Comments: Only complaint is the shoe tongue it's short and not cushioned unfortunately gonna have to send it back but the ride is great other than that just not for me I'll stay with my sg3. From: Anonymous. April 2nd 2022
Comments: For ultra trail racing, the EVO Speedgoat was definitely better but for training, the updated SG5 is awesome. It's wider with worse midfoot lockdown compared to the EVO SG. The forefoot width is great but getting the shoe snug isn't easy because the tongue is thin and not quite long enough. Good update to SG 4 if you felt the old version was too narrow. Definitely not as good as EVO SG from 2019 though.. From: Jeff. Uniontown, OH April 27th 2022
Comments: A couple of 100k races and 300 total trail miles later I think this model provides all of the improvements that I was looking for from the prior models. Wider toe box noticeable with the baby toe not rubbing, lighter shoe instantly noticed, more feel and control, and less of a waterbed feeling ride. I pair the shoes with injinji ultra socks and have absolutely no issues - no rub, no blisters so far. I run mostly Southern California trails wide variety of trail conditions and I highly recommend it. From: Dustin. SoCal May 26th 2022
