FAQs
What makes the Speedgoat 7 more responsive than previous models?
The Speedgoat 7 features a new SCF midsole, which is engineered to provide increased energy return and a more propulsive feel with every stride.
Are these shoes suitable for hiking as well as running?
Yes, the Speedgoat 7's combination of cushioning, stability, and aggressive traction makes them highly suitable for both technical trail running and hiking.
How do I attach a gaiter to these shoes?
The shoes have integrated points specifically designed for gaiter attachment. Refer to your gaiter's instructions for the specific method of securing it to the shoe.
What is the main difference in the heel collar compared to older models?
The heel collar has been refined for improved comfort. This update aims to provide a more secure and comfortable fit around the ankle, reducing potential irritation on longer runs.
Can I wear these shoes on paved roads?
While they can be used on roads for short distances, the Speedgoat 7 is optimized for trail surfaces. Road running may cause premature wear of the outsole and will not provide the same level of comfort or performance as on trails.
How should I clean the shoes after a muddy run?
Remove excess dirt with a brush. Wash with cold water and mild soap using a soft cloth or brush. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight in the toe box.
Ensure you have selected the correct width. The Speedgoat 7 offers a standard fit, consider a half-size larger if you require more room. Break-in period may help.
Debris getting into the shoes.
Utilize the integrated gaiter attachment points to secure a compatible gaiter. Ensure the gaiter fits snugly around the shoe collar.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces.
While designed for excellent grip, extremely wet or polished surfaces may reduce traction. Clean the outsoles regularly to remove any packed-in debris that might affect grip.
Heel slippage.
Ensure the laces are tied securely using a runner's knot or a double knot. The refined heel collar may require a brief break-in period for a perfect fit.
