Cushioning Level
Cushioning level, or stack height, refers to how much shoe is between your foot and the ground. For this category, we reference the amount of cushioning below the forefoot as the heel height will be equal to or greater than the forefoot height.
Learn more about stack heights and how we measure them.-
Barefoot
0-13mm. The Shoe generally does not have a midsole and feels like there is no cushioning. This shoe is all about feeling the ground underfoot.
-
Minimal
14-18mm. The shoe has a thin midsole that allows for a natural running experience. Racing shoes and minimalist shoes are common here. These shoes offer a feeling of being connected to the road or trail.
-
Low
19-23mm. The shoe has a slightly cushioned feel and may feature added cushioning technologies. Performance training shoes and some trail shoes are common here. These offer protection during footstrike but prioritize a lightweight, grounded experience.
-
Medium
24-28mm. These shoes have a stack height that fall near the middle of the spectrum.The shoes in this category are verstaile and great for all types of runs and distances.
-
High
29-34mm. The shoe has a thick midsole and ample cushioning. These shoes are highly protective and absorb more impact than the body.
-
Maximal
35mm plus. The shoe has an extremely thick midsole and extra cushioning. The focus is on protection and soft foam underfoot with hardly any ground feel.
Stability Level
-
Neutral
Neutral shoes support the foot through a normal range of arch collapse and generally do not have a built-in technology to correct movement.
-
Stable
Stability shoes are a great option for those who overpronate or need added support. These shoes help to limit the inward rolling motion of the ankle while running or walking and assist in guiding the foot straight through the gait cycle.

Previous Feedback
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

Comments: Been wearing the SG since 3rd version as they have eliminated my knee pain without sacrificing any performance. Just wore SG5s for first time and completed a 50K trail race. No foot issues whatsoever and, as always, zero knee pain. Absolutely love this version of the SG after having two pair of SG4s and a pair of SG3s. All of the noted improvements were noticed and appreciated during the run - from the tongue to the upper material to the reduced weight and the heel flare - ride and traction was awesome. After initial use, I believe the upper on the SG5s will last longer than previous versions. Looking forward to putting them to the test! Highly recommend. Will be ordering another pair when available.

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: Joel. Boulder April 29th 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.
