FAQs
What makes the Speedgoat 7 more responsive than previous models?
The Speedgoat 7 features a new SCF midsole compound, which is engineered to provide amplified energy return, making each stride feel more dynamic.
Is the Speedgoat 7 suitable for hiking as well as running?
Yes, the Speedgoat 7's robust construction, excellent traction, and cushioned ride make it a very capable shoe for both trail running and hiking on technical terrain.
How do I attach gaiters to the Speedgoat 7?
The shoe has an integrated system designed to securely attach compatible gaiters. Refer to the gaiter manufacturer's instructions for specific attachment methods.
What is the primary difference in the heel collar design?
The heel collar has been refined for enhanced comfort around the ankle. This updated design aims to reduce irritation during extended use.
How should I clean my Speedgoat 7 trainers?
Clean with a soft brush to remove dry dirt. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and cool water for tougher dirt. Always air dry away from heat.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Speedgoat 7 is designed for breathability and drainage on trails; it is not a waterproof shoe. Water may enter through the mesh upper and drainage ports.
What type of terrain is the Speedgoat 7 best suited for?
The Speedgoat 7 is optimized for technical trails, including rocky, rooty, uneven, and loose surfaces, where its grip and responsiveness are most beneficial.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure laces are adjusted properly without overtightening. Try wearing them with different sock thicknesses. If discomfort persists, consider if this size is the correct fit for your foot shape.
Reduced grip on slippery surfaces
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove mud or debris that might be impeding traction. Ensure the shoe is appropriate for the specific surface conditions; the Speedgoat 7 excels on technical trails but may perform differently on very smooth, wet surfaces.
Debris entering the shoe
Utilize the gaiter integration system by attaching compatible gaiters. Ensure the laces and tongue are properly secured to minimize entry points.
