Ive been using Hoka Speedgoat mids for a couple years - after suffering from knee pain from landing on outside of foot first. Which phsyio says is to do with my hip flexors and lack of flexibililty. Causes my knee caps to rub on the fat underneath - which she called "fatty agitation" lol.
I have the Salmon speedcross 4 too, they are awsome but only for very muddy conditions, they are so stiff (almost like cycling shoe) that any hard terrain is brutal to run on. Zero cushioning! And actually the stiffness causes me a bit of tendon pain in foot, but the grip is next level in mud! I've got the waterproof ones and i've never so much as fel a drip through them.
the reality is that if you have trouble with your shoes you need to go to a specialist and try on shoes, I did it, and it changed running for me. Dont do an internet shoe fit - unlikely it will make it better for you. just my 2c.
