same and buy up a few pairs of SG3’s when they go down in price 👍🏻

[@bikeinmotion]

@@Run4Adventure Of course, I have two little kids ;)

[@trainertrails5824]

I’ve just hit 200 miles in mine and after thinking they were too solid initially, they broke in to be my fave Speedgoat so far. The cushioning has way more longevity than previous versions. Any plans for a 200 mile review?

[@Run4Adventure]

Hi there Glad your enjoy your SG4's 😊 I totally agree the SG4's do get better once you've broken them in a bit. I still personally prefer the SG3's because the fit was better for my foot shape. Yep there will be a 200 mile review coming soon 😊 Thanks for watching the channel, hope you're enjoying the Content 🙏

[@tema315]

Great review as always Loyd 👍🏼. I’ve done nearly 500km in my SG3s and probably going to pick up the EVO instead of the SG4, just based on reviews of fit. Love the bright Orange colour though 😁

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks Tema 👍🏻 I’m probably going to buy another pair of SG 3’s as it’s worked really well for me 😀 The SG 4’s are still feeling pretty good but the fit for me isn’t as good 🙁 Thanks for supporting the channel 🌵👍🏻

[@xTomWolfx]

Loved my Speedgoat 2s, so I bought a pair of Speedgoat 4s... and they were terrible. Painfully uncomfortable. I had to check to make sure my feet weren't sunburnt or something, because the tops of my feet became uncomfortable, and I didn't want to believe it was the Speedgoats. Went online, and checked to see what had changed, and of course found out that a lot of the top comfort was replaced... so I sent them back the same day. Found a pair of Speedgoat 3s. Most people had the same issues with the comfort of the 4s, and recommended I find a 3, which is what they stuck with. Hopefully they'll learn from the mistake of the 4 and go back to the comfort of the 2 and 3. Love the company, just didn't like the changes that came with the 4.

[@Run4Adventure]

I feel the same about the Speedgoats Tom. I was a big fan of the SG3's and ran 1000's of miles in them but I never really got on with the SG4's 😔 I've got my fingers crossed for the next update 🤞 Thanks for watching the channel and taking the time to comment it's really appreciated 🙏

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks Jeffery, glad you enjoyed it 😀 Yep the SG3 could be a bit sketchy on mud especially off camber!!!

I am currently running in Challenger ATR 5s. I am looking to invest in a more grippy pair of shoes, but also want good support for my left ankle that was broken a few years ago in an accident at work. I ran on Dartmoor. Between the Torrents and the Speedgoat, which would you and your followers recommend?

[@Run4Adventure]

Hi Grant I've just filmed the review for the new Torrent 2's and it's a really good shoe, definitely worth a look👌 Also I'd take a look at the Peregrine 10 from Saucony. It's a great allrounder and it would run really well on Dartmoor. You would have a lot more ground feel than the Speedgoats and that would give you a lot more stability 😊 The Peregrine would also give you way more grip than the ATR! It's not the best trail shoe when it comes to grip 😊 Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏

[@grantwallace1882]

I have gone for the current Hoka Torrent in the black and green colourway, similar to my ATR 5. Since breaking my ankle I have started running a lot more to build up the strength again. I have really been bitten by the running bug. Currently 30% into my 500 miles in a year running challenge - mostly off road. I thoroughly enjoy the channel and look forward to seeing what I have missed out in passing on the Torrent 2. Not sure about the marbled out sole look. All the best from sunny Princetown.

[@Run4Adventure]

[@PochoRepublic]

Can you run in the street with these? Because I rather get sg4 if they preform good in the streets as well as in the trails so I can have a versitile shoe . However if the sg4 does not preform good on the street should I just get the ricon?

[@Run4Adventure]

Hi Joseph The SG4'S will run on the road and be very comfortable. The only thing is you'll wear the grip down quicker. So it depends on how much road you run? If it more road I'd go for the Rincons 👍 Thanks for watching the channel 🙏

How does the EVO speedgoat fit in this comparsion? I like 'em light so the EVO is still my #1 :)

Yeap it sounds like a width issue to me Dan 👍 I've seen a few people having the same problem and it's when they're slightly to wide for the shoe and rather than sitting down in the midsole they are sitting on top of the edge and it causes irritation! 😔 The SG4's are wider than the 3's but they also do the 4's in a width fit 👍 Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏

You really don’t feel any rocks through the midsole of the Speedgoat 4! Obviously you do loose a bit of ground feel. Just to let you know the new Peregrine 10 has a rock plate now and we’ll be reviewing the shoe in a few days 😀

I never tried the 3s but I have a medium wide forefoot so these are perfect. I use them for dirt roads and narrow granite trails in the nearby mountains. I tried on a few other pairs of Hokas. Some were too narrow and I wanted something durable for the rough rocks out here. Also am a huge fan of vibram soles on boots so thought this would be good and it is.

Awesome Joel! 👍 The SG's are great shoes that's for sure. I'm glad you've found a pair of trail shoes that work for you 😊 Yep the Vibram out sole is brilliant I'm a big fan 👍 Thanks for watching the channel and thanks for the sub 🙏

Weird that you notice the difference in the width but Ginger Runner didn’t. Maybe he has a wider foot than you? However, you both seem to prefer the 3. Top review, thanks.

Glad you enjoyed it Ian and thanks for watching 👍🏻 I definitely don’t have a wide foot, especially at the mid foot. I haven’t seen Ginger Runners feet but he does always go on about having wide feet! 😂

[@ErnieOne]

Sorry , dude. I like Ginger Runner too and watch his videos, but I have to mention that his reviews are not accurate at all. I bought some shoes because I was based on his description and ...dude... I am already convinced that Ginger’s reviews, even though they are funny, they are far away from the reality. But when Run4Adventure speaks , I know that this is a real reviewer and obviously a great runner.

@@ErnieOne I agree. On Tuesday I brought some La Sportiva Lycans based on Ginger runner saying they fit true to size. I am a UK 9 and and I would say my feet are not really wide. The Lycans came yesterday and once I had shoe horned my foot into them I discovered if I tried to go anywhere in them it would cripple me. Needless to say they went back today and I have ordered the SG4, will arrive tomorrow. I hope I have sized them right. My Clifton 6 road shoes are a 9, so based on this review I have gone for a 9.5 in the SG4

@@Run4Adventure Hi, just a query, I am a size 9 UK, my clifton 6 road shoes are a 9 and feel excellent but I have just ordered the SG4 in a 9.5, in your opinion have I ordered the size correctly? Great review by the way.

[@Run4Adventure]

@@My20vt That should be fine Scott I find the Speedgoats size up a little smaller. I'm normally a uk9.5 in most shoes but I've always run the Speedgoats in a 10uk 👍 Really glad you enjoyed the review and thanks for watching 🙏

Why are you pronouncing it "Hocker"??? It's Ho-ka, you know, exactly like it's spelt. It's so annoying.

[@Run4Adventure]

Well done Des for your great comment! Hope you have a happy day 👍🏻

[@Run4Adventure]

I’ll make sure I say it right next time I review a “HOKA” shoe just for you 😀

[@desf9212]

@@Run4Adventure That'd be awesome, thanks.
