FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the new SCF midsole?
The new SCF (Sensitive Compression Foam) midsole is designed to increase energy return, providing a more responsive and dynamic feel during your runs on technical terrain.
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance trail running?
Yes, the Speedgoat 7 is known as an 'all-day trail crusher' and is well-suited for long-distance trail running due to its cushioning, responsiveness, and comfort features like the refined heel collar.
How do I attach gaiters to the Speedgoat 7?
The Speedgoat 7 features built-in gaiter integration points. You can attach compatible gaiters by securing them to these designated points, typically located around the heel or laces, to help keep debris out.
What kind of terrain are these shoes best for?
These shoes are specifically designed for technical trail terrain, including rocky paths, roots, mud, and uneven surfaces. Their grippy outsole provides excellent traction.
Can I use these shoes for hiking?
While primarily designed for trail running, the Speedgoat 7's comfort, support, and traction make them suitable for hiking on challenging trails as well.
What is the difference between the Speedgoat 7 and previous versions?
The Speedgoat 7 introduces a new SCF midsole for enhanced energy return, a refined heel collar for improved comfort, and updated gaiter integration, while maintaining the trusted fit and traction of the series.
How should I clean my Speedgoat 7 trail shoes?
Gently brush off loose dirt, then use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely away from heat.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing them with your usual running socks for a more accurate fit assessment. Some break-in time may be required.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
The aggressive lug pattern is designed for diverse terrain. Clean the outsole periodically to remove embedded mud or debris that could affect grip. Wet surfaces inherently reduce traction for all footwear.
Gaiter attachment is loose
Ensure you are using compatible gaiters and that they are securely fastened according to their specific instructions. Check the shoe's integration points for any damage.
Midsole feels too firm
The SCF midsole is engineered for responsiveness. If you prefer a softer feel, ensure you have adequate break-in time. Consider your typical running terrain; this shoe is optimized for technical trails where responsiveness is key.
