Hoka Speedgoat 5 GTX (RTR Review) I tested the studded version, but the normal GTX version would be the same, but without studs. I would pick the Speedgoat 5 GTX any day over the Challenger 7 GTX for its improved, more versatile traction that can handle wet, snow, some ice, mud, etc… way better.Best Road-to-Trail Shoe: Nike Pegasus Trail 4 Gore-Tex.
