Can I use custom orthotics with these?
Yes, the stock insole is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
What is the lug depth?
The outsoles feature 5mm lugs designed for maximum traction on loose and technical terrain.
Do these shoes include reflective elements?
Yes, they feature reflective detailing to help improve visibility in low-light conditions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on uneven ground
Ensure the dual gusset tongue is pulled tight and laces are properly secured to lock the midfoot in place.
Debris entering the shoe
Utilize the integrated gaiter compatibility points to secure a pair of trail gaiters.
Reduced grip on wet rock
Clean the mud and debris from the Vibram Megagrip lugs using a brush and water to restore surface contact.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Speedgoat 7s, start by adjusting the gusseted tongue to sit flat against your instep. If you are running in debris-heavy environments, attach your gaiters using the integrated compatibility points. After muddy runs, clean the outsoles with a soft brush and warm water to prevent the 5mm lugs from clogging, which can compromise traction. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, as extreme heat can degrade the cushioning materials.
